The couple exchanged vows on Saturday April 6 in an intimate beach ceremony in front of the iconic Burj Al Arab Jumeirah, which made a fitting backdrop for their lavish celebration. The wedding had been planned for over three years, but a house move and the birth of the couple’s son Ronnie, now one, kept the couple from saying ‘I do’ sooner. However, Danielle says it was everything she could have wished for. ‘It was better than I ever could have imagined,’ the 35 year old exclusively tells OK! following her big day. Danielle adds that she’s over the moon to be married to Michael, who she calls her ‘best friend’. Gushing over her new husband, electrician Michael, 31, Danielle tells 4 Below and facing page: Danielle says her wedding to Michael was everything she could have wished for. Facing page inset: The couple’s rings from Say It With Diamonds WWW.OK.CO.UK 5 us: ‘It feels like happy ever after for me as I’ve been through hard times.’ Her marriage to footballer Jamie O’Hara, which ended in 2014, gave her their sons Archie, eight, and Harry, seven, who were Michael’s adorable best men, and George, six, who was in charge of looking after the rings, which didn’t go exactly to plan! While Danielle and Michael originally planned to have just ten guests attend their big day, Danielle got carried away and, as her dress got bigger, so did her guest list! They ended up with 46 of their nearest and dearest present, and a budget that was most definitely blown, but she has no regrets. While sipping a glass of champagne on their honeymoon in the Maldives, Danielle tells OK! why marriage is different this time around and what has made her consider adoption… Congratulations, Danielle! How does it feel to be Mrs O’Neill? Amazing! I’ve had wedding blues because it was so perfect – I’ve been bursting into tears every day! I was sobbing on the plane to our honeymoon in the Maldives because it was all over. We’ve planned it for so long and I wanted it to be the best day ever, and it was. Did everything go to plan? Well I turned up before a few of the guests, so I had to wait for them to get ushered in. I’m used to waiting for my friends as they’re always late ‘ITFEELS LIKEHAPPY EVERAFTER FORME’ [laughs]! I just felt worried for Michael waiting in the heat! George had a little box that said ‘Special Agent George’ and he had the rings in there, but he left the box with the wedding rings in the car! It was probably my own fault for not keeping them until the last minute. Luckily I realised before the car drove off! Why did you choose Dubai? We just love it there and when we saw the venue a year ago we knew that was it. It was their first wedding and we hired out the whole beach club! Were the children well behaved? We had 16 children at the wedding. Before anyone was even eating, the kids were up dancing! Ronnie was naughty but he’s only a baby, and it’ll be funny to show him the photos when he’s older. All the other boys were brilliant. All of them did get in the sea in their suits, but boys will be boys! Archie read a poem about love and having a best friend forever, he did an amazing job. When we got married he got really upset and said: ‘I’m just so happy.’ Were you emotional? That made me cry! I was actually crying before I even left the room. I’ve been an emotional wreck the whole time! My make-up artist was like: ‘You need to stop now!’ ‘It was so perfect – Did you and Michael spend the night before I’ve been bursting your wedding apart? into tears every day!’ I know it’s not traditional but we stayed says Danielle of her together the night before at the Five Palm post-wedding blues 6 WWW.OK.CO.UK 7 ‘I was really anxious and emotional because I wanted the day to last forever,’ says Danielle Above: The couple say their vows. Right: Mr and Mrs O’Neill’s first kiss as husband and wife 8 Hotel as it was easier, and we was really plain – the wedding had breakfast with all the boys.
