Aoibhin Garrihy has shared a sweet poem written by her father Eugene, as she celebrated her second wedding anniversary with husband John Burke.
The beautiful poem, centered around the couple’s life in Doolin Co. Clare, was the caption for the stunning throwback wedding shot that the actress shared to social media today.
The former Dancing With the Stars Ireland contestant and mountaineer husband John, married in a spectacular ceremony in the West of Ireland two years ago, with Aoibhin’s sisters Doireann and Ailbhe by her side as bridesmaids.
The beauty’s father Eugene penned a poem for the occassion, and she has now shared it with her followers.
“Doolin Romance
With my true love we gazed out,
On beauty out of dreams
Where lunar landscapes kiss the bogs
And gentians speckle greens.
He held my hand on Moher’s edge,
Where streams and rivers flow
We watched the puffins break through shells
Revealing coloured glow.
He asked me if I’d be his bride
To love for ever more,
My answer pounding in my heart
You’re the one that I adore
Then gannets dived and salmon leaped
And dolphin’s dance at sea
A thousand birds of every hue
Sang sweet in harmony
We tip toed ore those lunar slopes
On this ice created space
With floral carpet at our feet
On Burren vast woven lace
And music flowed from every house
With roofs of straw and tile.
We danced all night on Moher flags
Then kissed by moonlight stile
We strolled boreen’s to heather hills
With scents of mountain thyme
And viewed the church on distant hill
Where now our hands entwine.
A decendent of this place I am,
So someday we might share,
With children and their children too
This Jewel in Co Clare
So if romance is what you seek
And Doolin’s down below
Immerse yourself in natures gift,
And let emotions flow.
Eugene Garrihy
