               For the romantic 
                in all of us Blarney Pilgrim offers the ideal venue for a "Wedding 
                at Sea".  
              The "Traditions 
                of the Ship" add that unique touch to your special day. The ship 
                is "Dressed Over All" with her suit of signal flags. As your family 
                and friends are welcomed aboard, friends of the ship fill the 
                festive air with the sounds of Celtic jigs and reels.  
              The Wedding 
                Ceremony aboard Blarney Pilgrim also has it's special moments. 
                 
              After rings 
                have been exchanged, Captain Paddy asks the bride and groom to 
                raise their clasped hands. "The Knot" is then dropped over their 
                upraised hands symbolizing their union.  
                When the official documents have been duly signed, the bride and 
                groom sip their first toast from the Ship's Bell.  
                A single shot is fired from the Ship's Cannon to  
                "Set the Ink" on their vows.
