Inside Irish footballer Stephanie Roche's wedding to longtime love and fellow footballer Dean Zambra

Irish footballer Stephanie Roche married her longtime love Dean Zambra this week.

The couple, who have been together for 15 years, wed in an intimate ceremony in front of friends and family at the Tulfarris Golf Resort in Wicklow.

Celebrity wedding photographer Jenny McCarthy, who was on board as the snapper for the day, shared stunning behind the scene photos and videos from the nuptials on Instagram.

She said: “What an incredible day yesterday. I got to spend the day with the beautiful @stephanieroche9 and her hubby @deanzambra capturing all of their very precious moments.

“Stephanie was just absolutely stunning, a vision in her dress.

“So much fun, laughter and some tears were had. Two very down to earth families, a pleasure to spend the day with them.”

“Lovely to work with my buddy Richard who documented their beautiful video.”

Sharing her excitement ahead of the long awaited day, Stephanie, who looked radiant in a lace trim gown, said: “After 15 years, tomorrow is the day I marry my best friend!”

“Excited beyond words. And after all the years where football took priority for us, it was fitting that I ended up getting a last minute recall to the Irish team, going away for two weeks and arriving home just 2 days before the wedding.”

Sharing a video montage of their 15 years together, she went on: “We’ve had so many great years, long distance for some time but always making it work, Dean has always been there through everything and I am so happy to finally marry him,” she gushed.

“Nothing could take away from how happy and excited I am to be spending tomorrow with our family and friends, see you all soon.”

Dean, who is also a footballer, proposed to Stephanie in June 2021.
