Congratulations and best wishes to Kate O'Brien, Kilmagemogue, who exchanged vows recently with her 'Prince Charming', Conor Diskin who hails from the beautiful Loughrea, in Galway. The ceremony and reception took place in the stunning Lyrath Estate and all their guests enjoyed a fantastic day. Proud parents Fran and Anne-Marie O Brien and John and Marie Diskin looked on with great pride as the popular couple exchanged their vows in front of their friends and family. We wish this lovely couple the very best and hope they enjoy many years of good health and happiness.
