Perfect match: Paul O’Connell has tied the knot with his new wife Emily O’Leary in France.
The Munster man was all smiles as he walked down the aisle in a wedding ceremony that was packed by his fellow rugby entourage.
His wife Emily, who was wearing a stunning gown with Chantilly lace, was greeted into the church with a round of applause.
The happy couple’s son Paddy, clutched his toy rabbit as he walked up the aisle just in front of his mother. Emily’s flower girl was Paul’s niece, Julie O’Connell, who wore pink.
