A shared passion for medieval history, music, Man United, and Harry Potter books worked its magic for Rachel McCarthy and Trevor McCarthy.

Rachel, from Cork city, and Trevor, from Kilmallock, County Limerick, have lived in the bride’s native Togher for the past eight years and it was there they exchanged wedding vows, in October, in the Church of the Way of the Cross, in a Mass led by Fr John Walsh.
