TikTok star Eric Roberts weds childhood sweetheart Niamh Emmett

Donegal TikTok sensation Eric Roberts tied the knot on Monday with childhood sweetheart Niamh Emmett.

Eric, who hails from Downings, has over 760,000 followers on his social media platforms and he wed Letterkenny native Niamh on Monday.

They got engaged in March while on holiday in Santorini and were married by Fr Ciaran Harkin at St Eunan’s Cathedral on Monday.

Eric previously recalled how he popped the question while the pair were on a yacht.

He said: “I had the ring on me for three months and I was waiting for the right time. When we were in Greece together, I was like, ‘It doesn’t get much better than this.”

The wedding reception was held at Harvey’s Point with music provided by Red Alert.

As a surprise for his bride, Eric brought in his friends Chasing Abbey, the dance pop group from Tullamore.

Eric first met schoolteacher Niamh 16 years ago. This summer, Eric left his job as a special needs assistant in Mulroya College to concentrate full-time on his social media work.

Eric, who is signed with Andrea Roche’s agency, has credited Niamh with backing his career.

He said in a recent interview: “She's the woman behind it all. She does all the photos and the videos for me.

“She’s the first one to say ‘You spend too much time on your phone’ and I'm like ‘it’s all your fault.’ My addiction went from watching the videos in lockdown to making them.”

The bride was attended to by bridesmaids Eve King, Gillian Collins, Aoibheann Emmett and Andrea Emmett.

The best man was David McGinley and groomsmen were Oisin Boyce, Conor Neely and Shaun McGlinchey with Lily Rose Browne and Bobby Browne acting as flower girl and page boy.
