Hurricane Harvey - Houston Flood Relief Fund

Donations Welcome

Those who have purchased registry gifts can feel free to bring them to the event or have them shipped to the bride and groom's registry address. However, if you have not yet had a chance to visit the registry, the bride asks that you please consider donating to the Houston Flood Relief Fund by J. J. Watt in lieu of a physical gift. The Houston Flood Relief Fund was initiated by J. J. Watt to help Houstonians and other Texans who have suffered during the Hurricane Harvey natural disaster.Please visit <a href="https://www.youcaring.com/victimsofhurricaneharvey-915053 " target="_blank">this link</a> for more details.

Clym and Lindsey met over drinks, and they were quickly surprised with how much they had in common. Their taste in food, music, and adventure are so similar. They really enjoy taking part in each other's interests. More than anything, they respect and admire each other, and their marriage will be a partnership of intense love and devotion.

Lindsey & Clym

Clym was born in Ballymoney, Northern Ireland, and Lindsey was born in Baytown, Texas - 4,471 miles, or 7195 kilometers, apart. Their families are on each side of the great, blue Atlantic, and it would break both of their hearts if they couldn't share their special day on both sides of the pond - so they decided to have two ceremonies! They very much appreciate the lengths that their families and friends are willing to go in order to ensure that their big days are as special as they can be.

A Tale of Two Weddings

Ireland

Giorraíonn beirt bóthar.

Day One Everyone flies into Dublin International, and after we ditch the bags at the hotel, we'll head down to the closest pub for some hometown Guinness and comfort food.Day TwoWe depart Dublin on a bus tour, driving through the midlands down to Blarney, in the beautiful County Cork. We will pass through the Golden Vale, the most fertile lands in all of Europe with green fields as far as the eye can see. We get great panoramic views of the Galtee mountains, as we pass through County Tipperary down to the southern County Cork.We enjoy a panoramic drive through Cork City on the banks of the River Lee. We will enjoy an hour of free time to walk through the city center and soak up the atmosphere of the Southern Capital. Consider a visit to English Market - a historic food market with a wide array of local produce ranging from artisan meats and cheeses, the ideal place for lunch recently made famous by Queen Elizabeth herself. St Fin Barre's Cathedral and the musical Shandon bells are also nearby.We visit Cobh, the departure point for many of the starving emigrants who left for America, and UK between 1848 - 1850 and especially during the great famine years. The final port of call for RMS Titanic, before her tragic demise. Visit the magnificent St. Coleman's Cathedral. Consider visiting the new Titanic Experience, in the original White Star Line building. Kiss the Blarney Stone and receive the 'gift of the gab' for 7 years. Situated on the battlements of Blarney Castle you will have to bend over backwards to kiss the stone! We also visit the Witch's Cave in the castle grounds, and explore the famous Gardens. There will also be plenty of time to indulge in the haven of the Blarney Woolen Mills and craft shop, the largest Irish shop in the world.We depart for Dublin via the Golden Vale of County Tipperary, after a great day spent in County Cork! We expect to arrive back at approx 8:30 pm.Day Three We tour the famous Jameson distillery and then we're off to the Guinness brewery for a whole day of taste testing the finest Irish whiskey and beer. Later that night, the bride and groom will say goodbye and hit the town for their Stag and Hen parties - not for the faint of heart!Day FourA day of travel! We'll be off to Belfast on the train. Get ready for the most beautiful scenery of your life. That night, we'll have dinner downtown and get some much needed rest from the night before.Day FiveA bus tour to the Giant's Causeway! We depart Belfast and travel inland to the north coast, visiting the Bushmills distillery, Dunluce Castle, and the Causeway. We get to cross the Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge and do a little shopping in Carnlough. We return to Belfast taking in the incredible scenery along the Antrim Coast Road.Day SixWe take the train out of Belfast to Clym's hometown of Castlerock. The ride is brief, so we'll have plenty of time to see the beaches of the North Atlantic, the ruins of a temple and the next door Hezlett House, and maybe have a round of golf at the 1901 course, seemingly designed to test your every skill with a club. Then, we'll take the train to Derry and drive over to the An Grianan hotel in preparation for the big day.Day SevenThe wedding has arrived! The bride and groom will spend the morning in the hotel getting ready and taking their time. We'll make the drive up to the Grianan of Aileach fort and seal the deal. Photos are taken, and we'll head back down the hill to the hotel where a night of eating, drinking, and dancing will be had by all.Day EightWe say goodbye to the Emerald Isle and to Mr. and Mrs. Gatrell!

Travel

Transportation

You may fly into either Bush-Hobby or Houston Intercontinental, but either way we would suggest renting a car. Houston is a sprawling city, and the drive from the airport to the venue can be an hour long. Your best options for hotels will be in the downtown area of Houston, inside of the I-610 Highway Loop. However, there are some more affordable options outside of town. If you are concerned about your choice of hotel or if you would like a specific recommendation, please feel free to email or call us anytime.lindseyantonini@gmail.com281.723.2557

Q + A

The An Grianan Hotel is right down the hill from the Grianan of Aileach, and about twenty minutes west of Derry. If you're looking for an after-wedding adventure, a trip to Malin Head, the Giant's Causeway, or Belfast proper would be a quick train ride away.To book your hotel room, you will have to call or email. Since we have rooms blocked off for our event, you'll need to mention the Antonini-Gatrell wedding. Please let us know if you have any problems.

Long an undiscovered gem, Derry~Londonderry stands today in the midst of a compelling transformation. It is a city emerging from a long and colourful history to showcase its brilliance to the world, like a butterfly emerging from a chrysalis of conflict. Here in the city you can expect many a smile of greeting from people who are noted worldwide for their friendly hospitality. Meander through the bustling streets of the only completely Walled City in Ireland and the British Isles and listen to the echoes of 1450 years of history. Stroll along its 17th century walls which are over 400 years old, and marvel at the ever-changing skyline of a city which is constant only in the warmth of its welcome.

Curated by one man and his wife, you'll be given a personal tour through a lifetime's collection of artifacts and cultural stories of the Irish people.

Doagh Famine Village

Glenveagh National Park is a remote and hauntingly beautiful wilderness of rugged mountains, pristine lakes, tumbling waterfalls and enchanted native oak woodland in the heart of the Derryveagh Mountains in the north west of County Donegal. At the centre of the Park on the edge of Lough Veagh is Glenveagh Castle, a late 19th century castellated mansion, built as a hunting lodge. At the same time Scots pine woodlands were planted and red deer re-introduced.Surrounding the Castle are the renowned Gardens, boasting a multitude of exotic plants whose luxuriance contrasts starkly with the surrounding barren landscape. The Walled Garden is a horticultural masterpiece, as are the Italian Terrace and Tuscan Garden.
