The end of the exams in Griffith College Dublin brought great excitement to everyone in the college, but for two Business Faculty students studying for a BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance there was even more to celebrate.

Qingyu Zhang (aka Paul Zhang) and Wei Cui (aka Linda Cui) announced their engagement; this wonderful couple got engaged directly after their last exam.

According to the programme leader of the BA (Hons) in Accounting and Finance Ms. Madeleine Ford "these two lovebirds were almost glued together during the last three years of their finance and accounting course, you never seen one without the other".

The Business Faculty staff and all their business studies colleagues rejoice in their happiness and wish them many happy years to come.
