MANY congratulations to long-term partners Neil McKnight and Christene Bryson who missed the point-to-point at Maralin on Saturday to get married in Loughbrickland with their wedding reception taking place in the Burrendale Hotel & Country Club, Newcastle.

It was no surprise to learn that Neil’s best man was his great friend Philip Boyd, who was his usual outgoing self as he shared duties with the groom’s brother Mark, while the bridesmaids were Megan McKnight, Nikki Bryne and Ruth Aiken. The couple’s two children also had roles to fill, Taylor being junior bridesmaid while Scott was pageboy.
