If you want to know why the photo has come from the Western Mail (Wales Online) ... its because the dress for the bride was made by a Welsh dressmaker.

I was dying to know where she got her dress made! LOL!

In all fairness, she did look great. Well done BO'D for landing a beauty!

/FrontpageNewsBannersandMisc/2010/BODMarriage-ORO_Blog.pngCongratulations are in order for the Leinster, Irish and British and Irish Lions All-Star, Brian O'Driscoll. On Friday, 02 July 2010 the Irish Rugby Legend married Actress Amy Huberman at St. Joseph's Church in Co. Leitrim. "THE IRISH rugby captain Brian Oââ'¬â"¢Driscoll pulled off the ultimate conversion ââ'¬â€œ from singleton to married man ââ'¬â€œ when he exchanged vows with actor/author Amy Huberman in the tiny parish of Aughavas, Co Leitrim, yesterday afternoon" (The Irish Times, Brian and Amy's Day Delights All, http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2010/0703/1224273903755.html).

All the big names in Irish Rugby were there to cheer on their mate as he entered the next phase of his life. "Among them were 6ft 6in, 17.5st Donncha Oââ'¬â"¢Callaghan, the 17.7st Lions captain Paul Oââ'¬â"¢Connell, as well as Luke Fitzgerald, Denis Hickie, Shane Horgan and Rob Kearney, who arrived with actress Susie Amy" (Wales Online, Brian O'Driscoll Wedding Witnessed by Lions Greats, http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/2010/07/03/brian-o-driscoll-wedding-witnessed-by-lions-greats-91466-26778427).

An interesting note is that the couple have rejected the modern tradition of sportsmen and celebrities and have refused to sell off their wedding photos to the tabloids: "A spokesman for Huberman told the Star: "They didn't want it, it just isn't them at all. They'll do shots outside the church and then hopefully people will recognise it's private afterwards and leave it alone" (RTÉ, Amy and Brian Will Not Sell Wedding Snaps, http://www.rte.ie/ten/2010/0616/hubermana.html).

So, from all of us here at TRF, we wish B.O'D and new Bride Amy all the best! Cheers!

Well he is the greatest Irish rugby player of all time (save perhaps Jack Kyle).

 

[Jockstap]

I take it you've never heard of a player called, ahem Jeremy Staunton. I rest my case.

I've heard Ed O'Fairhurst has an Irish grandmother. Does he count?

Dammit when are the IRFU gonna take the finger out, if only he wasn't capped by Canada, we would've been unbeatable. At least now we know where he gets his sublime skill.
