Bonnie Ryan has promised friends a "second wedding" this summer after she tied the knot on Friday.
The daughter of the late Gerry Ryan married her long-term partner John over the weekend, surprising her followers with the news.
She posted a picture on Saturday dressed in a white suit made by British designer Nadine Merabi.
She matched her bridal look with a YSL handbag and shoes by Public Desire.
For her off-white headpiece, she went for race-day favourite, Carol Kennelly and did her make-up herself.
She told her followers on Instagram that herself and her new husband were “legally married in front of just our immediate families.”
“It was the most special day. Our actual wedding will be early this summer but we feel very lucky to have had a beautiful start to the celebrations yesterday. Thank you for the lovely messages,” she said.
The newly-wed's swapped vows in the Dublin Registry office before celebrating their nuptials in the Ivy restaurant on Dawson Street.
Holding her wedding bouquet, the influencer wrote: “4.3.22.”
She updated her followers with a black and white picture at the registry office.
She wrote: "A happy weekend. Legal side. Now a few weeks until I walk down the aisle... I could burst with excitement of the love I felt this weekend was anything to go by..."
Among those wishing her well were her sisters Lottie Ryan who said it was “the happiest day for the most beautiful bride.”
Bonnie also shared a video clip of herself enjoying her first dance with her new husband, whose identity she has chosen to keep under wraps.
“I’m not waiting on a big moment to ‘reveal’ him or anything. We just keep our relationship offline” she said.
“This is the job I chose but it’s not for him, it’s the most special thing in my life and I take keeping it private very seriously.
“That’s not to say I don’t love seeing other couples and relationships but it’s just not what's right for us.”
The pair have been dating since they were teenagers and got engaged during a trip to New York in November 2019, shortly after buying their first home together.
They had been due to get married in early 2021 but were forced to postpone their wedding due to Covid restrictions.
In 2020, Bonnie had previously told us she doesn’t want her wedding day to be about missing her dad - but admitted his legendary legacy lives on in her everyday.
She told us at the time: “I just don’t want it to be a day that anybody in the family is thinking it is so sad that he isn’t here.
“I don’t want that, I just want people to be really excited and happy that it is the day I am getting married and focus on that rather than being sad.
“But in my family, we talk about him everyday and we always remember him and do things to bring him into conversation.
“And of course in some shape or form he will be in my wedding, but yeah I am just focusing on all of the exciting stuff.”
