Pop star Una Healy tied the knot with England rugby player Ben Foden in a ceremony at a small country church in Ireland yesterday (June 30th).

The Saturdays singer chose to get married in her hometown of Thurles and was led down the aisle by bandmates Mollie King, Rochelle Wiseman, Vanessa White and Frankie Sandford, who were all bridesmaids for the big day.

Despite the rain, fans gathered outside the church in Tipperary to catch a glimpse of the happy couple but their view was obstructed by large golf umbrellas used to shield the pair from photographers. The bride and groom had signed an exclusive deal with a magazine for their wedding photos.

Una's four bridesmaids, who all wore full-length lilac dresses and carried bouquets of white flowers, were not the only celebrities to attend the ceremony as boy band JLS were among the guests.

Marvin Humes, a singer with the pop group, was spotted accompanying fiancee Rochelle to the event in a stylish grey suit.

Una and Ben began dating in 2008 and the newlyweds celebrated the birth of their daughter Aoife Belle three months ago.
