Brian and Amy ready for their big match day

IRISH rugby legend Brian O’Driscoll is used to high- pressure encounters at this stage but today promises to be a whole new ball game as he ties the knot with his fiancee, actress and author Amy Huberman.

The wedding will take place at St Joseph’s Church, Aughavas, Co Leitrim, at 2pm with a reception to follow in the nearby Lough Rynn Castle. The castle is located just minutes from the small town of Mohill and while gardaí will be implementing traffic restrictions, residents don’t seem to be affected by the Garda plan. Business owners were busy painting shop fronts and ensuring the town was looking its best, but that had little to do with the celebrity wedding.

Instead they were preparing for the annual Fleadh Cheoil Chonnacht, which will run from today until Sunday and is expected to attract 15,000 visitors.
