Kellie Harrington has opened up about her "amazing" wedding to long-term love Mandy Loughlin — but said a honeymoon will have to wait.

The couple, who have been together since first meeting at a training club in Bray in 2009, tied the knot over the weekend in a low-key ceremony in The Old Spot in Dublin.

But, they won't be jetting off on a honeymoon anytime soon as Harrington has plenty of training to do ahead of the World Championships in Istanbul in May.

"There's no rest for the wicked,” she told Dermot & Dave on Today FM, joking she has a bit of work to do making weight after the weekend’s celebrations.

Asked whether the wedding has changed things between her and Loughlin, the boxer said no but joked she does feel “a little bit older." 

The boxer said the wedding was a "fantastic day" though they experienced typical Irish weather.

"We got the four seasons in one day," she laughed.

"But we got a good bit of sunshine throughout the day which was absolutely amazing."

The Olympic champion also revealed she intends to conclude her career as an amateur boxer at 34.

The 32-year-old said she wants to have “a bit of a life” and has no intention of going professional.

“I am going to finish up when I am 34, that’ll be me done and dusted,” she said.

“Professional boxing is not for me, it’s a business.” 

“It’s not me walking away for the sport,” she said, “I’ll still train, I think it’s great for your mental health.” 

“I’ll tip away... but I’ll only tip away so I can eat more cake,” she added with a laugh.

The Olympic champion, who won the heart of the nation along with a gold medal last summer, said she’s ready to “settle down” after the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. No word yet on the honeymoon.
