Most fans believed the couple would in fact wait until the weekend to say “I do” but it looks like the lovely couple just couldn’t wait another minute to become husband and wife. On Tuesday these photos of the couple leaving their rehearsal dinner at the Titanic Hotel surfaced online and sent fans of both stars into full wedding wach mode.   In the hours leading up to their big moment at the altar, the groom-to-be shared his sentiments on Twitter.
