‘Open’ marriage for Fota newlyweds

It’s one thing sharing your wedding day with hundreds of friends and family. But it’s quite another to share it with 25,000 golf nuts.

But that’s just what newlyweds Eimear and James Cross had to do at Fota Island yesterday and the pair revelled in the attention as they arrived at the 18th green to “have a look” and see what all the fuss was about.

The couple tied the knot in St Michael’s Church in Glanmire and had initially expected a nice quiet day in the beautiful surroundings of Fota.
