Stars shine on Mr D’Arcy and his bride

As Leinster and Ireland fans will have noted, when it pours, Gordon D’Arcy reigns.

Yesterday Mother Nature obliged. The heavens opened as the Ireland centre, who excels in tough conditions, was in full matrimonial regalia to celebrate his wedding in Co Monaghan.

The 32-year-old missed the final of Ireland’s three Test matches with New Zealand last month due to injury but that did not stop him from tying the knot with the 27-year-old former Miss Ireland Aoife Cogan.
