While celebrations began last Friday, it was not until Saturday August 9, that Saoirse-Monica walked down the aisle wearing s custom-made Annie’s Ibiza wedding dress, complete with puff sleeves, a long train, but short front.
The Sun reports that Jackson walked down the aisle with her father to the song Dreams by iconic Irish rock band The Cranberries.
Fellow Derry Girls star Jamie-Lee O’Donnell, who played Michelle Mallon, not only attended the wedding but served as a bridesmaid for her former co-star’s nuptials.
Saoirse-Monica, a native of Derry, and Barbour, a native of Scotland, have expressed that they decided to get married in Ireland as an homage to their “shared Celtic heritage.”
Speaking to British Vogue, Jackson joked that: “Once we’d decided to do it at home, we started praying to our grannies, aunties, the saints and Sinéad O’Connor for nice weather.”
The three-day festivities had unique Irish charm, hosting an array of Irish vendors, Guinness on tap and music played by Irish trad group BIIRD and Irish singer Lisa Canny.
Jackson said that the style influence was “Celtic Warrior Princess”, explaining to British Vogue: “We wanted both of our cultures and our families and friends to be at the centre of it.”
