Irish influencer Niamh Cullen has married her longtime love Jamie Gill in a stunning Italian ceremony.
The couple exchanged vows in front of their closest family and friends at Borgo di Tragliata, which is located just 30 minutes outside Rome.
Sharing the first photos from their wedding day on Instagram, the Dublin native wrote: “08.11.24 🤍”
The influencer and her beau got engaged in December 2022 while they were doing some early Christmas shopping.
The couple met at a Bingo Loco event six years ago, and became friends before they started dating.
Announcing their engagement in 2022, she shared a carousel of snaps of herself and Jamie inside The Shelbourne Hotel, and wrote: “When I thought we were off Christmas shopping… Christmas came early 🥹 💍 ❤️ #loveyouforever.”
Speaking on Louise Cooney’s Open Book podcast about the proposal, Niamh admitted: “I actually kind of knew [the proposal] was going to happen because he was actually acting a little bit funny that week, what he was doing as well wouldn’t really be like Jamie.”
“He was kind of encouraging me to go on Instagram, he was like ‘you should go on Instagram and address a few things, tell people why you’ve been upset and sad’.”
She continued: “He wanted a clean slate so when we woke [the day after the proposal], he was so cute, he booked The Shelbourne for us, and we woke up the next day and he was just like ‘are you getting loads of lovely messages?’ and I was like ‘Yeah’.”
“I said to him,’it’s so nice, I’m getting people who are still commenting on how I shared about my mental health’ and he was like ‘yeah that’s why I was encouraging you, I really wanted you to have such a clean slate’ and I was like ‘that’s just so cute of you to think that’.”
Though it wasn’t a “political choice,” Niamh’s decision to not have bridesmaids made the wedding preparation process run more smoothly.
Instead, Niamh chose to have three “Bridesmen” – including fellow influencer James Kavanagh, and her close pals Joshua Ledger and Frank Cardiff.
Speaking to Charleen Murphy and Ellie Kelly on the Hold My Drink podcast, she explained: “I’m really close with all my girls and I’ve been bridesmaid so many times that it feels like you want to ask them back.”
“I would have had the three lads there anyway, so it was going to make my bridal party huge, like twelve people.”
She clarified that her girlfriends would still have the opportunity to celebrate in a unique way by dressing in black on the day: “I’m going to get a good few photos of them being my unofficial bridesmaids.
“They were all delighted and because they love black. I’m trying to include everyone. It’ll be lovely.”
This weekend, Niamh and Jamie intend to have a lavish three-day wedding party.
The future bride acknowledged that she was “excited” about the big day and was eager to let her hair down.
