“Meet the Blakes” – an Irish fairy tale…

 

Proclaimers - I'm Gonna Be ( 500 Miles)

”Níl leigheas ar an ngrá ach pósadh!”  

           Irish people… and not just couple of them. Few dozens. Have you ever been in Ireland? Or, at least, have you ever been among the Irish people? That’s quite an experience. When God or Dagda made the Irish people, He didn’t mixed the dirt with the water. No lads, He used Guinness instead of water. That’s the secret. If you try to squeeze an irish lad you’ll get 70% Guinness beer and 29% of joy. But the rest of 1% will kick your butt like you never expected. I have never seen such a strong connections between people, I have never seen such strong feelings, such overwhelming emotions, such big smiles until I’ve met them. In that amazing 4th of July, on the Island of Hvar, we were the eyewitnesses of a magical wedding. It was like we were part of “The Magical Legend of The Leprechauns”.

And what is the best way to start the day you get marry?
