"We had the best day of our lives and we just feel so blessed and grateful.

"We are excited now that it went off without a glitch and everyone had a great weekend but we are very happy now to get back to life and are so excited about what the future holds for us.

"We are going to take our honeymoon in the states in a few weeks. Conall has always wanted to take me around Central Park in New York in a horse and cart around Christmas time so that’s going to be our first stop," she said.

Speaking about her wedding gown, she said her parents were teary-eyed when they first got a glimpse of the mermaid style dress.

"I was so excited to finally get to show everyone my dress. It was a mermaid style Justin Alexander piece.  I fell in love with it as soon as I tried it on.  I’ve never felt more amazing in anything in my life!

"My parents cried when they seen me in it before we went down to the ceremony room so that was so special," she said.

Amilia, who plays Katy O'Brien in the RTÉ soap also wore a stunning ankle length gown for day two of the weekend-long wedding celebrations before changing into a white jumpsuit to perform a special dance number.

She explained, "I picked a white jumpsuit for the dancing that was just so comfy and then for day two I had a 1950’s style dress.

"I didn’t plan to have the day two dress but when I seen it my mam said 'why not?'. She’s the boss," she joked.

"We couldn’t have dreamed of a better day. It was so perfect and I feel so lucky."
