BONNIE Ryan has revealed the touching way she honoured her late dad on her wedding day.
The Irish influencer and her husband John Greenhalgh tied the knot at a quaint old St Augustine’s church in the village of La Machi, Italy on May 23, 2022.
However, Bonnie’s late dad, broadcaster Gerry Ryan, sadly couldn’t be there for the special day.
The beloved radio jock passed away on April 30, 2010, at the age of 53.
Bonnie, who was just 17 when her father passed away, has always spoken openly about her experience with grief.
Before her wedding, the Dublin beauty opened up about missing her dad and shared how she planned to honour him on the day.
She told RSVP: “I can’t not remember him. Everywhere I turn, he is there. We will do something special on the day and I will make up my mind a couple of weeks beforehand on what I want to do.
“I don’t want to put pressure on myself and I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. I will definitely be doing something nice to toast to him on the day though.”
The radio star recently reflected on her wedding and revealed the special way she paid tribute to her dad.
She told the Irish Examiner: “We had a little Jameson stand, because that was the whiskey that my dad loved to drink. And I think that kind of sent everybody into orbit.
“So that was a bit dangerous. We had the best night ever. And then we looked at the time and it was five o’clock in the morning.”
Bonnie recently opened up on her “busy” life in New York with her hubby as her RTE star sister Lottie encouraged her to settle down in Ireland.
The influencer and her husband John moved to New York together back in 2023.
The 32-year-old didn’t get to celebrate her wedding anniversary on the day as she had flown to Dublin to attend the Platinum VIP Awards with her mum Morah and her sisters Lottie and Babette.
Speaking on the red carpet at the event, Bonnie told The Irish Sun: “My poor husband has been left again. I think I’ve left him for a third year wedding anniversary, never together.
“So he flies into Dublin tomorrow. We’re going to get to spend time then. Three years. Where’s the time gone? It’s actually, it’s terrifying.”
‘BRILLIANT’
However, Bonnie planned to mark the happy occasion with a family holiday.
Bonnie’s 2FM host sister Lottie, who she recently launched her podcast No One Else Will Listen with, explained: “We’re actually going on a holiday together back to where the wedding was next week.
“We’re going on a big f***ing piss up in Italy and we’re going to record an episode of the podcast there.”
Bonnie added: “We’re going to record the podcast. We’re going to drink loads of spritzes.
Lottie joked: “We’ll be locked with like Italian grannies speaking in broken English. It’ll be brilliant.”
Bonnie replied: “I’m going to throw my hat in the ring and see if I can speak any Italian. So it’s going to be great.”
