Emer, who Tony met when he was just 19 years old, died following a cancer battle during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking to the Irish Independent following the nuptials, Dr Holohan said his wedding to Ciara was 'beautiful from start to finish.'
The couple were surrounded by their nearest and dearest, with the doctor's son, Ronan, standing as best man as they tied the knot at the National Maritime Museum in Dun Laoghaoire.
The bride went for a non-traditional floral skirt which went just past the knees while the groom went for a navy suit and tie combination.
Dr Holohan also told the publication that he and his new wife were heading to France 'for a few weeks of rest and time together.'
In October 2023, Dr Holohan opened up on his blossoming relationship with Ciara as he spoke on an episode of The Meaning of Life which aired on RTÉ One.
'I have met somebody new,' he revealed, 'I have a new partner for the last number of months in my life, which is wonderful.'
Asked if he was nervous about the new relationship, he admitted it was a 'significant thing to find the basis for moving on' but Ciara had made it easier.
He added that meeting another family for just the second time in his life was 'kind of strange and lovely all at the same time.'
