One of Miriam O’Callaghan’s daughters tied the knot in Kerry over the weekend and the proud mum has shared some snaps of the stunning day.

The PrimeTime host watched on as her daughter Jess, who is a twin with her sister Georgia, married financier Daragh McCormack on Friday.

The couple tied the knot in front of close family and friends on Friday in the five star The Europe Hotel and Resort in Killarney, Co Kerry.

In one photograph, the proud TV star beamed in a selfie with Alannah, while in another picture, she showed off her red mother-of-the-bride outfit with the groomsmen.

But Today FM star Louis Cantillon shared a snippet of the moment they walked down the isle after saying their ‘I dos’, writing: ‘The best weekend celebrating these lovers’ as she tagged Jess and Daragh.

Jess glowed with bridal beauty, wearing a white strapless floor-length satin gown with a sweetheart necklace. She wore her hair back, under her veil.

Jess is one of Miriam’s four daughters she shares with ex-husband Tom McGurk. Like her mother, Jess has a career in TV but is very private and works behind the camera, rather than in front of it.

Miriam split from Tom in 1995 and in the same year met her now husband Steve Carson as the pair were working on BBC Newsnight. The couple share four boys together, Conor, Jack, Daniel, and James.

Miriam frequently visits her daughters, who are scattered across the globe due to their work.

The last time all eight of her children were together was for the launch of Miriam’s new memoir, Life, Work, Everything, last October.

She told why it’s taken her so long to write her story.

‘I got the contract 20 years ago from Penguin Random House, and I decided I wouldn’t write it because I went on to have another child, and then I thought, “Oh, I have a shared life. How can I make it fair and not upset everyone?” And I have eight children, and my mum’s still alive, so I decided not to write it.

‘But then Patricia Deey of Penguin Random House didn’t give up on me,’ Miriam said.

‘I think part of the reason I took so long to write it is that I wanted it to be honest. I think there’ll be a lot in it that people don’t know.

‘I interview people a lot, and I ask them to open up to me. So there’s no way I was writing it unless it was the truth, the unvarnished account of my life.’
