Jessica looked beautiful in a dress from Tori by Curvy Chic Bridal in Belfast.
The couple will spend their honeymoon in the Bahamas next month, reports the Independent.
Jessica said: “I went on First Dates to find love and I’m pretty lovestruck at the moment."
"Ger is a terrific human. He’s my king now and I adore him. He’s so supportive and so loving. He’s the perfect Prince Charming for me"
“We’ve had a wonderful start to our relationship. We reckon we could probably write the screenplay now and it could be the next big rom-com,” she told the Sunday World.
Ronan previously shared how excited the family were to see her walk down the aisle.
He told RSVP Live: "It's fantastic, because my daughter Lisa, who is my 'middle child' got married 11 years ago and she has two sons, our grandsons."
"My son Damien, who's the youngest in the family, lives in Dubai and there's no sign of him getting married! And Jessica was just going through life and then she met Ger - she met him on a TV programme, First Dates."
"When she announced she was getting married, I was absolutely delighted for her, I really was. We're so happy about it and he's a good lad. It's a great surprise for us, we're absolutely delighted and couldn't be happier."
