This just goes to show that flattery, can in fact, get you anywhere. There was a message on the chat board on the front page of barganews today which read;

liam, irish man : Visited Barga on the 11th of August for a week to celebrate my dads wedding, had a fantasic time and would recommend the town, the people, the food and the everything else about Barga to everybody i know and don't. Thank you Barga! Hope to be back soon.

Well what could we do to thank Liam ? hmmmmm, how about a belated wedding article? So more than a month late but we got there in the end.

 My long time partner Deborah Corr and I ( William McDonagh ) were wed in Barga's town Hall on the 14th August 2007 at 17.00hrs. Although Deborah was born in Canada she is an Irish citizen, we live in Belfast, Ireland. Accompanying us on our special day was our children, Liam og, Simon Gene, Karl and Liam og's wife AnneMarie. After the ceremony we dined/partied at Restorante Il Pozzo in Pieve Fosciana and then back to Barga for some more refreshments at the L'Osteria in Piazza Angelio
