Tim knit himself some wedding socks as well.
You can check out some progress pictures on my Ravelry projects page.
The socks were great, they did fall down, I had ribbing at the top, but it wasn't enough to keep them up. I tried putting elastic in them, but it didn't really help. After I had knit them, I saw that you could buy elastic that you knit together with your yarn, but I saw it too late. They shoes I had customized, so cool! They were from Shoes of Prey. I have nothing but good things to say about them. They came very quickly, about 3 weeks, and when they came they were nicely wrapped in a velvet bag. I was worried that they wouldn't fit, they fit great. They did send some pads and things just in case, but I didn't need them.
We found a yarn store in Dublin, This is Knit. It was a great yarn store, I bought a sweaters worth and a few books on Irish cable knits.
We were in Ireland for 2 weeks, the second week we traveled from the west coast to the east coast and flew out of Dublin. During this time, we constantly saw the famous Aran sweater. This gave me the inpriation to knit my own, instead of buying one. I think that will have to happen in the near future.
