Irish priest amazes wedding couple with epic personal version of Hallelujah
CHRIS AND LEAH O’Kane got married in Oldcastle, Co Meath on Saturday.
No doubt it was a happy day for everyone – but there was a surprise in store during the wedding ceremony.

He came perilously close to a standing ovation from the congregation:
Congratulations, Leah and Chris. All the best for the future!
