Parish offers recession-proof ‘community-style’ weddings

A Clare parish is offering couples recession-busting community-style weddings for those who have been unable to get married because of cash difficulties.

Lisdoonvarna priest, Fr Conor Cunningham, believes that hundreds of young people are putting off getting married because they cannot afford an extravagant wedding ceremony.

The North Clare priest has offered to open up his church for a number of recession-friendly wedding ceremonies which he hopes will attract cash strapped lovers to take the plunge.
