Kathryn Thomas opens up about wedding day tears and says she's happier than she's 'felt in long time'

Kathryn Thomas has told how she's never been happier following her wedding two weeks ago.

The RTE presenter tied the knot with Padraig McLoughlin at Kilkea Castle, Co Kildare.

The 40-year-old TV star also said every time she saw her daughter Ellie, one, on her wedding day, it "set her off" - despite saying she didn't feel too emotional on the day.

She said: "I don't feel different but I feel happier than I have felt in a long time.

"I didn't shed a tear, really, well I did when I saw myself in my own dress but every time I saw Ellie in her dress, it set me off."

She mentioned how Padraig's son Conor played a starring role on their big day, by singing an acoustic version of Sweet Child O Mine by Guns N' Roses at the ceremony.

Kathryn told VIP magazine: "The surprise was Conor who actually sang us all into the garden... it was a really stripped back version and was absolutely stunning."

She found their vows funny as both of them had wrote similar messages.

She added: "The vows were funny because neither of us knew what was written but a lot of what I'd written, Padraig had too.

"Included in my vows were things like 'I promise to be less in a hurry, I promise that unlike my phone, my keys and my wallet, I'll never lose my love for you. I promise to never not appreciate every morning you pick up the guitar and play at random to myself and Ellie.'

"And so for that, Padraig had 'You're the best backing singer a man could ever ask for!"

Kathryn donned an Umit Kutluk dress for the humanist ceremony before changing into a Helen Cody creation for the evening. Cody also designed little Ellie's dress.
