Pop star swaps glitz for golf as she plans to marry at a golf course in Ireland.

Published: 23 July 2009

Pop star Andrea Corr, one of the members of Irish music foursome the Corrs, is to get married at the Doonbeg Golf Course in Ireland later on this year.

The star, who sings with her two sisters and brother in the Corrs, is marrying Barry Desmond, who is the son of Irish stockbroker Dermot Desmond.

Guests may be swapping golf course suitable-golf apparel for glamorous dresses and suits at the nuptials, which are planned for August 21st.

But if any of the congregation fancy a game of two after the ceremony, the golf course will not be too far away.

Designed by Greg Norman, the course spans 1.5 miles.

The Doonbeg website notes that a typical 18-hole game usually takes golfers around four and a half hours, so guests may find they have plenty of time to change out of their golf apparel and head back to the wedding celebrations just in time for the reception.
