Thank you so much for all the well wishes we have received since our engagement. It is lovely that there is so much excitement around the wedding.
We appreciate not everyone will be able to travel to share our day. We are also very conscious that it is long road from many of your homes, and so we put together a wee guide for anyone who has never been to the beautiful north west, and those who might want to take in some of the beauty of the Hills of Donegal.
