Derry Girls' Saoirse-Monica Jackson pays homage to her roots in Irish wedding
Derry Girls star Saoirse-Monica Jackson and her DJ fiance celebrated their Celtic heritage as they married in a three-day celebration in Ireland. The 31-year-old, who plays schoolgirl Erin Quinn in the hit comedy, wore a cream dress with puff sleeves as she wed Hector Barbour, known as Denis Sulta, just outside of Kenmare in Co Kerry, according to British Vogue. Advertisement Derry Girls co-star Jamie-Lee O'Donnell wore a long green Rat & Boa dress and attended as one of the bridesmaids while Jackson was walked down the aisle by her father to a cover of the TV show's theme song Dreams by The Cranberries. Speaking to Vogue, Jackson said of the celebrations: 'Everybody said that the whole weekend was like something from a movie, and it really was. 'I want to do it again.' Jackson's dress transformed for the evening, which included shortening the skirt and reversing the corset to reveal a tartan side. Advertisement There were nods to the bride's mother and mother-in-law's wedding dresses featured in the design of Jackson's custom Annie's Ibiza dress, she told the publication. Barbour proposed with a custom ring during a trip to a beach in Donegal while the pair were wearing Dryrobes and Crocs, their pair told Vogue. Jackson said Barbour had written down everything he said during the proposal which she enjoyed being able to read back. The couple originally thought they would get married abroad in order to have an outdoor celebration but settled on Ireland in order to pay tribute to their shared Celtic heritage, they told Vogue.

In a post on Instagram with photos from the celebrations, Jackson wrote 'to infinity and beyond' and included a video of the pair embracing, with her husband lifting her up on the dancefloor. In another post featuring videos from the day, she wrote 'to all our loved ones, you are everything'. One of the clips shows Jackson posing in her wedding dress joking 'she's a shy bride, a very shy bride' and later asking 'When's the kissing?'

However, some fans disagreed with spreading ashes at the show, as one said: "If it was on grass I'd understand but this don't sit right with me". And another said: "all to get brushed or washed away [thumbs up emoji]. Would of made sense if it actually went onto the grass, so it got into the soul". Oasis played three sold-out shows Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12. An estimated 70,000 people were packed in to hear them play each night. During the first gig, Liam Gallagher hit out at Edinburgh Council chiefs after they were accused of suggesting the band's fans are "drunk, middle-aged and fat". The first gig saw three people arrested for a variety of offences, including assault, drug offences and abusive behaviour. The National also reported on an Oasis fan who travelled from Italy to Scotland, who died just hours before he was due to see the band perform.
