Watch: Letterkenny man sweeps wife off her feet with dream car
A Letterkenny man has swept his wife off her feet once again on their 40th anniversary by surprising her with her dream car.
Cathal and Bernie Herron are set to celebrate the milestone anniversary next month.
Also known as the Ruby Anniversary, the traditional gift is rubies, which symbolize passion, loyalty and devotion, according to The Knot. A Letterkenny man has swept his wife off her feet once again on their 40th anniversary as he surprised her with her dream car. Pic: TikTok
Donegal Daily reported that Bernie recently celebrated her birthday, and celebrations included seeing Pitbull in Dublin and a family dinner the next day at Oasis.
As the family headed inside Letterkenny Shopping Centre, where Oasis is situated, they came across the Citroën 2CV, which ended production in 1990.
Unaware, that the iconic car was hers, Bernie went over to the white motor to get a photograph, with her daughter Niamhín capturing the moment she learned it was hers. @niamhin_h Dad surprising Mum with her dream car for their 40th (Ruby) wedding anniversary ❤️ Cuties 🥰🥹 . . . #irishtiktok #irishparents #wedding #weddinganniversary #weddinganniversarygift #surprise #fyp #car #vintage #vintagecar #vintagecars #citroen #citroen2cv #couplegoals #ireland #irelandtiktok #cute #letterkenny #donegal #roadtrip #irishroadtrip #parents #love #foryoupage ♬ The Winner Is… Version – DeVotchKa
