We are so blessed to have found each other and further blessed to welcome you to our home to celebrate our wedding. We will cherish the memory of sharing our Wedding Day with family and friends for ever. Thanks to everyone for traveling from near and far to be close to us on this, marvelous day.

<a href="http://www.maribrendan.com/MariBrendan/Podcast/Entries/2011/3/2_Wedding_Invitation.html"> Our Invitation to You </a>

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for. The time, effort, and expense of traveling to be with us is something we deeply appreciate in our hearts, and we are so thrilled that we will be able to celebrate this happy occasion with you. Honestly, we don't expect or encourage you to lavish any gifts upon us. We have been blessed with life's essentials in our home. We are hardly young newly weds in need of everything from a toaster to bathroom towels! The truth is that we don't want for any material things. We have a very comfortable home filled with love and our 4 gorgeous girls.

That being said, we have been asked repeatedly by friends where we "are registered". This site is designed to allow you to help us make our travel dreams come true. So, if you insist on giving us a gift we will treasure the memories of our first real travel adventure as husband and wife and be eternally grateful to you for making it possible.

Thank you for your love and friendship. We can't wait to see you at our wedding (or earlier!)

Love,
Mari and Brendan

We're going to Cork, Galway, Donegal, Dublin!

We leave for Ireland the day after our wedding in Deland accompanied by Maris parents, Wanda and Fernando. The day after we arrive in Ireland we have the marriage ceremony at Rochestown Church and a reception at <a href="http://www.rochestownpark.com"> Rochestown Park hotel. </a>

Here Mari will get to meet all of the Hurleys, 20 of them. Wow! That's going to be so much fun! The Gazal family and the Hurley family will have so much to look forward to in the years ahead. Just as everyone gets to know each other and as new lifetime friendships are formed, we will head off to <a href="http://www.solishotels.com/lougheskecastle/"> Lough Eske </a> in the most Northern county of Ireland, <a href="http://www.discoverireland.com/us/ireland-places-to-go/counties/donegal/"> Donegal. </a>

This part of Ireland is ruggedly beautiful. Its also a part of Ireland where Brendan has spent very little time. We will discover new things together and wonder at the sights of this beautiful part of Brendan's native country.
