In a picturesque ceremony on Saturday, June 22, “Love Actually” star Thomas Brodie-Sangster, 34, tied the knot with actress Talulah Riley, 38, in the quaint English village of Anstey in Hertfordshire. The couple exchanged vows at St. George’s Church, surrounded by family, friends, and a few charming surprises.
Riley, known for her roles in “Westworld” and “Pride & Prejudice,” made a grand entrance in a horse-drawn carriage, setting a whimsical tone for the day. She dazzled in a classic white ballgown with bow straps and a lace-trimmed tulle veil, her hair styled elegantly in a simple bun with minimal makeup. Brodie-Sangster, looking dapper in a blue tailcoat, grey pinstriped pants, and a cream floral-print vest, awaited his bride at the altar with palpable excitement.
The ceremony featured an unusual bridesmaid – a horse adorned with white roses. An onlooker shared, “While they were inside for the ceremony, another horse arrived with white roses woven through its mane. The horse was a bridesmaid, and I think Thomas arranged it as a surprise. Talulah looked thrilled when she saw it.” Adding to the unique charm of the wedding, a dog presumably served as the ring bearer, carrying a box with a ribbon on its back. Now, that’s what we call a fairytale wedding!
Per The Sun, the wedding guests formed a traditional guard of honour as the newlyweds exited the church, both grinning from ear to ear. They held hands as they walked through the churchyard, and showered with confetti before departing in the horse-drawn carriage for their reception. The celebration continued in the fields across from their home, where marquees and fairground rides, including a merry-go-round, awaited guests. “In the fields across from their home, there were several marquees with fairground rides,” a source revealed.
Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Talulah Riley first met on the set of FX’s “Pistol” in 2021 and announced their engagement in July 2023. Thomas shared the happy news on Instagram, captioning a photo of the couple on a small boat with, “Happy to announce that Talulah and I are engaged. Love is all around X,” a nod to his iconic film “Love Actually,” which he starred in at the age of 13.
Reflecting on their relationship, Talulah Riley opened up in a May 2022 interview with The Times, saying, “We hadn’t really acknowledged each other as a romantic possibility or potential until the moment that we both did.” She described how their friendship blossomed into love months after working together on “Pistol.” Before her relationship with Brodie-Sangster, Riley was married to SpaceX CEO Elon Musk twice — from 2010 to 2012 and again from 2013 to 2016.
As the newlyweds embark on this exciting new chapter, their wedding day remains a testament to their unique love story. Combining classic romance with whimsical charm, Thomas Brodie-Sangster and Talulah Riley’s fairytale ceremony is one for the books. Here’s to a lifetime of happiness and magic for the couple whose love truly is “all around.”
