Couple Say 'I Do' On Croagh Patrick

A couple have taken their wedding to new heights with a ceremony on the top of Ireland's holiest mountain, Croagh Patrick.

Around 50 guests joined Willie Gordon, a firefighter from Annalong, County Down and Susanna Gaynor, a General Practitioner from Newcastle County Kildare, as they tied the knot at 2,507ft (764.1m).


They became are the seventh couple to say "I do" in the 107-year-old St Patrick's Oratory.

"She asked me where I wanted to get married and I said on top of a mountain and Croagh Patrick seemed like the obvious choice," Willie, a former Irish League footballer who played for Bangor, Portadown and Linfield, told the BBC.

The couple are keeping with the mountain theme for their honeymoon in the Himalayas.
