Bride fulfils her dream by cruising to her wedding in a tractor

Dreams do come true.

The traditional luxury wedding car just wasn't going to cut if for this Irish bride.

As Aisling Graham (formerly 'McCarey') was getting her hair done on the morning of her wedding she heard a comforting and familiar sound rumbling up the street.

"As I was putting my dress on, I heard the tractors coming up the lane," Graham said. "So the dress went on pretty quick so I could go out to see the tractors... The owner had them shined and put ribbons on all of them."

For some, a bride in a tractor may be a peculiar sight to see, but for Aisling it's been the plan all along.

"I am from a farming background and I've been driving a tractor sincesil I was about 8," she said. "I love the whole silage season and I love driving a tractor. So I said if was ever to get married, I'd be taking a tractor to my wedding."

Aisling recalls how she and her father travelled to the wedding venue in a beautiful red Massey Ferguson. "I got behind the wheel to take my daddy to my wedding, which was a proud moment for me."

Her husband Mark wasn't going to be left out of the party. He and his groomsmen drove up to the wedding in a line of mighty lorries.

"Mark drives a lorry for (a haulage company) and it was his life long dream to drive a lorry," Graham explained. "He's a bit like myself. The lorries are a part of his life and tractors are a part of mine."

Graham told Mashable she normally hates being the centre of attention, but since their wedding story went viral, the couple have been making the most it.

This was clearly a dream wedding are the joint appreciation of the roar of an engine no doubt makes them a match made in automobile heaven.
