Country music star Cliona Hagan ties knot with fellow musician Simon Sheerin in Westmeath church wedding

Cliona Hagan tied the knot with her fiancé Simon Sheerin in an intimate church wedding in Westmeath yesterday.

The Irish country singer from Tyrone got engaged to fellow musician Simon in December 2020.

And on Wednesday, the 33-year-old walked down the aisle in a bespoke wedding dress from Irish designer Geraldine O’Meara, RSVP Live reports.

Her stunning white dress featured a sweetheart neckline, thin straps and “Pippa Middleton style buttons running into a long trail.”

The groom wore a unique look with a black shirt, tie and jacket from GUY Clothing in Tullamore and opted for jeans rather suit trousers for the special day.

After the ceremony, the newlyweds popped a bottle of champagne outside the church and the celebrations continued in the five-star Kilronan Castle in Roscommon along with friends and family.

There were some well-known celebrities in attendance as guests including Saturday's singer Una Healy as well as many other country music stars.

Una enthusiastically shared some pictures on Instagram, as she revealed she had brought her mother Anne as her plus one and donned a bright orange dress for the occasion.

Ahead of their wedding, Cliona and Simon told RSVP Magazine that they were looking forward to the big day in order to spend time with their family and friends.

Cliona said: "Everybody says that the day goes really fast, so we’re going to make it an awesome day to remember."

Simon added: "People ask us that quite a bit, and I have to say I’m looking forward to the whole thing.

"I won’t be nervous on the day. I think proposing is a lot more nerve wracking than getting married."

Simon and Cliona met in 2016 when he was the musical director of her band. At first, their relationship was completely platonic but later blossomed into a romance.

The Tyrone stunner became a household name after appearing on hit RTE show Dancing With The Stars in 2019 where she finished runner-up with dance partner Robert Rowinski.

Cliona was also a contestant on the first series of The All Ireland Talent Show back in 2009 and made it all the way to the final after being mentored by Eurovision winner Dana.
