Fishing village prepares for star wedding
A quiet fishing village in Co Donegal is preparing for an influx of fans for country singer Daniel O'Donnell's wedding.
The Irish star is set to marry fiancée Majella McLennan in his native Kincasslagh at 1pm today.
Friends, family and many of O'Donnell's neighbours have been invited to the wedding at St Mary's Church, set on the rugged coast.
The 40-year-old country and Irish singer, who has sold more than five million albums worldwide, became engaged to McLennan, 41, on Christmas Day 2000.
His bride, an Irish businesswoman, is a divorcee who had her marriage annulled last summer.
Neighbours say although the star has planned a traditional family ceremony, coaches full of fans will be descending on the area.
Villagers Noeleen Sharkey and her friend Kate say the village is used to a heavy presence of fans and the wedding day will be no exception.
"I think we will be inundated with fans," said Kate, who attended the village's Belcruit National primary school at the same time as O'Donnell.
"There are rumours that there are coach loads of them.
"Everybody here's very happy for him - good luck to him, we wish him all the best."
