Leinster rugby star Josh van der Flier married his long-term girlfriend in a fairytale wedding last week.
Josh proposed to Sophie De Patoul in July 2021 after they dated for two and a half years. The 29-year-old, who also plays for Ireland, took to Instagram to share a beautiful photo of his marriage. He captioned the post: “11-8-22”
The pair are walking down the aisle in the first photo and they are outside the castle in front of a vintage car in the second. They celebrated their big day on Thursday, August 11 at Luttrellstown Castle in Dublin. His fellow rugby players took to the comment section to wish the newly married couple the best of luck.
