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.

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.

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 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?'
