Longford senior footballer, Ryan Moffett, and his fiancée - marketing manager and influencer - Hayley Doherty from Legan, officially celebrated their engagement last weekend.

It's been a very memorable few months for the happy couple with a number of notable milestones reached. 

In October, Killoe man Ryan - a chemical engineer by profession - celebrated a championship victory with his club Emmet Óg, winning the Longford Senior Football Championship for the 15th time. 

A fortnight afterwards, he and Hayley collected the keys to their first house. 

The celebrations didn't stop there either as shortly after the move, on October 24, Ryan surprised Hayley with a trip to Adare Manor where he followed with the even bigger surprise of a marriage proposal in the stunning surrounds of Limerick's iconic neo-Gothic castle. 

Last Saturday night, almost one month to the day of the proposal, the couple brought together their family and close friends in The Old Forge in Killoe to celebrate their exciting news.  

Speaking to the Longford Leader, the beautiful bride-to-be revealed she and Ryan have already set a date for their nuptials.   

"In terms of wedding plans, we have our date & venue set for May 22nd 2027, a spring wedding! We're currently soaking up the engagement bubble at the moment and we had such a brilliant night of celebrations."   

Well-known names such as talent agent and fashion stylist, Mandy Maher, and model Mary Lee were also in attendance at the party.  

For the occasion, Hayley wore a beautiful white dress - aptly named the Espousal dress - from the label, Elliatt. 

The romantic decor features and table settings for the occasion were created and styled by the newly-launched luxury events company, Linden Events. 

A Longford glam team created Hayley's stunning look for the night, with her makeup by Killoe-based makeup artist Kelly O'Dowd, and her upstyle by the Dublin Street based hair salon, The Celtic Goddess.

Hayley's tan was from the Irish brand, Beauti Edit.
