Shannon & Michael

With your wonderful gift we'll spend a night on the town, dance, laugh, and let loose wherever we desire.

With your wedding gift we'll spend a night out at a traditional Irish Pub, enjoying its rich musical heritage from ballads and sean-nos singers, to fiddlers and pipers. We'll sit back and listen to traditional Irish music, or "Trad Sessions," and spend an evening with the locals!

There is nothing like a relaxing horseback ride taking in the beautiful scenery of our surroundings. Includes a 1 hour lesson and 2 hour trail ride through the beautiful country just outside of Dublin

With this gift we can take a day trip from Athlone to the City of Galway, voted the World's Friendliest City in 2015! We'll tour the Cliffs of Moher along with several medieval abby's and small towns along the way.

Everyone should play a "round" a little so we will reserve our tee times now. We might not be any good but who can pass up the opportunity to play a round of golf in Ireland!

We'll get to experience the ancient art of falconry on our very own guided hawk walk. We'll go on a guided tour through the woods with a falcon trained to fly off and return back to our gloved arms. Such a once in a lifetime experience!

We'll have a drink or two on you at the local bar or at our favorite saloon. Cheers!

With your gift we won't have to lug our golf bags on our vacation. Thank you!

What a romantic evening as the boat drifts along the River Shannon in Athlone, one of the most beautiful places to watch the sunset along the river.

We'll get to sample on this tour some of Ireland's famous brands of whiskey - that's whiskey with an 'e' while visiting some of Irelands oldest distilleries.

With your perfect gift we can plan ahead and upgrade to a room with a view of the River Shannon on our once in a lifetime trip! The Tower Rooms at the Sheraton Athlone are an adults only section to give peace and quiet, with amazing views of the city of Athlone and the River below.

Why settle for a standard room especially on this special time. With your gift, we can plan ahead and upgrade to a romantic suite on our once in a lifetime trip!

With your wedding gift we will reserve a night in our Honeymoon Suite and indulge in luxury that exceeds all of our expectations. Our honeymoon suite is not just romantic; it's spacious, comfortable, luxurious and very private. Thank you for Suite Memories!

What better way to enhance our fine dining experience than with our chosen bottle of exceptional wine. Cheers!

What could be better than knowing we'll have breakfast to enjoy between the sheets? We'll order eggs florentine, cinnamon rolls, freshly squeezed orange juice (well maybe just for Mike) and hot coffee which all seem to taste better served to us in bed! We can relax and overlook the city as we recover from our flight and plan the day!

It's casual, fun and perfect for an afternoon lunch. With so many restaurants in town, we'll choose the most perfect, casual restaurant where we'll take delight in the juiciest burgers, fresh sandwiches, chicken and fries!

A table will be reserved for us at our favorite restaurant. We can choose from fresh fruits, freshly baked pastries, breakfast meats, scrambled eggs, French toast, hash browns, juice and coffee. Give us the works we need our energy on our getaway.

No trip to Ireland is complete without a drop of the "black stuff" and where better to have it than at the Guinness Storehouse. After our tour around the brewery we'll have a pint or two in the Gravity Bar with stunning views across Dublin. Cheers!

We’ll love a night just to ourselves! Indulging in the romantic ambiance, we’ll enjoy tantalizing cuisine at our favorite restaurant and make a toast to our lives together!

We would love just one more night to celebrate and indulge in romance! At our favorite restaurant we’ll enjoy spectacular cuisine and sip on classical cocktails and concoctions while toasting to us and our ‘last’ night on our escape in paradise!

We look forward to reserving an intimate candlelit dinner. We'll choose a quiet restaurant with a warm atmosphere, outstanding cuisine and impeccable service.

At our favorite Steak House, we'll reserve a table so we can tantalize our tastebuds! We'll choose from an array of prime aged steaks, chops, bone-In New York, filet mignon, double pork chops and racks of lamb. All choices are grilled the classic way juicy, tender, with the flavors developed fully. This is a sanctuary for us steak aficionados. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.

With so many ice cream parlors in town, we'll try everything from hot fudge sundaes to soft serve ice cream and thick milkshakes. Who cares about the diet on our fantastic getaway!

We would love to shop around for our favorite piece of art as a cherished keepsake from our once in a lifetime trip. This gift will adorn our home for many years to come!

We will relax and get comfortable in our very own top quality rich and extremely soft robe. Embroidered with romantic memories!

When in Athlone we'll be renting bikes for our stay there to ride around the small fishing town and ride their gorgeous trails near the Shannon.

What a great start! We can arrange to arrive in style and comfort...maybe enjoy a glass or two of champagne to toast to our lives together.

We won't be renting a car so we'll mostly be riding bikes from place to place. But for those places a little too far away to bike to, it would be wonderful to be able to take a taxi and get a little tour from a true Irishman!

Any help to get to and from our destination is a wonderful gift. We will be thanking you long after take off.

We'll need a spa day just to ourselves! We will sit back, relax and indulge in a rejuvenating and revitalizing spa treatment or massage to help soothe our tense muscles and to help us get back in the groove.

Lifestyles of the rich and the famous! Send us off with chilled champagne in our limousine from the airport to our destination.

We'll toast to our lives together as we uncork the effervescence of a bottle of champagne. Cheers!

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!

I will be pampered with a classic and gentle cleansing facial with wonderful aromatic ingredients, leaving my skin radiant and beautiful. No photos during the treatment allowed!

There is nothing like waking up to the sweet smell of flowers by our bedside. How romantic!

I will enjoy a gentleman's spa day. Relaxing in the spa being pampered with an invigorating massage and a soothing scalp treatment, then to complete my day at the spa a Gentleman's Nail Grooming. Who says a spa day is just for the girls?

Spoil him with lubricants and moisturizers that take him to a new level of shaving. After the hot towels are applied to soften his skin, a close shave leaves him smooth, healthy and looking good.

The nails have to look good to show off my beautiful wedding ring.

We can plan to start our trip with a romantic flair! What better way than with the decadence of this unbeatable combination?

We'll savor an exotic medley of fruit, hand-dipped individually into a rich and silky smooth chocolate to indulge while overlooking the spectacular views! Simply sweet bliss!
