Gesture will help keep charity afloat

A bride and groom who took the plunge yesterday interrupted their wedding day to make a special donation to the RNLI.

Fisherman Kieran Geasley, 29, from Cobh, Co Cork, and his new wife, Patricia Lenihan, 28, from Carrigaline, tied the knot before family and friends in Patricia’s local Co Cork church yesterday afternoon.

But the newlyweds, who fell in love during a regatta and who have a strong connection to the sea, stopped off at Crosshaven lifeboat station on the way to their reception in Ballincollig’s Oriel House Hotel to make a special delivery.
