FRIENDS and family joined Kim Hill from Tredagh View and Mark Churchill from Riverbank for their wedding in St Peter's Church recently.

Kim's five bridesmaids looked stunning in dark wine, floor length dresses while the bride herself wore a beautiful strapless ivory gown.

The couple met while working in Coke where Mark is still employed, while Kim left after having the couple's daughter, April.

Kim's three daughters, Stacey and twins Nicole and Rebecca were bridesmaids on the day alongside her sister Linda McDonnell and her best friend, Patricia Farrelly.

Mark's brother, Martin Churchill, nephew Paul Duffy and friends Daz Bedford and Johnny Finney were groomsmen on the day while his bestman was friend Desmond Murray.

Their flowergirls were daughter April and niece Louise McDonnell while Kim's godson Josh McDonnell and their nephew Corran O'Sullivan were pageboys.

The couple held their reception in the Westcourt Hotel where they were joined by a host of family and friends including Kim's parents Maria and Oliver Hill and her ten siblings, Jacquline, Oliver, David who travelled up from Kerry for the day, Linda, Mandy, Tina, Grace, Laura and Barry as well as their partners.

Mark's parents Rose and Billy Churchill, brother Martin and sisters Ann and Deirdre and brother-in-law Frank were also there. His great great granny Maggie was also in the Westcourt to join in the festivities.

The crowd were entertained for the evening by Electric Avenue who were 'absolutely brilliant' and the party went on well into the early hours.

The couple flew to Mexico for their honeymoon before settling into married life at their home in The Close, Tredagh View.
