The video also showcased Boyzone's Ronan Keating serenading the couple with "I Love The Way You Love Me" alongside a piano in the church.
The video montage included recent photos of the couple celebrating over dinner, complete with an anniversary dessert plate. It concluded with an image of an elderly couple on a bike, accompanied by the quote: "Falling in love is easy but staying in love is special."
Nicky captioned the post: "20 years ago on 29, Aug 2023. 9/8/03. We had the most amazing day with friends and family. Happy 20th Anniversary @georginaahernbyrne" .

Their daughter Gia shares a love for music and drama while 16 year old Rocco has followed his father's footsteps into soccer, playing as a goalkeeper for Dublin club Shamrock Rovers, mirroring his dad's former position at Leeds United.
