McKay chose the unusual wedding vehicle as a tribute to her rural family’s background, she said.The pair tied the knot at the church in their hometown of Carnlough, County Antrim, in Northern Ireland.
She added, “We arrived safely without any hiccups or rain and had a beautiful service with our friends and family.”
McKay said she grew up on a farm and wanted to include her heritage in the ceremony.
The newly married couple had a Range Rover on standby in case the tractor broke down.
She added, “We had a Range Rover on hand that was going to take me to the chapel, but thankfully the rain cleared, We honestly could not have asked for a better wedding and our hearts are so full.” Her husband said, “It was the perfect entry because anyone who knows Kathryn knows she’s farming mad”
