It's been quite a week for Glentoran defender Luke McCullough.
The big centre-back scored in the Glens 5-0 European Play-off semi-final win over Glenavon, got married on Thursday and then helped the Ovalmen secure their place in the Europa Conference League qualifiers as they ran out 2-0 winners over Cliftonville in Saturday's final!
McCullough is now enjoying a well-earned break as he heads off on honeymoon.

"It's been a lively few days now, I'm emotionally drained," he told Glens TV.
"We're going away on our honeymoon so we can relax then and have some down time."
This season's play-offs have certainly been a more pleasurable experience for the 29-year-old than this time last year.
He was forced to watch on from the sidelines as the Glens threw away a two-goal lead against Larne as he recovered from a serious knee injury.
McCullough said it "couldn't have gone any better" as he finished his comeback season on a high.
"It's brilliant and makes it all worthwhile," he said.
"When you're going through the hard times of a long-term injury you're on your own a lot because you're doing your rehab, you don't feel part of the squad.
"Now that I've come back it makes it all worthwhile.
"I've played more than I thought I was probably going to play, I'm delighted it couldn't have gone any better.
"It's probably not the way you want to do it through the play-offs, but once you get there you have to go on and win it.
"I'm absolutely delighted to get it done, we can enjoy ourselves now before we get back to it for Europe."
