Special delivery seals it for postie after love on the double

Bernard McGrath, 44, brought the post to the family home of his future wife and, in a different estate on the same round in Skerries, he was given the stamp of approval by a dog who stalked him until he was forced to take him home. Bernard says he first got chatting to his wife Gráinne, 33, because she recognised him as being her family postman.

“I would not have been known in Skerries except for being the postman. I was in the pub one evening and we got chatting because she recognised me from delivering the mail to her mother’s house. We are married now and have a wonderful son Blake.”
