Caoimhe Lillis - Bride
Caoimhe grew up in Patrickswell in Limerick where she lived with her adoring and supportive family for most of her life. She moved to Cork in 2021 and met Daniel 2 years later. She always prioritised her health and happiness yet admittedly felt she was missing her 'person'. Daniel arrived and he was 100% the missing piece.
Daniel McCarthy - Groom
Daniel was imported from England after a few months of being born. His childhood was a mix of living in West Cork and Dungarvan (Co.Waterford). Daniel in Caoimhe's words was a serial dater, looking for his one, which he eventually found and knew he could finally stop! Caoimhe had taken his interest from the first moment they spoke back in July 2023 and the rest was history. Daniel was known to be a "lone wolf" but eventually found his side kick in Caoimhe!
Bridesmaids
Mary Donohue - Maid of Honour
All time bestie of the bride since 3 years of age when they attended play school together. Mary and Caoimhe have been friends through thick and thin and are always looking out for one another.
Aoife Meade - Bridesmaid
Aoife has been a wonderful friend and cheerleader to the bride since they met when she started going out with her brother James. 8 years later and she is certainly one of the family.
Áine Ahern - Bridesmaid
Caoimhe and Áine met during the covid lockdown and quickly became friendly as they passed each other on their walks down Faha. Áine rescued Bruff, the family dog in a time of need and their friendship has flourished since.
Laura Ruttledge - Bridesmaid
Caoimhe and Laura met when they took the leap to move to Cork. Many roadtrips, sleepovers and nights on the town later and they fell in love with the rebel county. Not long untill they also fell in love with Daniel and Ayrton!
Gráinne McCarthy - Bridesmaid
Gráinne and Caoimhe met shortly after she started going out with her brother Daniel. They immediately got on great and Gráinne has always made Caoimhe feel welcome and part of the family.
Jean Langford - Bridesmaid
Jean went to sceondary school with Caoimhe where they became friends. They also attended University of Limerick together. They have supported each other throughout their journeys to reaching their dreams.
Groomsmen
Matthew McCarthy - Best man
The brother of the groom, they are so close that their birthdays land right next to each other on the calendar but at the same time, they are quite far apart as Matthew happens to be a Liverpool fan. Chosen to be the best man as the brothers have been there for each other through thick and thin.
Kealum Redmond - Groomsman
The lad from Mayyyy-oh! (Mayo). You wouldn't find a better man to lead a room full of laughs, never a dull moment when you are around him, but at the same time, very level headed. Daniel and Kealum have been friends for the best part of nearly 10 years when they found each other online gaming. He would have a story or two on what he thought of the groom at first. Don't be afraid to ask!
Christopher O'Grady - Groomsman
Going by this guy's headshot, you would be thinking he wanted your vote really. But in reality, you'd only be spoiling your vote if you did!
Questions are raised on this friendship by many people over the years. It's a rare occurrence that Chris or Daniel would have a nice word to say to each other. But they have some level of respect for one another going back to when they first met in 3rd Class in Abbeyside Primary school. It wasn't long ago they had American friends believing Daniel that Chris had no legs. Long Story.
Vineet Thakkar - Groomsman
The newest addition to Daniels gang! Vineet and Daniel first met when Vineet introduced him to his first day in Stryker back in August 2023. It wasn't long before Daniel saw the characteristics he likes to have around him. Trust and Loyalty. Vineet would do anything for you and one of the nicest people you would ever meet. Not one to shy away and join in with the typical "Irish Humour". You could say, Daniel is probably a bad influence at times.
Kevin Burke - Groomsman
Ahhh Kevin, the most intelligent man you would ever meet. Daniel has openly admitted this guy solo carried him through college after they met in WIT in 1st year back in 2018. While Daniel would be frustrated looking at notes hoping to pass, this fellow would just need to listen in class and understood it all. But it wasn't all about helping Daniel with education, hes the guy to pull a step ladder out of his pocket, you need something he has it, while also having a wise mind that would always guide you in the right direction.
Fintan Jordan - Groomsman
Fintan AKA The West Brit. Being from Dublin, this guy wouldn't be long calling you a "bogger". It wasn't for a few years the gang found out his roots were Kerry, what scandal that was! Fintan is the quiet lad, but when he does speak, you're trying to keep yourself together from laughing hard, while also loves a good pint of Guinness! Daniel and Fintan met online gaming, (Chris unfortunately happened to be there that day too!). Many games later and the Dub is now one of his groomsman. He's fond of Watermelons to be fair to him! Also has a natural rivalry with Kealum due to Fintans smug success with the Sam Maguire since their friendship began.
Flower Girl
Mia McCarthy - Flower Girl
Mia is Daniel's goddaughter and niece. The bride and groom adore Mia and her vibrant and fun personality. Mia enjoys dancing and performing.
