Taking to Twitter, parish priest Fr Patsy Lynch shared the good news as he posted a sweet snap of the Game Of Thrones star and his bride, UK-based actress and comedian Roisin O'Mahony.

He said: "Very simple, prayerful and dignified marriage ceremony for Film Celebrity Jason Gleeson and Roisin: The Glen Church."

While his bride looked incredible in an A-line pastel-toned dress with capped sleeves.

The pair appeared delighted as they celebrated their nuptials, opting for beautifully effortless and relaxed looks as they posed for pictures with the priest and other family members.

Fr Lynch told Independent.ie that the mass was a pre wedding ceremony ahead of a second occasion in England, which is due to take place in the coming weeks.

He said: "It's a pre wedding ceremony, the real ceremony will take place over in England, but the family have been holidaying down here in Ballinskelligs, The Glen, for many years and they have so many happy memories here.

"We had a lovely, prayerful, dignified wedding ceremony. Jack text me this morning to say that it was such a wonderful, moving ceremony and afterwards they went for a meal."

The 30-year-old actor was born in Cork but grew up in Ranelagh in Dublin before going to school at Gonzaga College.

He studied philosophy and theology at Trinity College Dublin and was made a scholar at the university in 2012.

Jack took a break from the screen while at college and was a member of Trinity's DU Players, appearing in a number of stage shows, including at the Kilkenny Cat Laughs festival.

He will appear in Netflix's upcoming movie thriller In the Land of Saints and Sinners .

The movie was filmed in Co Donegal and boasts an all-star cast including Liam Neeson, Ciarán Hinds, Colm Meaney and Kerry Condon.

The Land of Saints and Sinners is set in a remote Irish village, where a newly retired assassin finds himself drawn into a lethal game of cat and mouse with a trio of vengeful terrorists.
