Lucky Clover

Alana had never been lucky in love. But one day, on the 17th of March, St. Patrick's Day, Alana met the man of her dreams.


Declan Flynn was also looking for love and when he spotted Alana on the hill that day, he knew he'd found the one. He had to pinch himself just to make sure he wasn't dreaming. But it was all real. There she was. Long, flowing auburn coloured hair blowing in the light autumn breeze. Her long pale green dress danced in the stand as she stood still, staring out at the world beyond.


He started to approach her, and just as he bent down to pick up a 4 leaf clover he'd spotted, she did the same. They both looked up at one another. "Hi." He managed to get out. "Hi. Look you have it. I'm sure there are plenty of others here." She said kindly. Her voice sounded angelic, like tinkling bells in a light breeze. "No. Its yours. I've got plenty already." Declan objected. "How gentlemanly of you." Alana commented. Declan stood up and bowed slightly. "How about a coffee? I know a great cafe right near here." Declan suggested. He didn't want to let this girl go without her number and her name at least. If he was lucky maybe a second date.


5 years later, Declan stood at the end of a long white carpet, awaiting Alana's arrival. Finally he spotted her. She looked just as beautiful as she had the first time he'd seen her and the clover they'd both found was set right in the middle of her bridal bouquet. Just 15 minutes on, they were sealing their love with a kiss as they were pronounced man and wife. All thanks to the luck of the four life clover they had found on the luckiest day of the year, St. Patrick's Day.

Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone. Hope you had a good one.
