Dáithí escapes mob to go from bachelor boy to married man

“There’s no pulling out now, I suppose,” joked a relaxed Dáithí Ó Sé as he walked up the steps of St Mary’s Church, in Dingle, Co Kerry to wed his beautiful bride Rita Talty.

After being mobbed earlier by a group of women on the street, the man who had until now been one of Ireland’s most eligible bachelors, broke free saying: “Now, if it’s all right, I have to go and get married… This is like the Rose of Tralee, only I’m not getting paid for it,” said Dáithí, 36.

Rita, 29, from New Jersey, USA, arrived in a white Chrysler. She was applauded by hundreds of onlookers. She looked stunning in an off-white vintage gown, with lace detail, and a fascinator perched delicately on her head.
