LIMERICK influencer Sinead O’Brien has celebrated her marriage to
long-term partner Simon Fitzgerald in a stunning ceremony in the
Algarve.
Wearing a gorgeous off-the-shoulder gown, the entrepreneur and her
now-husband who hails from Crecora, emerged from the church in sunny
Portugal on Wednesday afternoon hand-in-hand, with confetti heralding
their arrival at the doorway to the cheers of awaiting well-wishers.

In an Instagram post, the Patrickswell woman captioned her wedding
photos “Mr and Mrs Fitzgerald”. She also shared black and white images
of her three bridesmaids adjusting her dress on the steps, followed by
a solo photo of her and her stunning dress.
Sinead treated her 128,000 followers to a closer look at the dress in a
second post, captioned “The dress of dreams”, and tagged Dreamy Curves
Bridal, as well as the name of the wedding photographer, Andy Mac.
In a third post, the bride shared a picture of her in her gown, smiling
in the sunshine, with the heartfelt caption “My heart could burst with
the love, thank you everyone for your well wishes. I am so so so happy,
the day was everything we could of dreamed of and more”.
She later shared an Instagram reel of her in the same spot, beaming to
the camera, captioned "Golden hour".
The glamorous wedding reception took place at the Pine Cliffs Resort.
The luxury venue hosted the wedding of Munster and Ireland rugby player
Conor Murray and model Joanna Cooper in June 2023.

wedding. The attention to detail @sineadcurvystyle. Blown away”, with a
starry eyes emoji, a grey love heart, and a heart hands emoji.
The guests sat at tables named after locations, including Nancy Blakes
and Punch’s Bar, as well as more exotic locations like Perth and
Lanzarote.
The style was full glam at the event, with Chloe Walsh wowing in a
strapless black dress and matching cape, and Leanne Moore bringing a
pop of colour in a red mini dress.

McGrath wore a floor length mustard dress.
