When Welsh rugby"s icons got married

There will be smiles, there will probably be tears, and you can guarantee the great and the good of Welsh rugby will be in attendance.


When Wales captain Sam Warburton gets married to Rachel Thomas on Saturday, he will undoubtedly be consumed by the type of nerves all grooms suffer as they await the arrival of their blushing bride.
