Love is in the air as couples tell their stories

Since 2008 New Jersey Rose Rita Talty wowed then judge Dáithí Ó Sé with a rendition of The Jumbo Breakfast Roll, hearts have been all a flutter in Tralee.

And it has nothing to do with the rumours of breakfast roll diets significantly increasing the risk of heart attacks.

Long-time festival sponsor the Carlton Hotel is asking loved-up couples like Dáithí and Rita to tell their stories via Facebook of how their eyes met across a crowded Rose of Tralee event.
