Ireland rugby star Robbie Henshaw ties the knot in 5-star Cashel Palace Hotel

Robbie and Sophie tied the knot on Thursday surrounded by family, friends, and a host of Robbie’s Ireland rugby team mates. Gates to the Catholic Church on Friar Street were closed to secure privacy for the wedding ceremony.

Fresh from beating Scotland in the Six Nations on Saturday 17-13, Robbie is now celebrating in Tipperary’s City of the Kings, with the wedding entourage booked into the 5-star Cashel Palace and Bailey’s Hotel, both on Main Street.

Three days of music and celebrations are under way. Robbie hails from a musical family, and it’s understood a big hooley is planned for Foley’s Bar on Friday night. Robbie and Sophie have been together since 2014, and met while they were both studying at UCD.

The wedding guest list includes Irish rugby star Conor Murray and his wife Joanna Cooper, who shared their photo on Instagram.

Rugby player Josh van der Flier and his wife Sophie de Patoul were other wedding guests who shared their photo from the Henshaws’ wedding on social media.

Former rugby player Rob Kearney and his wife Jess Redden were also spotted among the guests celebrating Robbie Henshaw and Sophie Karren’s wedding.
