Una Healy brought the world of showbiz to her hometown of Thurles in Ireland for her wedding today.

The Saturdays beauty and rugby star Ben Foden tied the knot in a quaint country church in Tipperary where Una’s bandmates acted as bridesmaids.

Mollie King, Rochelle Wiseman, Vanessa White and Frankie Sandford looked stunning in full length lilac dresses and bouquets of white flowers as they made their way into the church along with the other bridesmaids.

Mollie had a big smile and wave for waiting fans and photographers as she arrived at the church in her car.

JLS’ Marvin Humes – who is engaged to Rochelle –looked dapper in a grey, three-piece suit and blue tie as he arrived for the ceremony.

No doubt the couple’s five-month-old daughter Aoife will have been front and centre during the ceremony today.

While the bridesmaids and guests were happy to smile and wave to waiting fans, the stunning bride and her handsome groom were kept under wraps to protect their exclusive magazine deal.

Una and Ben along with her bandmates were spotted at the wedding rehearsal yesterday.

The 30-year-old looked happy and relaxed as she mingled with family and friends outside the church afterwards- at one point sharing a tender hug with her fiancé.

Una looked lovely in a white dress patterned with poppies, and kept comfortable in flat sandals.

Ben was casual but smart in a navy jumper and jeans.

Mollie also opted for a floral dress, which she teamed with a long blue cardigan and tan platform heels.
