For the second time this year, singer Charli xcx and The 1975 drummer George Daniel have walked down the aisle. The pair, who have been together for three years, were married in an official ceremony in July held at London’s Hackney Town Hall, an intimate event attended by Daniel’s bandmates (cut Matty Healy) and a few other close friends. (A follow-up rave, held at a nearby bar, made headlines for offering “trays of cigs,” and a no social media policy.)
Since then, it’s been rumored that a second, bigger bash was in the cards, and a Friday Instagram post from Charli xcx that depicted the couple and various friends gathering in Sicily sent expectations of a destination wedding into overdrive.
The ceremony was reportedly held at Tonnara Di Scopello, a small hotel in the coastal village of Scopello, Sicily. The bride wore a form-fitting, sheer white gown, while the groom donned a tan, double-breasted suit. The pair walked down the aisle to Enrique Iglesias‘s 2001 anthem “Hero,” according to reports. (Vanity Fair has reached out to Charli xcx’s representatives for additional details of the ceremony.)
A spokesperson confirms that the bride wore a custom gown by New York designer Danielle Frankel, a bias-cut chiffon slip dress with spaghetti straps and an elongated train, made with ivory silk. Its internal bustier was overlaid with transparent chiffon and layers of bias-cut ribbons; its train featured hand embroidered organza micro petals and baroque pearls.
The duo were spotted walking arm in arm to the venue, reports The Sun, which characterized Daniel as “visibly emotional” as he read his vows. An afterparty for the couple was reportedly packed with champagne—and, based on their last rave, we can likely assume that there were also cigarettes aplenty.
