Normally when we talk about children participating in weddings, it’s either as iompr\u00f3ir\u00ed f\u00e1inne<\/b> or as cail\u00edn\u00ed bl\u00e1thanna<\/b>.\u00a0\u00a0 But I recently read a heart-breaking story about a young boy, terminally ill, who served as vaidht\u00e9ir<\/b> (best man) at his parents’ wedding.\u00a0 N\u00ed raibh s\u00e9 ach dh\u00e1 bhliain d’aois.<\/b><\/p>\n

C\u00e9n f\u00e1th an br\u00fa seo, leanbh chomh h\u00f3g sin a bheith ina vaidht\u00e9ir ag bainis?\u00a0 Bh\u00ed an buachaill bocht an-tinn; an ailse (<\/b>leoic\u00e9ime) a bh\u00ed air.<\/b>\u00a0 Earlier in July, the parents found out that this young boy had only a few more weeks to live.\u00a0 When the seriousness of the boy’s condition was discovered, the entire wedding service was planned in approximately one week.\u00a0 \u00a0The original intention was to have the wedding in 2014, but given the situation in late July, the ceremony was held on August 3, 2013.\u00a0 Bh\u00ed an searmanas i Jeannette, Pennsylvania, in aice le Pittsburgh<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Bh\u00ed Logan Stevenson ina vaidht\u00e9ir<\/b>.\u00a0 His parents wanted him to be present as they wed.\u00a0 The news reports describe him as looking “dapper” in a pinstriped suit.<\/p>\n

N\u00edl aithne ar bith agam ar an teaghlach ach bhris mo chro\u00ed faoi dh\u00f3 nuair a l\u00e9igh m\u00e9 go bhfuair s\u00e9 b\u00e1s dh\u00e1 l\u00e1 tar \u00e9is na bainise.\u00a0 <\/b><\/p>\n

N\u00edl a fhios agam an bhfuil baint ar bith le h\u00c9irinn ag Logan agus a thuismitheoir\u00ed, <\/b>Christine (Swidorsky) agus<\/b> Se\u00e1n Stevenson, ach le<\/b> “Logan” ar an mac agus<\/b> “Se\u00e1n” ar an athair, d\u00e9arfainn go bhfuil.\u00a0 “\u00d3 Leoch\u00e1in” at\u00e1 ar an ainm\u00a0<\/b>“Logan” mar shloinne<\/strong> i nGaeilge<\/b> (i.e. descendant of Leoch\u00e1n).\u00a0\u00a0 Cuirtear<\/b> “Loghan” agus <\/b>“Lohan” air i mB\u00e9arla freisin<\/b>.<\/p>\n

P.S. I suppose there is no way to be completely sure if Logan was actually the youngest best man at any wedding ever, but if there are any little boys who served in that role at a younger age, I hope it was under happier circumstances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
