Anne Marie Power weds Darren Turner

Saturday 5th June 2004 at St. Kentigerns Church Eyeries saw the wedding of Ann Marie Power, Coulaghard, Eyeries to Darren Turner formerly of Kings Langley, Watford, Herts; England. The ceremony was beautifully and movingly performed by Fr. Brendan Walsh, Tralee formerly Curate to Castleltownbere and now Parish Priest of Anauscaul, Dingle and assisted by Fr. Eamonn Mulvhill, PP Eyeries.

Ann Marie, who is the eldest daughter of Michael (RIP) & Mary Power, Coulaghard was given away by her mother - in the stead of her father who passed away in November 2002, to Darren who is the only son of Philip and Susan Turner, Cornwall, England.

Ann Marie looked absolutely radiant in her ivory full length Bronteisque gown and full length Cathedral veil carrying a bouquet of red roses. She was assisted by her sister Caroline as Chief Bridesmaid who flew in from the Isle of Skye, Scotland for the occasion and best friends Ann O'Sullivan Rua, Cahirkeem and Sinead O'Sullivan John L Cahermore. The girls wore full length gowns of forest green and carried bouquets of calla lilies. Flower Girls were Fiona Hartnett, Ballincollig and Saoirse Power, Glengarriff.

Darren who looked equally handsome in a black velvet dress suit was attended by his best friends Matt Kent as Best Man, also Ian Bevan and Andrew Bateman as Ushers. Page boy was Matthew Anthony, Bournemouth. All flew in from England with the exception of Ian who resides in Cork.

Guests from Ireland, UK and USA were in great spirits at the reception which was held in The Eccles Hotel Glengarriff where a fantastic and plentiful meal was served. They were welcomed initially by Shane Keating, Midleton playing the uileann pipes and after the meal everyone danced the night away to Deja Vu from Cork.

The couple spent their honeymoon on a Scandinavian Cruise aboard The Jewel of the Seas which included visits to Oslo, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Helsinki, St. Petersburg and Tallinn. The ship has subsequently docked at Ringaskiddy as part of its tour of the WISE islands.

The couple met 4 years ago in England when they both worked together for Huntleigh Healthcare in Luton, Bedfordshire. They both moved back to Ireland and are now residing in Glanmire, Co. Cork.
