Now, this is a wedding we'd want to go to.

We all know wedding bands can be totally hit and miss; some people are into the music and some aren't – but we'd say there wasn't ANY room left on the dance floor at this Irish wedding last weekend.

In one of the greatest musical combinations ever, Ed Sheeran played with Johnny McDaid and his band Snow Patrol on Saturday.

Johnny's younger sister tied the knot in Derry, and Beech Hill Country House Hotel shared a video of the musical stars playing together on the night.

Johnny brought his girlfriend (and rumoured fiancé) Courteney Cox along to the big day, which sparked the news that they were the ones getting married, but the Friends star was simply there to wish Johnny's sister well.

According to Belfast Live, Courteney and Johnny stayed at the family home in Culmore,Derry, and were spotted strolling at Queen’s Quay over the weekend.

Earlier this month Pinterest had us swooning over its most popular wedding dress, and now the much loved image sharing site has really given us wedding fever with its favourite engagement ring.

We all know it’s the thought that counts when it comes to receiving gifts, but when jewellery reaches engagement-level importance, it sure is nice to dream about the perfect rock.

And – according to HelloGiggles – there is one engagement ring in particular that’s made its way into many people’s dreams as the Alvadora Diamond Ring has been pinned over 160,000 times.

The 18 carat white gold ring features a bezel set gem, lattice detailing and a halo of diamonds and is available for purchase from American retailer Brilliant Earth for $1,490 (that’s currently around €1,330).

The vintage inspired piece also comes in four different styles:  White gold, rose gold, yellow gold and platinum.

Previously it had been reported that the Verragio Venetian ring by Raymond Lee Jewellers was the most popular engagement style on Pinterest with 63,000 pins.

Like the Alvadora Diamond ring, the Verragio Venetian is an 18 carat white gold piece but it also boasts 0.45 carats of diamonds and costs around €3,800.

Playing an Adele track as we walk up the aisle is the closest most of us would ever come to having her at our wedding, but then we're not Vince and Ryan from the States, are we?

In an incredible stroke of luck, the singer spotted two fans dancing their socks off during a recent concert in the Los Angeles’ Staples Centre, and decided to call them up to the stage.

In the space of a minute, we learned that Vince and Ryan were engaged and set to marry in Montana next September – a ceremony which Adele will now be attending after graciously accepting their spur-of-the-moment invite!

"I would love to come," she told an overexcited Vince before assuring Ryan that she didn't have a rate and she'd 'do it for free'.

Having uploaded the incredible moment to YouTube earlier this month, the footage started really doing the rounds this week, and fans of the singer are unsurprisingly falling all over themselves.

"How did you guys NOT faint wtf" wrote one while another added: "If Adele says she's going, she's going! Congratulations on the wedding guys!"

Just imagine hearing Adele say yes to your wedding invitation…

They're pretty much one of our fave couples: Andrea Roche model Holly Keating and Michael McCarthy, a former Dublin footballer who lifted the Sam Maguire back in 2011.

And now – we are happy to report – the loved-up duo are ENGAGED!

Yup, Michael popped the question over the weekend at Co. Wickow's Kilruddery House, with 27-year-old Bray-native Holly immediately saying 'yes!'

We can't say we blame her either: the ring is definitely mega-bling: a gorgeous solitaire stone cut in a circular fashion and flanked by smaller rocks. *Swoon*

Ms Keating also shared a snap of the happy couple on social media – with friends and family quickly rushing to offer their congratulations. 

The pair met on a night out but their relationship really blossomed on Facebook. Although Holly has admitted that at first she wasn't exactly au fait with his chosen sport.

"I didn't even know what shape the ball for Gaelic football was!" she previously told independent.ie.

She added: "I love GAA now. Michael trains four times a week and has a match at the weekend. I'm just in awe of his commitment to it."

We love Angels as much as the next girl – his pain walked down a one-way street, for crying out loud – but if we had £1.6 million to blow, we don't think we'd be spending it on Robbie Williams. (No offence, Rob)

Then again, £1.6 mil is a drop in the ocean to some people, so props to Russian oil magnate, Rashid Sardarov, who decided his little girl should be serenaded by Stoke on Trent's biggest export on the biggest day of her life.

According to Glamour, the Rock DJ singer was recently hired by Rashid to perform at his daughter Victoria's gothic-themed wedding to Anton Antonov at Prague Castle, and even Victoria Secret models found themselves a little starstruck.

Taking to Instagram to share a selfie she got with the dad-of-two, who is set to be recording new music with Take That in the near future, Sara Sampaio gushed: "He sang angels just to me #angelsinprague @robbiewilliams #nakedblack "

But if Robbie Williams, who recently bared all for Instagram, personally serenading individual guests sounds like the most surreal part of the ceremony which was said to cost £ 8 million, think again.

According to reports, wedding guests at the multi-million pound ceremony were served by wait staff sporting – wait for it – fangs and fake blood…yeah, we know.

We'd say the Let Me Entertain You Rob would have been all over that one…

One bride and groom were very lucky this weekend because Justin Timberlake CRASHED their wedding.

The singer was at the Omni Mount Washington Resort on Saturday when the father of the bride spotted him and requested a photobomb because the bride is such a big fan… Amazing, right?

In a video captured by one of the guests, Justin runs straight for the couple as they're about to take their official wedding pictures.

In the clip, someone can be heard saying, "Who's this guy?" before they all laugh.

JT then made an hasty exit and said he had another wedding to go to!

Although they might not have been the star of the show at Jamie Heaslip and Sheena O Buachalla's wedding yesterday, we couldn't help but notice how loved up Rob Kearney and his model girlfriend, Jess Redden looked.

The pair, who have been together for two years, enjoyed yesterday's ceremony in Stephen's Green alongside a host of other Irish rugby stars.

Rob and Jess both took to social media to share their congrats with the newly married couple but we were too busy admiring them as a couple.

23-year-old Jess posted a beautiful picture of herself and her other half on Instagram with the caption:

"To the bride and groom."

"Strong to V strong table."

The couple have not been shy about sharing pictures before either so these just add to a long list of romantic snaps.

From weddings to workouts, there is no doubt that Rob and Jess are one seriously cute couple.

International rugby star Jamie Heaslip was this afternoon married to his long-term love Sheena O Buachalla.

The happy couple, who have been dating for over five years, said their vows at University Church on Stephen's Green in front of 180 of their nearest and dearest.

Among the well-known faces in attendance are some of Jamie's Ireland and Leinster team-mates.

Indeed the likes of Brian O'Driscoll (although wife Amy Huberman is at home with the kids), Johnny Sexton, Gordon D'Arcy, Luke Fitzgerald and Rob and Dave Kearney should all be celebrating in Dublin right about now.

Jamie, 32, uploaded a snap of him and his 30-year-old bride walking down the aisle hand-in-hand – and we have to say that both of them are looking pretty fabulous. 

Sheena in particular was totally head-turning in a traditional white dress, with a clinched-in waist, full tulle skirt and Kate Middleton-inspired lace sleeves with button detail.

Tullow-native Mr Heaslip proposed to Leinster marketing executive girlfriend last December.

Congrats, guys!

What is it about Justin Bieber this week?

He may seem initially reluctant to get involved in celebrity gossip, but when he does, he really sends social media into overdrive.

And while Cheryl Cole and Liam Payne's relationship has been a huge talking point this year, the couple themselves have refused to reveal too much, but it looks like JB is well up for it.

Just weeks after Liam's ex-girlfriend wished her former boyfriend well, good ol' Justin has sent the rumour mill into overdrive by suggesting there may be a wedding on the horizon.

The Sorry singer, who recently threw shade at Taylor Swift, is obviously feeling a little more positive, and took an opportunity to share his thoughts on the Cheryl's relationship with the former 1D member.

Speaking to The Daily Star, Justin insisted that the couple were on the fast track to marriage, saying of Cheryl: "She looks the happiest I have ever seen her. She is beautiful inside and out, so she deserves all the happiness the world."

"Liam is a great guy, all the One Direction guys are," he continued. "They just better make sure I am invited to the wedding."

Justin, who says he saw Cheryl just a couple of weeks back, has obviously gotten over being pie'd by her when he laid on the ol' Canadian charm following an X Factor performance back in 2010.

Walking it off there, J-man.

When it comes to Irish weddings, there's a tried-and-tested formula which most couples tend to stick to.

The ceremony itself is a sweet, but sedate affair generally accompanied by a church organist or soloist while the reception (and the days after) signal unbridled divilment.

Turning the notion that you must stick to a paint-by-numbers routine on its head, one groom decided to forego the standard wedding march, and chose instead to SING his wife-to-be up the aisle.

In a move that has really hit Facebook users in the feels today, Charlene Casey shared footage of her baby brother serenading her new sister-in-law as she made her way up the aisle.

"My little brother sang his beautiful new wife up the aisle yesterday with their friends Ryan on guitar & Jennifer on harmony," Charlene wrote. "It was the perfect start to a memorable day."

The upload has been flooded with comments from people who can't get enough of this couple's first step into married life, with one writing: "Fair play to him. Dunno how she held it together. I'm in floods and don't even know them!!"

Ladies, prepare yourselves for this one.

Back in 2011 Kate Moss gave the world major boho wedding inspo when she married The Kills guitarist Jamie Hince, and it seems the model could be set to do it all over again as she is reportedly engaged to her partner of one year Count Nikolai von Bismarck. 

The Mirror has reported that the 29-year-old aristocrat got down on one knee in a Venetian restaurant last month before telling the 42-year-old supermodel that he loves her in Italian.  

The owner of Ristorante da Ivo – the high-end restaurant where the proposal is said to have taken place – told The Mirror that Nikolai booked a table under a false name and waited until everyone had left the venue before he proposed to Kate.

Restauranteur Giovanni Fracassi said: “She is very ­beautiful and they were laughing and cuddling all night.”

“He chose his special moment after they ate soft shell crab and white truffle pasta, and everyone had gone home at 1am.”

“He shouted out ‘ti amo’, and then went down on his knee. It was very romantic.”

“They were very much in love and she seemed so happy, I never saw her so happy before.”

Kate has since been snapped out in London wearing a new sapphire on her ring finger.

Unfortunately it could be a while before the couple actually walk down the aisle as Kate is still technically married to Jamie Hince who she separated from last year.

Over the last few years there has been an increasing shift towards more alternative style weddings, and for one CrossFit obsessed couple in the US that trend resulted in a big day with a difference.

Brooklyn-based newlyweds Oliver Drewes and Christina Moore exchanged vows over the weekend in a Californian tennis stadium as they attended the 2016 CrossFit Games.

The couple – who met on a blind date in a New York gym – had considered eloping for the occasion but instead opted for a fitness themed big day when they won an all expenses paid wedding in a Reebok-run social media competition.

The 30-year-old bride told People: "We had such an amazing time at the 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games that we knew a wedding at the 2016 Games would be nothing short of epic."

"We wanted to elope anyway, so why not in Carson in a stadium full of people who share our values?"

The bride – who wore a white sports bra, tennis skirt, runners and small veil-like headpiece – told InStyle: "I didn't even notice a crowd. My dad talked to me the whole time we were walking [down the aisle], then I just focused on Oliver."

"The crowd was supportive and we were lucky to have friends and family on the stadium floor with us, so we felt loved."

The newlywed admitted she would not have felt comfortable wearing a traditional wedding dress on her big day and so wearing workout gear "only made sense".

According to the Mail Online, the happy couple managed to work CrossFit references into their vows and just in case the occasion conflicted with someone’s cheat day (hate that) the wedding cake was completely paleo.

In fitness and in health…
