Daithi - upcoming wedding and the Kerry Rose

Daithi O'Se and Rita Talty pic c/o irishcentral.com

Daithi continues with his writings for irishcentral.com. The article is mainly about the Kerry Rose Selection - but he sneaks in some info on his upcoming marriage to Rita Talty - 2008 New Jersey Rose. A Daithi gem from the article "I get to meet all the Roses during the day. They were all up of the craic which makes life a lot easier for me. I love having fun with them during the day, I think they think I’m normal and not full of it and that puts them at ease. The stage part is always a lot of fun too".

Yes, Daithi just can't be kept away from the media, fair play to him. According to reliable sources (the good people at herald.ie) it seems Daithi and Rita Talty will not be tying the knot in 2011. You remember Rita of course - she was the 2008 New Jersey Rose.

Daithi explains all at herald.ie.
