#RNLI - In what was a first for the RNLI Reindeer Run, there was a marriage proposal at last Sunday’s (30 November) event in Marlay Park to raise funds for Ireland's lifeboat service.
Conor Hayes, a native of Tipperary, chose the festive occasion to get down on one knee and ask girlfriend Edel Higgins from Sligo to marry him.
The couple, who met and work in Dublin, are regular runners.
"This was our first RNLI run but it definitely won't be our last," said Hayes said after a delighted Higgins said yes.
"We have no plans for the wedding yet. We are just enjoying the celebrations at the moment."
