“We laughed and danced non stop for three days…”

Kathryn Thomas has said that her wedding was the best weekend of her life.

The Operation Transformation presenter married her long term partner Padraig McLoughlin last weekend in Co Kildare’s Kilkea Castle.

The couple, and their 200 or so guests, attended the 12th century castle to exchange vows on Sunday.

They had been engaged for three years.

Kathryn has since called the wedding “the best weekend of a my life.”

In an Instagram post featuring herself and McLoughlin hand-in-hand in the gardens of the estate, she thanked those involved in the wedding for making the weekend so special.

“Just back in the real world after the best weekend of my life with (Padraig and Ellie),” she wrote.

” I put my phone away and surrounded by all our friends and family, who we love to the ends of the earth, I kid you not, we laughed and danced non stop for three days!!

“So many people helped us bring our ideas to life.”

Kathryn then thanked each of the individuals and groups who contributed to the day, including photographer Shane O’Neill who captured the most important moments of the event.

Kathryn and Padraig got engaged back in 2016 but put off getting married when the presenter became pregnant with Ellie in 2017.

“It’s just going to be a big party and it feels more special now that Ellie is here to celebrate with us,” Kathryn said at the time.

She recently revealed that she was planning on having nine bridesmaids for the big day – as feat that was proving difficult given the short amount of time she and Padraig had to plan the wedding.

They are planning to go on honeymoon at a later date.
