BILLY Lee and Catriona McNabb were able to marry last Saturday in Downpatrick but like a lot of couples plans had to change.

“We have being together for about four and a half years and we had a hotel booked in Belfast to have the wedding reception. But they had to cancel and we went ahead with 25 guests in the church and then a quiet meal in Catriona’s home in Downpatrick,” said Billy.

Catriona has connections to racing through her uncle Russell McNabb.

Guests were family members of the couple and a few friends and Gary Carroll and Ronnie Whelan were waiting outside the church to wish them well.

The couple plan to set up in Billy’s home town Ballingarry, Co Limerick and the house is “getting there”.Good shooting
