MANY congratulations to Larne trainer Stuart Crawford and physiotherapist Jill Davidson who were married last Saturday in Donegal Presbyterian Church with their reception taking place in Lough Eske Castle.

Stuart, his best man and youngest brother Ben, and some others just about made it to the hotel on Friday night as the vehicle in which they were travelling broke down and had to be towed to Lough Eske Castle.

Stuart’s other brothers Ross and Steven were groomsman while Jill’s bridesmaids were event rider Rachel Ferres, Cat Wilson and Tina Henriksson. Emma-Jayne and Annie Crawford acted as flower girls.

Family guests came from as far away as Australia to spend the day with those from the worlds of racing and eventing. As an Irish dancer in his childhood, Stuart could have been expected to put on a bit of show at the wedding but, due to his broken leg and crutches, was allowed sit the session out.

Not so Ross, Steven and Ben who Jill had organised to put on a special display of Irish dancing which raised the roof.
