Amanda and Keith celebrated their special day at The Glenroyal Hotel in County Kildare. With a polka dot wedding cake, personalised poems as favours and some &#8216;Dirty Dancing&#8217; moves, this wedding seems to have been a real treat!

And I think it&#8217;s safe to say she has no regrets! But let&#8217;s ask the lady herself;<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Hi Amanda. When did you celebrate your wedding in The\u00a0Glenroyal\u00a0Hotel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Thursday, 8th December 2011.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Did you choose a particular theme for your wedding? What 3 words would describe it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>We went for a Christmas wedding. Magical,\u00a0Quirky, Perfect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/03\/new-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13813\" title=\"new 3\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/03\/new-3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"327\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>3. What was it about The\u00a0Glenroyal\u00a0Hotel that won you over when choosing your ideal wedding venue?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Originally it was their there VERY competitive wedding packages, but once we stepped in the door and met the team it was purely the staff that made us book our wedding there. They were all so welcoming, friendly, professional, and Kate the Conference &amp; Banqueting Manager was just all a bride could wish for; her attention to detail, her calming affect when you start to have one of those bridezilla moments. Nothing was too much trouble&#8230;&#8230;And I was kind of fussy!!!!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/03\/new-7.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13811\" title=\"new 7\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/03\/new-7-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"498\" height=\"331\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>3.

It was all of the little things, the little touches, the staff&#8230;&#8230;they simply went the EXTRA MILE.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>4.

We love cake here at the WeddingDates HQ! Tell us about your wedding cake..<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Well it wasn&#8217;t your typical cake, I wanted people to remember it, for it to stand out. I decided I would match my cake to my not so traditional shoes (Irregular Choice Ladybug). It was 4 tiers of chocolate biscuit heaven, stacked like presents would be under a tree. It was red &amp; white polka dot.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. What was your favourite part of the day?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>It had to of been the moment you start to walk down the aisle and see all your friends &amp; family there to support you. You feel very nervous, excited,\u00a0scared your going to fall in front of everyone\u00a0and then you look up and see your soon to be husband, and the way he is looking at you, you know then this is what you have planned &amp; waited for. Then suddenly there is a rush of calm throughout.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/03\/new-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-13814\" title=\"new 4\" src=\"https:\/\/weddingdates-wp-ie.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/2013\/03\/new-4-1024x681.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"491\" height=\"327\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/new-4-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/new-4-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weddingdates.ie\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/new-4-750x499.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 491px) 100vw, 491px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>7.

What one piece of advice would you give to brides to be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It is your wedding not everyone elses, do you what you and your partner want. Do not let others plan your day.
