Dervla Burke from Crystal Swing has married her long-term boyfriend, Tim O'Connor.
The 23-year-old Cork singer married O'Connor at St John the Baptist in Lisgoold, Co. Cork followed by a reception at the Midleton Park Hotel. The ceremony was filmed for a TV show, but the couple remained tight-lipped about when it will be aired.
Dervla recently said: "“I can’t give away too much information, I can’t, but yes the wedding is being filmed, that’s all I can say, I’m not going saying what’s happening but it’s a very exciting project and the whole wedding has a very exciting theme to it.”
According to reports, her brother Derek entertained guests with a sing-song in the family's back garden before they headed to the church.
The bride opted for an elegant ruched-style gown with diamantè detailing on the waist. The bridesmaids wore short, champagne coloured dresses. Mother-of-the-bride Mary also chose a champagne coloured dress with sequin detail.
Attendees included showbiz writer Noel Cunningham and several well-know faces from the country music world.

Dervla recently told RTÉ 2fm's Dave Fanning that she was the one asked Tim out via Facebook. She added: “We do click. I do think we’re meant to be together and we make each other happy so it’s all good.”
They couple got engaged back in November, when Tim got down on one knee and popped the question at luxurious Ashford Castle in Co. Mayo on their third anniversary.
“He got down on one knee and he went to all lengths to make it as special as possible. It was an amazing moment.”
