A couple from the Midlands exchanged weddings vows over the August bank holiday weekend after the groom, garda Shane Hunter, donated a kidney to his wife, art teacher Briona Reynolds. 

Shane, 31, from Athlone, and Briona, 30, from Tubber in Co. Offaly, postponed their wedding last year due to Covid restrictions, and the impact of Briona's health struggles, which saw her having to get dialysis three times a week.
