'If you can dance in a hotel you can dance in a church': A Galway priest has gone viral with this lovely wedding moment
ON SATURDAY AUGUST 12th in Menlough, County Galway, Rois Lydon and Paudie Mannion got married in the local church.
Brendan McElwaine was there to record the ceremony for Make My Day Productions.
And he captured the loveliest moment – when Father John O’Gorman got the whole wedding party up for a dance when a song was being played
Yes, about a minute into a cover of Jimmy Buckley’s Your Wedding Day, Father O’Gorman spontaneously went into the congregation to fetch the Father of the Bride

Brendan tells DailyEdge.ie why Father O’Gorman went all out for Rois and Paudie’s wedding:
He eventually stepped in to dance with the Mother of the Bride so that the bride and groom could have their first dance together
And left the congregation with a thought when it was all said and done:
“If you can dance in a hotel you can dance in a church”
What a moment for them – and everyone involved in that unique first dance.
