Dramatic clifftop rescue of bride and groom-to-be

A couple engaged on Achill Island had to be rescued by the Irish Coast Guard after being trapped by rising tides against a cliff. The rescue involved climbers abseiling down to save them due to dangerous weather conditions that prevented boat or helicopter access. The couple was taken to safety after experiencing hypothermia and later treated by paramedics. The Coast Guard emphasized the dangers of walking near coastal cliffs in severe weather. The operation lasted over seven hours, highlighting the risks associated with such scenic locations for proposals.
