Rory McIlroy married Erica Stoll on Saturday in a castle. And in front of a star-studded guest list.

Call it “The Rory-al Wedding.”

According to E! News, some music royalty (both old and young) performed on the special day. Stevie Wonder is believed to have played during the couple’s ceremony, while Ed Sheeran put on a show during the reception. Not a bad one-two punch.

Other celebrities at Ireland’s Ashford Castle on Saturday included musician Niall Horan, actor Jamie Dornan, and Coldplay’s Chris Martin.

And yes, there were golfers there as well. Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Shane Lowry and Paul McGinley were in attendance, reports The Belfast Telegraph, which also has a few pictures of guests leaving the wedding.

Unfortunately, there are no photos of the lovely couple from their special day yet, but we send along our congratulations. McIlroy previously said they’ll go on a 10-day honeymoon and then he’ll return to action at next month’s Players Championship.

“I’ll come back to the Players refreshed and a married man and start a new chapter in my life,” McIlroy told reporters at the Masters.

According to multiple news outlets, Rory McIlroy is scheduled to marry Erica Stoll on Saturday, April 22. The Belfast Telegraph reports the ceremony will take place at Ireland’s Ashford Castle in what’s being billed as “the wedding of the decade.”

The timing is in line with what McIlroy told reporters at the conclusion of the Masters when asked about tying the knot.

“I’m excited,” he said. “It’s a great time in my life. It would have been nice to walk down the aisle in a green jacket.”

McIlroy only finished T-7 at Augusta National, but he wasn’t kidding about wearing the green jacket at the ceremony, something winner Sergio Garcia is considering for his July wedding.

“Oh, yeah. If the members would have allowed me, Chairman Payne would have allowed me, but I’m very — we’re very excited,” McIlroy said. “It’s a great time in our lives. That’s what I’m — the next few weeks it’s all about that. I’ll come back to the Players refreshed and a married man and start a new chapter in my life.”

McIlroy also said the couple would go on a 10-day honeymoon “in the middle of nowhere” following the wedding. If they leave the following day, that would still give McIlroy a full week to prepare for the Players, which is May 11-14 at TPC Sawgrass.

McIlroy and Stoll, a former PGA of America employee, got engaged in December of 2015. Stoll famously helped McIlroy get to his Sunday tee time at the 2012 Ryder Cup.

The Ashford Castle was featured in the 1952 movie, The Quiet Man, which starred John Wayne and Maureen O’Hara. Many celebrities — and even President Ronald Reagan — have stayed at the historic hotel through the years. The hotel wouldn’t confirm the event, but did reveal all 82 rooms, plus a cottage, are booked for this weekend. McIlroy and Stoll have celebrated New Year’s Eve there the past two years.

“They are trying to keep the big day as private as they can, even with all the A-listers invited,” an insider told The Irish Sun.

The Irish Sun is also reporting that Coldplay will perform at the reception. Kinda puts your wedding band to shame, doesn’t it?

AUGUSTA, Ga. — At his winning press conference, Sergio Garcia made it sound like capturing a first major championship isn’t going to change his life. But it just might change what he wears to his wedding.

Garcia got engaged to former college golfer and Golf Channel reporter Angela Akins on Jan. 6. And he didn’t totally rule out the possibility of wearing his new green jacket when the couple ties the knot.

“We were just talking about it,” Garcia said with a chuckle after being asked if he would ask for permission to wear the jacket during the ceremony, which is scheduled for July. “This one is a little bit too big (laughter). It would be nice, but no — I don’t know. We’ll get to the point when we get there.”

A Masters champ is allowed to take his green jacket off Augusta National grounds during the 12 months following his victory. We’ve seen Bubba Watson wear his to a Waffle House, Phil Mickelson to a Krispy Kreme, and Danny Willett to Wimbledon last year — but we’re pretty sure a Masters champ has never worn one to his own wedding.

So if Garcia really wants to wear his green jacket to his wedding, his timing for winning couldn’t have been better. But yeah, there’s still the whole needing to get permission from his fiancee angle.

And that — especially if green doesn’t go with the rest of the reception’s color scheme — could be the trickiest part. Good luck, Sergio.
