Tipperary Rose Aisling O'Donovan with her boyfriend Colm Barry who proposed to her while the couple were on holidays in Venice
An exciting and busy build-up to the Rose of Tralee Festival for Tipperary Rose Aisling O’Donovan became even more hectic as she was engaged while on holiday in Italy.
Aisling was on holiday with boyfriend Colm Barry in romantic Venice when the proposal arrived.
“It was unexpected. We had the holiday in Italy planned for some time and the proposal came as a total surprise to me really. He surprised me, I didn’t see it coming,” said Aisling.
