In recent months, despite the challenges and restrictions posed by the pandemic around the world, several celebrities were able to find joy in their marriages. From British royalty to Hollywood superstars, many of our favorite celebrities have tied the knot in beautiful and intimate ceremonies. They certainly made us smile despite the sad headlines. Let’s shine some light on those stars who said “I do” recently.
Ariana Grande, an American singer-songwriter, is first on our list. Pop music sensation Ariana Grande surprised everyone when she announced that she was marrying real estate mogul Dalton Gomez. The couple married in Montecito in California on May 15, 2020, in a private and small ceremony. Vogue reports that the event was restricted to less than twenty close family and friends, in order to adhere to strict public health guidelines because of the ongoing pandemic. Ariana looked stunning in her Vera Wang wedding gown, while Dalton was dashing in his classic Tom Ford suit. Their love and happiness filled the room during their intimate ceremony.
Princess Beatrice, British royalty, is another prominent couple who recently married. In a private, unexpected ceremony, Princess Beatrice, the elder daughter of Prince Andrew, Sarah, Duchess York, and Prince Andrew, married Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi in July 2020. The ceremony took place in the All Saint’s Chapel of Windsor Great Park with close family members, including Queen Elizabeth and the Duke Of Edinburgh. She wore a vintage dress designed by Norman Hartnell that was borrowed by Her Majesty the Queen. The Princess also wore a diamond fringed tiara, which Queen Elizabeth II sported on her wedding day, 1947. The low-key wedding of Princess Beatrice was in stark contrast to the televised weddings and media attention that Princes William, and Harry’s cousins received.
Scarlett Johansson is another big Hollywood star who has recently married. In October 2020, the “Avengers'” star, Scarlett Johansson, married Colin Jost (writer of “Saturday Night Live”) in a private ceremony. Meals on Wheels America announced the news, a charity that they support. Only immediate family members and close friends attended the ceremony, which followed COVID-19 guidelines. Johansson, who had been dating Jost for two years, got engaged to him in May 2019. Johansson and Jost are getting married for the third time. Both are very private and prefer to keep their love story personal.
We saw the intimate and colorful wedding of football superstar Lionel Messi with his childhood sweetheart Antonela Rocuzzo. The couple married in Rosario, Argentina on June 30, 2017. The guest list for the ceremony was a who’s-who of football stars, including Luis Suarez and Gerard Pique with Shakira. The couple has three children and have been together since they were just five years old. They started dating in late 2000s.
