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.
Barbour, who is Scottish, wore a kilt and feathered hat for the ceremony, along with his groomsmen.
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'.

Lil Yachty apologizes to Stephen Jackson over George Floyd lyric

"Put my knee up on her neck, I went George Floyd," Yachty rapped on the song, per Billboard. Jackson condemned the "One Night" rapper in a now-deleted Instagram post, calling the lyric "demeaning" and writing, "Don't ever say his name, bro. None of y'all knew G. Nothing about him." The San Antonio Spurs alum has long been open about the loss of his friend Floyd, revealing in 2020 that the pair grew up in the same Houston, Texas neighborhood. USA TODAY has reached out to Lil Yachty's representatives for comment. Jackson says Yachty apologized for distasteful lyric In an Aug. 14 Instagram story, the "All the Smoke" podcast host later revealed that he is no longer upset with Yachty after the musician reached out and apologized. "I took my post down about Yachty because I'm emotional about George. I apologized to him. We spoke and he apologized as well," Jackson said. "I salute him. Not a lot of people like to own up to when they [expletive] up." Jackson added that he agreed a public apology was unnecessary after the two worked things out, and as Yachty understands the frustration caused by the lyrics. He added that he never had an issue with Yachty directly, but rather the idea of it being okay for people to demean the dead. He later added in an Aug. 15 Instagram post that he won't be discussing the situation in interviews, adding that "he's a smart young man" and "We move on from it."

Princess Andre, 18, stuns in a white bikini on a yacht in Ibiza as mum Katie brands her 'my little stunner' after Peter's bombshell claims about ex-wife's 'baseless lies'

Princess Andre stunned in a white bikini as she shared a series of fun-filled snaps to her Instagram on Friday - amid her parents' ongoing feud. The rising star, 18, posted images from her Ibiza getaway, which were taken while filming her ITV show The Princess Diaries. In one snap, she wore a crocheted crop top paired with her white bikini bottoms as she posed on the deck of a yacht. After going for a swim with her brother Junior, 20, she was seen in another photo pulling herself out of the sea to climb back on board. Referencing a scene, which aired in the third episode of her docuseries, Princess captioned the snaps: 'Apparently fish love me… for all the wrong reasons. If you know, you know.' She was referencing a moment in the show when she panicked at the thought of jellyfish in the water. Her mum Katie approved of the snaps, commenting: 'My little stunner.' It comes just hours after Princess broke her silence on Peter and Katie's feud after her father shared a bombshell statement in which he accused Katie of peddling 'baseless lies' over the last 16 years. The influencer previously opened up about the impact of her parents' tumultuous divorce in her new ITV2 reality series, sharing she felt she couldn't 'go to her dad' after he split from Katie due to their dislike of one another. Now, with Peter issuing a blistering statement about his ex wife, Princess has insisted that their fallout 'doesn't affect' her. Taking to Snapchat on Friday, Princess took part in a fan Q&A where she was asked: 'Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?' Princess responded: 'To be honest it doesn't affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don't even have any memory of them being together' Over the top of the clip, Princess wrote: 'I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters.' On Thursday, Katie, 47, urged Peter to take part in peace talks - claiming Princess has been 'unfairly' dragged into their feud after there were rumours of a family rift because she didn't appear in Princess' show. Her mum Katie approved of the snaps, commenting: 'My little stunner' Hours later, Peter shared his side of the story, explaining: 'For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. 'The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to se the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. 'In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.' He continued: 'In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. 'Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.' A spokesperson for Katie told Daily Mail: 'Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation. 'This was in the past and she doesn't feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she's dealing with this the right way and it's now in her lawyers hands. 'Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.' That same night, tensions escalated as Peter's manager shared an ominous post about feeling 'dangerously angry'. Claire Powell, the founder of The Can Group management agency, previously managed both Katie and Peter, arranging for the couple to make a big money reality show and helping to make them millions. When the couple split, Claire parted ways with Katie but continued to work alongside Peter - now also managing their children Princess and Junior as well as his new wife Emily. Three hours after Peter's bombshell statement was released, Claire took to Instagram to share a post of her own that read: 'The most dangerous anger comes from someone with a good heart. 'They hold it in, stay calm, and forgive, until one day, they can't anymore. Don't push a good person too far.' The Instagram post was accompanied by Ruelle's song Secrets and Lies. Claire and Katie have been locked in a feud for years - with Katie recently bringing it to light again when she claimed that Can management had banned her from appearing on Princess' new reality series. Katie previously filed legal documents against Peter, Claire and their former representatives. She claimed at the time they were responsible for a smear campaign against her. The glamour model also blamed Claire for the breakdown of her marriage in 2009, claiming Peter was 'married to two women' and had an affair with Claire during their relationship. She had to publicly apologise to both Peter and Claire after she was taken to court and lost the case. Earlier in the day, Katie called on Peter to sit down with her and 'squash their beef' for the sake of their family. Speaking on the latest on the latest episode of her Katie Price Show podcast, Katie - who is currently recovering from more facial surgery - shared: 'There's no reason why both parents just can't be there to support her.' She continued: 'Now this isn't about me. I have to clarify this. I don't care that I'm not in Princess's show. 'I don't need to raise my profile by being on Princess's show, I do enough stuff. 'All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it's the same with Junior, I don't care if I'm in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that's what I did. 'And my mom and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I'm proud of her. And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I've missed out on so much.' Katie went on: 'It's so not fair to bring Princess piggy in the middle. 'So I think it's about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it. 'Life would be more at peace because I don't have a problem. I just think life would be a better place. 'Well, I'm not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on. For the sake of the children, there's room for everyone to support your kids. Do you know what I mean? 'I'm not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families.' Elsewhere in the chat, Katie's sister Sophie urged her niece to push for Katie's inclusion on the show. Sophie mused: 'Ultimately I do think it's down to Princess to put her foot down a bit'. But Katie shot back and said Princess will be 'scared' to speak up to her management about what she really wants. She said: 'But, she'll be scared Soph. What you got to remember is when I started my career, I didn't have people like the management and all that around me. I used to get the train, go on castings, I put the graft in.' For a time, Katie and Pete were the golden couple of reality TV, with a lavish wedding and a string of big-money deals making them one of the most talked-about pairs in Britain. But things turned sour between the pair when their marriage came to an end in 2009 after four years together, with Katie claiming it was Peter's decision to walk away from the relationship. Much of the nation has witnessed the fall-out of the end Katie and Peter's marriage, and the string of public swipes that have been thrown from both sides. Princess opened up about the impact of her parents' tumultuous divorce in her new ITV2 reality series The Princess Diaries, sharing she felt she couldn't 'go to her dad' after he split from Katie due to their dislike of one another. She revealed on the show how she has a counsellor and previously 'couldn't just go to my dad' due to her parents 'not liking each other'. In recent weeks, Katie had been speaking out after being banned from taking part in Princess' TV show, which is made by Can Associates, with the former glamour model making not-so-subtle digs. Rumours of a 'rift' between Katie and Princess have been growing in recent weeks after Katie didn't attend Princess' 18th birthday party, or appear on the nepo baby 's fly-on-the-wall ITV television series Katie blasted 'people who used to look after me', believed to be referring to Peter's management company, on a recent episode of her Katie Price Show podcast. She went on a rant about the awkward snub from Princess' 18th birthday party with her sister Sophie as she cryptically blamed 'certain people'. Katie said: 'Princess is now officially an adult so mummy and Princess can now go out together. If certain people would let her be seen with me.' Sophie said: 'I noticed in her 18th birthday pictures she was wearing the shoes you bought her for Christmas ,' with Katie replying: 'Oh did she? I love that.' Katie added: 'Everyone knows she's doing this documentary - and I'm not in it. Certain people don't think it's good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.' Her sister said: 'You aren't on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that's why. While Katie added: 'It's pathetic. I'm her mother. It's so sad. When certain people who used to look after me are now looking after...' Her sister Sophie then urged Katie to 'save it for another day'.
