Planning a wedding is no easy task but what better way to get inspiration than with a dream trip and for Kilkenny's Grace Walsh and Wexford hurler Jack O' Connor, that is exactly what they did.
The couple announced their engagement last September when Jack took Grace on a hike up Killiney Hill and got down on one knee.
Kicking off 2025 in the sun, Grace and Jack headed to Australia to visit friends and some of the most beautiful places in the world.
The first stop for the pair was Sydney. The couple visited all the famous tourist spots including Bondi Beach and the Sydney Opera House.
While the rain poured down here at home, Grace and Jack soaked up the sun by sunbathing at Bondi and Coogee beach.
And as many people do when visiting Sydney, the pair headed to one of the most recognisable spots around the world.
To the locals, it is called Palm Beach but to those who watch Home and Away, it is the one and only Summer Bay.
Heading up to Byron Bay, Grace and Jack decided to bite the bullet and try a skydive- something that is not for the faint-hearted. Once you step on that plane there is no turning back!
While 10,000 feet in the air, the Kilkenny player showed how she was feeling when she jumped - a photo that will always remind her of her jump!
Before heading back to Ireland they checked out Brisbane, Noosa, and Fraser Island... what a trip!
After a holiday this jam-packed, we can't wait to see where they head on their honeymoon!
