AN IRISH bride who sent an invite to President Michael D Higgins for her upcoming wedding got the loveliest response from the Head of State.
Down-to-earth President Higgins, who has previously been praised for queuing for his money and taking selfies, took the time to respond to bride Katie Makk's invite.
Posting on Twitter, Dubliner Katie said: "So for the craic I sent an invite to my wedding to @PresidentIRL – today I received this in the post. Good auld Michael D!"
In a letter, sent on his behalf, it says:
"Dear Katie and Alan,
"President Higgins has asked me to thank you most sincerely for your kind invitation to attend at the celebration of your wedding.
"Your thoughtfulness in extending the invitation is very much appreciated but the President regrets that, due to the extent of his commitments, it is not possible for him to accept.
"The President would like to wish you both every happiness for the future."
