Less than a year after saying yes in a dreamy sun-soaked proposal, Aoife Walsh has said I Do!
The former Miss Ireland and her love Ben tied the knot on Tuesday ahead of their big wedding celebrations later this year.
Sharing a first look at their legal wedding day, Aoife posted a photo of her husband planting a kiss on her cheek.
Aoife, of course, opted for a white dress on their first big day, which had short sleeves and pearls throughout the fitted top.
The skirt could not be fully seen in her snap, taken by Ivana’s Photography, but it appears to have two layers, with the top section having scalloped, floral detailing.
Ben was also looking sharp for their legal ceremony, wearing a light grey suit with dark buttons.
Aoife, who met Ben on a dating app, kept things simple in her photo caption, writing: ‘Legally yours forever & always.’
The couple’s friends were delighted to see they were legally Mr and Mrs, with many sending their love in the comments and saying Aoife looked ‘stunning.’
Aoife and Ben announced their engagement in September 2025 after he got down on one knee during a trip to Lisbon.
She was completely surprised by his proposal, saying: ‘Ben did such an amazing job keeping it a surprise. I was not expecting it at all.
‘Best surprise of my life! Beyond thrilled, honestly so so happy! Literally on cloud 9 like can’t explain.’
Since then, they’ve gone from strength to strength, with Ben moving into Aoife’s home, which she shares with her young daughter, Penny.
Ben had been living in Cork but decided to move to Tipperary to be closer to his now-wife.
Announcing he had moved in February, Aoife said: ‘Lots of change is happening at the moment, but all really positive and amazing stuff. Feeling so grateful for how things are turning out.’
