On May 3rd, 1916, Grace Gifford walked into a jewelry store in Dublin. Her eyes were red & she had obviously been crying. She bought her own wedding ring & left with it in hand, on her way to Kilmainham Gaol to marry Joseph Plunkett, the love of her life. She knew that her family didn’t approve & that she’d be a widow just a few hours after the wedding but she chose to marry him anyway. The executions of the leaders of the Easter Rising had already begun. Patrick Pearse, Tom Clarke, & Thomas MacDonagh were already dead for their roles in the Easter Rising & her beloved would soon join them.
