Darragh & Dani
Dani was born and raised in Orăștie, a small historic town nestled in the foothills of the Carpathian Mountains in Transylvania. Growing up surrounded by ancient fortress walls, rolling green hills, and the warmth of a close-knit community, Orăștie shaped who she is.
It is a place full of history, beauty, and meaning — and it has always felt like home.
When Darragh first visited Romania, he saw it through Dani's eyes — the landscapes, the food, the people, the stories. What started as curiosity quickly became a deep love for a country that felt unlike anywhere else.
Romania has a way of surprising you. The scenery is extraordinary, the history is rich, and the hospitality is genuine and warm. Darragh didn't just fall in love with Dani — he fell in love with her country too.
Before long, Romania had become part of our family's story too. After hearing us talk so much about Orăștie and Transylvania, Darragh's parents decided they had to see it for themselves and joined us on a visit a few years ago. Watching them discover the beautiful countryside, the warm welcome and the slower pace of life reminded us why this place had become so special to us. It also made us even more excited to share it with the people we love.
This wedding is a bringing-together of two worlds — Irish and Romanian, Connacht and Transylvania, pints and țuică. Two families who, despite the miles between them, have so much in common: warmth, laughter, good food, and a great love of a celebration.
We are so grateful that you are making the journey to be with us. It means everything.
