Derry Girls star transforms
Saoirse-Monica walked down the aisle linking with her dad to a sweet cover of Dreams by The Cranberries - in a touching tribute to her stint on Derry Girls.
Looking every inch the glowing bride, Saoirse was joined by her co-star and bridesmaid Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, who beamed with pride as her pal said her vows.
Sulta, real name Hector Barbour, also took inspiration from his Scottish roots for his wedding day look.
The producer wore a traditional kilt with a Hebridean MacKenzie tartan, which was made by MacGregor and MacDuff.
It also had a custom-made Montrose doublet jacket, and was adorned with his father's sporran and a family brooch.

Billy Connolly speaks about Elton John's inspiration as he releases new artwork
The 82-year-old has released four new limited edition works under his Born On A Rainy Day series, via Castle Fine Art, recalling some of the fondest memories from his life. One of the pieces, named Saturday Night, shows a piano player in action, with Sir Billy saying the character in his piece 'does that leg thing which is pure Elton'. Speaking about opening for the Rocket Man singer in 1976, he added: 'It was that point of the show where he backheeled the stool and it tumbled off the stage. The roadies all dived so that it didn't break. 'I saw Elton lately and he was better than I've ever seen him. He's an amazing performer.' Sir Billy, who began drawing in 2007 and has built a name for himself as an artist since his retirement from comedy in 2018, has also released Sausage Tree, which reflects on his childhood, Sunburned, which depicts a sunburned Scottish man, and Fly Away Peter, which shows a multicoloured figure surrounded by birds. The Glasgow-born star added: 'It's taken me years to call my art beautiful, I would never dream of saying it before for the chance that somebody would say, 'it's crap, you're no good', but I'm quite good. 'I can make people smile and feel happy. It's great.' Earlier this month, Sir Billy warned fans about scammers impersonating him online, telling them he and his wife, Pamela Stephenson, had been impersonated using artificial intelligence. He said scammers had been 'impersonating me, often reaching out to fans soliciting direct messaging', adding there 'could well be criminal intent'. Sir Billy has continued to record TV programmes since his retirement, with his most recent projects including shows such as 2018's Billy Connolly: Made In Scotland, Billy Connolly's Great American Trail in 2019, and Billy Connolly Does…, which began airing in 2022. The new pieces are available from Castle Fine Art from 8am on Friday.

Stranger Things actor Millie Bobby Brown adopts ‘sweet baby girl'
The Stranger Things actor Millie Bobby Brown and her husband, Jake Bongiovi, have announced they have become parents after adopting a 'sweet baby girl'. Brown, 21, and Bongiovi, 23, said in a statement on social media that they were 'beyond excited' to enter the next chapter of their lives. Alongside a sketch of a tree, the couple wrote on Instagram on Thursday: 'This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption. We are beyond excited to embark on this beautiful next chapter of parenthood in both peace and privacy.' The post, which was accompanied by the Beatles song Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, continued: 'And then there were 3.' Brown, best known for her role as Eleven in the Netflix drama Stranger Things, and Bongiovi, a model who is the son of the musician Jon Bon Jovi, married last October after their engagement in 2023. Alongside photos from their wedding last year, Bongiovi wrote in a post at the time: 'Forever and always, your husband.' Brown has previously spoken about wanting to become a parent, adding that she wanted a large family with her husband. She mentioned the possibility of adopting. Speaking in March on the SmartLess podcast, hosted by Jason Bateman, Sean Hayes and Will Arnett, the actor said: 'Jake knows how important it is to me [to have a child].' Brown, who recently appeared alongside Chris Pratt in sci-fi film The Electric State, added: 'Of course, I want to focus on really establishing myself as an actor and as a producer, but I also find it's so important to start a family, for me, personally.' In 2023, the publication of Brown's debut novel reignited a debate over ghostwritten celebrity books. Nineteen Steps, inspired by her grandmother's experience of the 1943 Bethnal Green tube disaster, was ghostwritten by author Kathleen McGurl yet the cover of the book featured only Brown's name. In response to a subsequently deleted tweet by Waterstones promoting the book, many X users had criticised the star. Brown had posted an image on Instagram of herself holding the book standing next to McGurl, with the caption: 'I couldn't have done this without you!' Zoella (the media personality Zoë Sugg), Katie Price and Naomi Campbell are among celebrities who have also used ghostwriters for their fiction books.
