Jerry Flannery marries longtime love Katy May Barwell in destination wedding

Irish rugby star Jerry Flannery has married his long-term partner Katy May Barwell in a gorgeous ceremony, surrounded by their closest loved ones.

RSVP Live report that the couple, who have been together for a number of years, tied the knot in an outdoor ceremony in an amazing destination wedding in Girona, Spain.

The celebrated ex Ireland and Munster hooker and his beautiful wife were tagged in a number of photos by Kate Mary's sister Meg Barwell. The snapshots showcased the incredible day that was had, and revealed the location to be Castell d'Empordà, in Spain.

Jerry also shared the exciting news via Instagram, uploading a sweet photograph of the couple kissing with the date of the wedding.

He simply captioned it: "22.07.22"

Katy May looked so beautiful on the big day, going for a glamorous but bohemian aesthetic for her wedding look.

She wore an incredible princess style ball gown wedding dress with the full tulle skirt, topped with a lace corset bodice with off the shoulder sleeves.

She completed her wedding outfit with a hippy-chic chandelier style headpiece, that trailed delicate golden chains across her forehead and through her hair, which was worn in loose bouncy waves.

She carried a fresh green bouquet down the aisle, complete with a spray of eucalyptus leaves, and was walked down the aisle by her mum Ali.

Jerry meanwhile looked dapper in a light grey jacket, white shirt and navy trousers, a departure from a traditional tuxedo for the elegant outdoor event.

Congratulations and well wishes have been pouring in for the couple since Jerry - who owns Flannery’s Bar in Limerick City and now works as a lineout and defence coach with English Premier League Rugby side Harlequins - posted.

"Beautiful! So happy for you all. We look forward to toasting you back home," wrote Rosie Nixon.

"Congrats to you both," penned the Munster Rugby team collectively.

The couple have three young boys - Eli, Ezra and Rua, with Katy May giving birth to their third son in January 2022.
