Greg O'Shea and Jeanni Mulder have revealed new details about their upcoming wedding
Greg O'Shea and fiancé Jeanni Mulder have revealed new details about their upcoming wedding celebrations, which will take place next month.
TV presenter and rugby sensation O'Shea has shared that he and Jeanni are planning to have two wedding ceremonies, an "intimate" ceremony in Dublin and another in South Africa.
Previous Love Island winner Greg and his influencer fiancé Jeanni first announced their engagement earlier this year following a whirlwind romance after "hard launching" their relationship in September 2023.
Speaking on the couple's decision to host two ceremonies Greg told RSVP Live: "We were tossing and turning between doing a big massive wedding that everyone does, but then we got a slap of reality because Jeanni's family are all in South Africa and it is not easy to just get them to fly to Ireland."

The soon-to-be newlyweds have explained that they decided against having one large wedding instead opting for two smaller more intimate ceremonies to better suit their guests.
They have chosen to host their Irish nuptials in Dublin instead of O'Shea's native Limerick to further ease travel stresses on family members living abroad flying in for their big day.
Prioritising their family being there when they walk down the aisle above other big celebrations, Greg said: "If there are 200 people there you are not getting time with everyone as bride and groom. This will be the first celebration of my immediate family and her immediate family in one space."
With the money they are saving by not having a big traditional Irish wedding, they are putting towards their honeymoon.
Greg explained: "We decided to spend our money on our honeymoon rather than one night of celebrations. That isn't normal, it is quite unorthodox to do that, we want to treat ourselves for a long period of enjoyment. It was a big decision."
Model and influencer Jeanni has shared some insight into what her wedding dress will look like, stating that it will not look like a traditional gown but rather in a style that is "very her" and "not your everyday bridal gown."
When she went to buy her dress, Jeanni called it a "family affair" with her mother, Greg's mother and all his sisters helping her choose the perfect one.
Greg, who represented Ireland at the Paris Olympics, says he is planning a classic look for the big day opting to wear a black tuxedo with a crisp white shirt.
As the couple's excitement builds ahead of their big day, their only concern is securing a travel visa for Jeanni's mother as it has yet to be approved.
The delay comes after Ireland introduced new rules requiring people entering the country from South Africa to have a visa.
