World travellers return to Waterford for beautiful wedding

Sarah Corely and Adam O'Neill were married in Faithlegg House Hotel on October 11.

Sarah is the daughter of Margaret Callaghan and James Corley from County Mayo.

Adam is the son of Dolores Coady and Paddy O'Neill from Waterford city.

They met in a funky little disco bar over a decade ago in Galway City. After a few years of living in Dublin together, they set off on their travels.

Sarah said: “We had a blast in Dublin at gigs, concerts, shows, and regular trips from Dublin airport around Europe. Adam and I like to travel and are very easy going, that’s probably why we get on so well.” 

In 2018, they both decided to leave Dublin and explore South America and Asia.

They backpacked, holidayed and worked their way through over twenty countries.

Adam said: “Good times. It was like a never-ending holiday.” 

They returned home at the tail end of 2020 and welcomed their little boy Noah in 2022 and their little girl Sadie in 2023.

Their wedding was autumn-themed, focusing on family, friends and good music. 

The ceremony singers were Tara & Johnny, reception by flamingo guitarist John Walsh, and to top the day off the Pop Life rocked the crowd long into the night.

They were married in Passage East's Crooke church overlooking the River Suir. 

The backdrop had Hook Lighthouse in the background.

The Ceremony was given by Father Pat Fitzgerald of St. Paul's Parish.

The weather was just right and everyone was in top form on the day.

The Mayo people that travelled down brought the craic and banter and were met with the same from the Deise gang.

Photography on the day was by the one and only David Murphy. Videographer was by Paul at Old Pine films.

The couple would like to thank their family and friends for all of their support.

All of us here at the Waterford News and Star wish Sarah and Adam a long and happy marriage.
