Why, Yes, Charli XCX and George Daniel's Wedding Served Guests Cigarettes on Silver Platters
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. XCX, AKA Charli XCX and George Daniel! The couple officially said 'I do' with an intimate ceremony at the Hackney Town Hall in London on July 19, and it was just as chic as you'd expect.
The 1975 donned a classic charcoal Armani suit while the Brat hitmaker wore a draped ivory satin corseted mini dress from Vivienne Westwood paired with Jimmy Choo slingback heels. Of course, she threw on her signature oversized shades for the post-wedding festivities, too, and captured the moment with a series of TikToks.
'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle,' Charli captioned the first video, which was set to her 'girl, so confusing' remix with Lorde.
In another clip, she shared behind-the-scenes vibes with her wedding party, including photographer Aidan Zamiri and Mr. XCX himself. She wore a chic off-the-shoulder white mini dress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello as the group exuded 'bridal party energy' and danced to Far East Movement's 2010 club classic, 'Like a G6.'
George's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann were reportedly in attendance for the wedding, whereas The 1975's frontman, Matty Healy, had to skip out on the festivities to attend the premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars his fiancée and Charli's '360' muse, Gabbriette Bechtel.
While their nuptials remained pretty low-key, Charli and George's after-party brought on the brat-titude. According to The Sun, the reception took place at Italian restaurant Dalla before attendees made their way to Ellie's bar in Dalston.
'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat,' an insider told the outlet. 'Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla. The restaurant had closed for them, and they had a massive family-style meal with loads of pasta and champagne. People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside.'
And, according to Instagram Stories posted by DJ Alex Chapman, the couple served skinny cigarettes on silver platters for their guests:
Charli revealed that she and George had the idea in mind during a 2024 appearance on the Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain podcast. 'It's so fun,' she said of the wedding planning process, which she admitted made her and her now-husband 'crazy.'
'We're like, 'We're going to have this really epic, like, cigarette station!' and we're going to have people walking around with, like, silver trays of cigarettes,' she jokingly explained.
If ^^^ all of this is any indicator, Charli made a point when she said everything is romantic.

Willow Fest brings the blues, sets aside quiet time for sensory sensitive people
This year's Willow Fest in Willow Springs combines two festivals — the longtime west suburban summertime celebration Willow Fest and the newer Blues Fest, which debuted a few years ago. The festival begins July 24 and wraps up July 27 and the addition of the blues doesn't mean any of the longtime fan favorites of Willow Fest are going anywhere. The popular event draws thousands of attendees and this year, event organizers say they expect another packed downtown. As always, the four-day event will still kick off with a car show. 'We have 120 to 180 classic cars,' said village administrator Ryan Grace. Beyond the cars the festival has food, vendors and music each and every day, starting with the popular Chicagoland Beatles tribute band, American English as the Thursday headliner. Friday is the big night for country and classic rock fans, with Billy Gray, a country act steeped in tradition, taking the stage at 6:30 p.m. and then Infinity at 9 p.m. Infinity started as a Journey tribute band but, over the years, the Chicago-based group has become a popular all-around classic rock tribute outfit. Saturday is the first full day of the fest and it kicks off with something a little quieter. From 10 a.m. until noon, Grace said the festival is open to attendees with disabilities and among those disabilities, people with sensory issues. 'That's free and it's for anyone with disabilities and it's no sound and low lights,' he said. This is one the few summer fairs with a time set aside for sensory-sensitive people, and he said it draws about 100 people and it's always popular. 'It's something our mayor is adamant that we do,' Grace said. 'We get volunteers from our Lions and Lioness Clubs. It's a fun part of the carnival for us.' Saturday is also the blues day, and Willow Fest organizers let the Windy City Blues Society take the reins. As soon as the quiet part's over—the blues music begins. 'That's from lunchtime until the show ends at 11 p.m.,' Grace explained. The whole music lineup for that day can be found at but the headliner Saturday are the Cinelli Brothers—two Italian brothers and their London-based blues band. Sunday, the event winds down with another day of music. The last band is Arra, another classic rock tribute band and then, as is tradition, fireworks put the cap on another Willow Fest. The festival is headquartered at 1 Village Circle, in the heart of Willow Springs. 'We've just recently redone the grounds. We've paved every road down here with permeable brick pavers,' explained Grace. 'And we just wrapped that up.' Just in time for Willow Fest.

The 16 best ice cream shops in Chicago: Vote for your favorite
It's time for our monthly tournament, designed to choose the best of all things Chicago. This month, we are diving into one of our most cherished institutions —ice cream shops. Why it matters: Ice cream parlors help tie our neighborhoods together. The best are seared into our city's collective consciousness. Whether it's soft serve, sundaes, milkshakes or a heaping pile of all of it (including sherbet), we love our sweet treats. Methodology: Here's the hard part. We could only pick 16 places for this tournament, so there are some stipulations. We only picked spots in the city. We'll leave the suburbs for a different tournament. We did, however, include Dairy Star, since that is so close to the city limits. We excluded big chains. So no Baskin-Robbins, Dairy Queen, Jeni's, Oberweis or La Michoacana. No gelato spots or Italian ice stands. Sorry, Black Dog and Mario's! Let the arguments begin! Voting will remain open until 4pm on Tuesday.
