  • Thosaigh an turas ar maidin shocair agus geal.

    The journey started on a calm and bright morning.

  • Bhí Aoife agus Conor ag tiomáint trí Bhealach an Chiarraí, an carr líonta leis an ngaineamh, na málaí agus an neart tae is caife.

    Aoife and Conor were driving through the Kerry Way, the car filled with sand, bags, and plenty of tea and coffee.

  • Bhí Aoife cruthaitheach agus ceanndánach, ach bhí cúpla imní aici.

    Aoife was creative and headstrong, but she had a few worries.

  • Bhí sí ag smaoineamh ar an mbrú a bhaineann le sean-chairde a fheiceáil ag pósadh a gcara i gCill Airne.

    She was thinking about the pressure of seeing old friends at their friend's wedding in Killarney.

  • Bhí eagla ar Aoife faoi bhreithiúnna a clainne.

    Aoife was afraid of her family's judgments.

  • Bhí Conor, le greann agus meidhir, ag smaoineamh ar rud éigin eile.

    Conor, with humor and cheerfulness, was thinking about something else.

  • A ghrá óna am atá thart.

    His love from the past.

  • Bhí sceitimíní air, ach thaitin ar a phian.

    He was excited, yet the thought pained him.

  • Theastaigh uaidh díreach caint a dhéanamh léi, ag iarraidh síocháin a aimsiú.

    He simply wanted to talk to her, seeking to find peace.

  • Bhí Conor neirbhíseach, mar bhí súil aige go mbeadh rud éigin maith ar fáil tríd an gcaint sin.

    Conor was nervous, hoping something good would come from that conversation.

  • Lean na bóithre cúng cois lán mara.

    The narrow roads followed the edge of the sea.

  • D'fhan siad ar an gcósta ag áit ar a dtugtar Gleann Beithe ar feadh cúpa tae agus blúirín eolais faoin sean-sráidbhaile.

    They stopped on the coast at a place called Glenbeigh for a cup of tea and a bit of information about the old village.

  • Nuair a bhí siad ag canadh síos an bóthar, decided Aoife labhairt le Conor.

    As they sang along the road, Aoife decided to talk to Conor.

  • "Tá eagla orm," a dúirt sí go tobann.

    "I'm afraid," she said suddenly.

  • "B'fhéidir nach n-aontaíonn siad liom a thuilleadh."

    "Maybe they don't agree with me anymore."

  • D'fhéach Conor uirthi le gáire bánna.

    Conor looked at her with a reassuring smile.

  • "Ná bí buartha. Táim féin mar an gcéanna.

    "Don't worry. I feel the same.

  • Beidh cara ag an bhanríon caint liom freisin.

    A friend of the queen will be talking to me too.

  • Smaoinigh orm - beidh muid ann dá chéile," a deir sé leoga.

    Think of it - we'll be there for each other," he said warmly.

  • Taobh ó thaobh, bhí Aoife agus Conor ag éirí níos muiníní as a chéile agus as an turas.

    Side by side, Aoife and Conor grew more confident in each other and in the journey.

  • Nuair a shroich siad Teamhairín Blá, bhí iontas ar Aoife agus fós-tháistill ar Conor mar a bhí an tír-raon draíochtúil os comhair a súl.

    When they reached Ballydavid, Aoife was amazed and Conor still astonished at the enchanting landscape before their eyes.

  • D'ullmhaigh siad piocóg ann faoin ngrian fómhair dheireanach.

    They settled for a picnic there under the last autumn sun.

  • Labhair Aoife faoina faitíos, agus chonaic sí é ag teacht ón taobh istigh, nach raibh eagla uirthi níos mó.

    Aoife talked about her fears, and she realized they were coming from within; she was no longer afraid.

  • Rinne Conor plean.

    Conor made a plan.

  • "Labhraím léi roimh an bpósadh," a dúirt sé go cinntitheach.

    "I'll talk to her before the wedding," he said decisively.

  • Bhí sé anois in ann bogadh ar aghaidh i síocháin.

    He was now able to move forward in peace.

  • Tháinig an lá mór.

    The big day arrived.

  • Bhí Aoife ag casadh isteach na n-amhrán, ag damhsa agus ag gáirí lena cairde.

    Aoife was joining in the songs, dancing, and laughing with her friends.

  • Chroith a neamhníthe imní go comhtháite léi.

    Her anxiety seamlessly dissolved into her.

  • Bhí fáilte mhór roimpi.

    She received a warm welcome.

  • Ag an am céanna, chas Conor lena grá a Cora uirthi agus thosaigh caint leis.

    At the same time, Conor met his former love, Cora, and started talking with her.

  • Bhí sí cairdiúil.

    She was friendly.

  • Bhí an t-aistear seo d’obair an-chumhachtach; lig sé do dhuine amháin scaoileadh suas agus do dhuine eile síocháin a aimsiú sa chaidreamh atá caite.

    This journey had powerful results; it allowed one person to let go and another to find peace in a past relationship.

  • Bhí an phósadh líonta le hamhráin, gáire agus grá.

    The wedding was filled with songs, laughter, and love.

  • Bhí Aoife agus Conor araon mar thoradh ar a n-eispéireas níos láidre.

    Both Aoife and Conor emerged stronger from their experiences.

  • Tríd an mbóthar sách fada agus an chaoi a ndearna siad é, bhí ceann eile foireann áthais don lá breá seo.

    Through the quite long road and how they navigated it, they were another source of joy for this beautiful day.
