Twins celebrate on the double!
21ST BIRTHDAY BASH IN THE STAR BAR
Enjoying themselves at Molly and Gemma Smyth's 21st in the Star Bar were Terry Trimderr and Michael Keogh.
NIGHT Owl arrived into the Star and Crescent last Friday to be greeted by a twin celebration, with pictures and posters everywhere of Bettystown pair Gemma and Molly Smyth.
The twins were celebrating their 21st birthday and were determined to throw a party to remember for all their family and friends.
The twins firstly paid tribute to their mam Grace without whom their night wouldn't have been possible.
'She came down to the function room earlier on and put up loads of photos of us through the years which she got together and also posters which she got made,' said Gemma who, like her sister, had absolutely no idea that her mam had arranged all the decorations.
That wasn't the only surprise on the night with both Molly and Gemma shocked with the surprise appearance of their uncle Clive Smyth, who travelled from Sutton especially for the night.
'I can't believe that he is here,' added Molly.
'I had popped out for a minute and when I returned I just saw him standing at the bar. It's great.'
Molly was also delighted with all of her presents she got but especially the gift she got from her mam.
'I have a two-year-old daughter Brooke who managed to get her hands on my iPod a while ago so for my birthday my mam got me a new one and I'm really delighted with it,' said Molly.
The night wasn't just a celebration for the girls' birthday but it was also a going away party for Gemma.
'I'm going away to Greece for six months so this will probably be the last time we will have everybody together before I go,' birthday girl Gemma told the Drogheda Independent.
