Virgin Media presenter Zara King celebrates her wedding in Cork
The broadcaster wed her partner, whose identity she keeps private, at Courtmacsherry in West Cork on Friday after getting engaged in Connemara last year
Virgin Media TV star Zara King officially tied the knot over the weekend.
The broadcaster wed her partner, whose identity she keeps private, at Courtmacsherry in West Cork on Friday after getting engaged in Connemara last year.
She took to Instagram on Saturday to share a sweet black and white photo from her big day which showed the happy couple walking down the aisle arm in arm while Zara stunned in a structured white gown.
The post was accompanied by a quote from American poet E.E. Cummings from his poem I Carry Your Heart with Me.
It reads: “Here is the deepest secret nobody knows, (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud, and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows, higher than soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that’s keeping the stars apart, I carry your heart, I carry it in my heart.”
Zara’s Virgin Media colleagues Muireann O’Connell and Paul Quinn were in attendance, while her The Group Chat podcast co-hosts Richard Chambers and Gavan Reilly also scrubbed up for the big day.
The presenter had previously shared that she was a very “chilled” bride, although she admitted she underestimated how much planning goes into a wedding ceremony.
“We’re so excited and we’re really enjoying planning everything. If you asked anyone who knows me they would say I’m a very chilled bride but a very disorganised bride!” she told VIP Magazine prior to tying the knot.
“I underestimated how much work organising a wedding was, I was a bit delusional, but how are you supposed to know if you haven’t done it before?”
“I have a few things left to organise. But we’ll get there. The wedding is this summer, so it’s very soon. I should probably be a bit more on top of things. But it’ll all be fine! We’re looking forward to a great day together, everything will come together and I’m excited.”
