Actor Dominic West has wed his college sweetheart in a romantic ceremony in Ireland.

The Wire star married Catherine Fitzgerald in front of their loved ones at Glin Castle, the bride's family home in Limerick, Ireland, on Saturday. Prior to the wedding, West said, "I'm so nervous I can barely speak," while Fitzgerald told reporters outside the ceremony: "I feel so excited, really happy, really thrilled. It's a fairytale."

The happy couple was also joined by West's co-stars from the hit cop show, Wendell Pierce, Andre Royo, Sonja Sohn and Doug Olear. Sohn says, "We had to be here for this wedding. Dominic is our boy and he is in love with Catherine which is great."

Last weekend was a double celebration for the couple - the newlyweds were back in church in Sunday for the christening of their three young children.
