Veregene and Brian traveled from America to elope on the Irish coastline in front of the magical Dunluce Castle. Their ceremony was held in a local farmer’s field with amazing views. Veregene was even taken to the ceremony and back on the farmer’s tractor! Now that’s a good way to travel in the countryside. As avid Game of Thrones fans they were able to journey around Northern Ireland’s famous Game of Thrones locations and take photos in front of stunning locations such as the Dark Hedges aka The Road to Kings Landing. It’s a dream location for any GoT fan.
