Hearts were broken everywhere when Tommy Bowe revealed he is set to marry Lucy Whitehouse, and now the rugby star has finally opened up about his impending nuptials.
The Ireland player has remained tight-lipped about the ceremony but has exclusively told Goss.ie they will be man and wife very, very soon.
“I’ll probably be shot for saying anything but it’s coming pretty soon,” he admitted.
Here comes the bride: Lucy and Tommy will wed soon
“It’s coming VERY soon and it’s been crazy. I don’t think it’s really hit either of us yet because it’s happening so quickly.
“But we are really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a great day out for the two of us and for our family and friends too. It’s going to be a great day.”
Speaking at The Hibernia College IRUPA Rugby Players Awards at Dublin’s Double Tree Hilton hotel, Tommy added that he has been very involved with wedding plans.
“You’d probably get two different answers if you asked myself and Lucy. I think she would 100% say no I’ve done nothing,” he laughed.
Loved up: Tommy is helping with wedding plans
“But I think 150% I’ve done way more than I thought I would be doing. I try to get involved as much as I can.
“Probably not to the same amount that Lucy would have liked but listen if I was to get more involved I’d probably have had enough,” he added.
Meanwhile Tommy admitted he was delighted to be at the awards, joined by fellow rugby stars including Conor Murray and Rob Kearney.
“It’s always a super evening and you get to catach up with all the players you haven’t seen,” he told Goss.ie.
“It’s a great night to celebrate the great season a couple of the stand out players have had.”
