RORY MCILROY MARRIES ERICA STOLL IN IRISH CASTLE

The pair wed in a lavish ceremony at the 13-century, 350-acre estate in Cong, Ireland. Among the guests were famous faces such as One Direction star Niall Horan, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay’s Chris Martin, and 50 Shades of Grey actor Jamie Dornan. Various golfers were also there, including Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Paul McGinley, Thomas Bjorn, Shane Lowry and Martin Kaymer.

Sheeran as well as Stevie Wonder performed at the reception. Wonder sang such hits as “I Just Called To Say I Love You,” “Isn’t She Lovey,” and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered.”

McIlroy and Stoll met in 2012 and were friends for three years before dating in 2015. “The thing I love about it is that we were friends before anything romantic happened,” McIlroy told the Irish Sunday Independent. “We met when she was working for the PGA of America and renting a condo in Palm Beach, and I found it refreshing being with someone who was living a normal life rather than, ‘Oh! My jet is 30 minutes late!’ I could speak to her about anything, we ended up spending a bit of time together and realized that there was something more there,” he gushed. “I love that she knows everything about me, and there was no judgment there. There was no judgment from Day 1, which is huge, because that’s very hard to find for someone in my position.”

According to Golfweek, the glitzy wedding ran for approximately $1.2 million.
