Sprinter Ailís fashionably late for her big day

She may be the fastest woman in Ireland but sprint champion Ailís McSweeney was fashionably late for her wedding yesterday.

The 29-year-old holder of the national record for the women’s 100m beamed with delight as she arrived at her local church in her native Carrigtwohill, Co Cork, to marry GAA football star Bryan Cullen.

Bryan, 28, who captained the Dublin footballers to their 2011 All Ireland title and who works as a strength and conditioning coach with Leinster rugby’s sub-academy, was waiting patiently inside St Mary’s Church, as curious onlookers gathered outside for a glimpse of the gorgeous bride.
