William and Gemma got engaged in November 2024 when the Limerick hurler popped the question while the couple were putting up their Christmas tree.
Since then, they have let their followers in on some of the planning, including the meal tasting for the big day and the all-important hen and stag nights.
For the night before their wedding, Gemma posted a beautiful picture of the perfect ‘Night before outfit’ gown as she celebrated her upcoming nuptials with their nearest and dearest.
Posting a few shots from the big day, the couple looked on cloud nine as they celebrated, with plenty of dancing later that night.
Captioning the album ‘Married my best friend,’ followed by a white love heart, people jumped in to wish the newlyweds congratulations.
Today FM’s Louise Cantillon, who is married to former Limerick captain Declan Hannon, wrote, ‘The best pair,’ while Limerick’s Cian Lynch’s partner Dayna Slattery said, ‘A princess.’

Gemma looked every inch the stylish bride in a breathtaking ivory gown featuring a structured corset-style bodice and full skirt.
The gown featured gathering detail through the skirt with a thigh-high split.
Gemma wore her blonde hair in loose waves and didn’t go overboard with accessories- stunning!

The celebrations took place at the five-star Cashel Palace Hotel on September 18, which is located at the foot of the Rock of Cashel in Tipperary.
Congratulations, William and Gemma!
