Joey O'Brien goes for a helicopter ride after marrying model Joanne Martin in Dublin with Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan attending



Joey O'Brien has celebrated his off season in style by getting married and taking his wife on a surprise helicopter ride around Dublin.

The West Ham defender tied the knot with model and former Irish Miss Universe representative Joanne Martin.

His Hammers teammate Andy Carroll flew in from his holiday in Dubai with girlfriend and The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow, and club captain Kevin Nolan was also in attendance.

Carroll is on standby for Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad having been omitted from the original 23.

If the centre-forward is not called into the World Cup squad then he and teammates O'Brien and Nolan will not report back for pre-season training at West Ham until the start of July.



O'Brien splashed the cash on the ceremony, and the helicopter took the couple from Phoenix Park to the luxury Powerscourt Hotel in Enniskerry, County Wicklow, where they enjoyed a five-star reception.



Joanne also wore a Vera Wang wedding dress and arrived 20 minutes late in a silver Rolls Royce.
