Munster rugby star Tadhg Beirne tied the knot with his long-time love Harriet Fuller in a fairytale wedding over the weekend in Co Kildare.
Rugby ace Tadhg proposed to Welsh native Harriet back in 2020 at the lavish Adare Manor Hotel after they dated for over two years. The happy couple said 'I do' at Kilkea Castle in Kildare at the weekend, and they were joined by their closest friends and family for the occasion, including Tadhg’s parents Gerry and Brenda, and his three sisters Jennifer, Alannah, and Caoimhe.
The dream wedding saw a troupe of Irish dancers taking over the dance floor for a surprise performance before the happy couple and their guests had a dance themselves. Kildare native Tadhg took to Instagram on Sunday to share some photos from the big day, including a closer look at his new wife’s beautiful white gown.

Harriet wowed in an off-the-shoulder gown with a long train which embraced a combination of timeless glamour and chic sophistication. She wore her golden tresses in a sleek updo and also wore delicate pearl drop earrings.
Tadhg opted for a traditional black tux. Among the guests were Ireland and Munster rugby stars Conor Murray and his fiancee Joanna Cooper, Peter O’Mahony and his wife Jessica, and Keith Earls and his wife Edel.
Tadhg and Harriet, who reside in Limerick first met in Cardiff in 2018, when Tadhg had been playing for Welsh side Scarlets. Many of Tadhg's rugby friends and teammates congratulated the newlyweds on their big day. Josh Van der Flier, who wed his fiancée Sophie de Patoul last week, said: “Congrats guys.” Finlay Bealham added: “Congratulations guys.”
In 2018 Tadhg joined Munster from Scarlets after winning a PRO12 title with the Welsh side in 2017. He has signed an IRFU contract which will see him play his rugby in Ireland until at least July 2025, and last month he played a key role in Ireland's historic Test series win in New Zealand.
