Elaine McKean and Roger Crown were the talk of the town as they travelled to their wedding at Ballylennon Presbyterian Church Co. Donegal this weekend.
The couple arrived at the church in a custom-built vehicle that was beautifully decorated and a true labour of love from Elaine’s father.
Elaine is the daughter of local farmer Joe and Elizabeth McKean of Ashlane, Porthall. She left her father in charge of getting her to the church and that he did as he enlisted the help of close friends Tony Rodgers and Vincent McGrath (pictured above) to put his unique idea in motion.
Over a few weeks, the team sandblasted and resprayed a David Brown D30 white and made a stunning carriage, much to the delight of his daughter.
Joe’s ideas have helped raise hundreds of thousands for local charities over the years and when the transport was revealed you knew Joe McKean had a part to play in it.
