Several Leinster rugby stars were dressed to impress this weekend as they helped Will Connors and his wife Sarah Clarke kick off married life in style.
Will, who has recently left Leinster for Connacht, and Sarah announced their engagement in April 2025 and looked every inch the happy newlyweds in photos from their big day.
Sarah wore a gorgeous strapless gown for her big day, which had a structured corset top and full skirt. She added a veil to complete her bridal look.

The couple picked Kilshane House in Co Tipperary to host their nuptials, with photos showing them making the most of the venue’s outside space and strolling through the grounds while the sun shone.
As for their guests, Sarah and Will were joined by several familiar faces, including James Lowe and his wife Arni, who are gearing up for a big life change of their own.
Just like the groom, James’ time at Leinster recently came to an end, and he’s now preparing to move with his family to Japan.

James looked smart in a black tux at his former teammate’s wedding while Arni was gorgeous in a navy blue floor-length dress with ruching across the front.
Andrew Porter and his wife Elaine were also among the guests, with Elaine opting for a fabulous red dress with ruffled sleeves and a floral pattern across the material.

Another guest going for a bright colour on the big day was Charlotte Murphy, who is in a relationship with Ciaran Frawley.
Charlotte’s orange dress was perfect for the sunny July day, and she accessorised with a gold clutch bag and dangling earrings.

Sharing the first professional snap from his wedding, Will said there wasn’t ‘a dry eye’ in the place when he and Sarah said I Do.

Not much is known about Sarah, who works as a fashion buyer for Penneys, and Will’s relationship as they’re pretty private online.
Ahead of their wedding, Sarah was treated to a ‘last rodeo’ themed hen in Kerry by her girl gang.
A huge congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs from us all at EVOKE!
