Charli XCX quietly marries musical star in London
The 32-year-old Brit tied the knot with George Daniel at the weekend with a video of the couple on their special day going viral.
The Apple singer wowed in a low-cut white mini-dress, wore her hair down with a lengthy veil and even donned her trademark Brat sunglasses at the intimate ceremony at the Hackney Town Hall.
According to The Mirror, there were only 20 friends and family in attendance, including Daniel's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann.

As for the 35-year-old sticksman's attire, the groom opted for a casual black suit with an off-grey shirt underneath, plus a white flower in his jacket to match his wife's bouquet.
There had been reports that the pair were planning a lavish Sicily wedding later this year.
An insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'Charli and George fell in love with Sicily and knew they wanted to get married there.
'It's incredibly secluded and romantic. There will be no expense spared. It's costing tens of thousands of pounds and visually it will be mesmerising.
'Charli and George said they wanted a massive party and there are no restrictions on when the bar has to close, so it can go on all night.'
The source added: 'They have both had such a busy summer with massive shows, but from mid-August they're able to slow down and focus on their big day.
'It's going to be pretty star-studded too, with plenty of their celeb mates making the journey over to Sicily to watch them say 'I do'. Charli and George are so excited to become man and wife.'
However, Charli revealed earlier this year that she was feeling relaxed about her wedding plans and that she and Daniel 'just want to have a party'.
The 360 singer said: 'We're both very chill and we kind of just want to have a party.
'Neither of us are particularly formal about marriage or care about the formalities of the ceremony or whatever.
'We just want to be together forever and have a party with our friends.'
The pair got engaged in November 2023 after one year of dating.

‘Glad to have lost the role': Taylor Swift becomes the target of Matty Healy's mother in cutting interview
Taylor Swift was shaded by her ex-boyfriend Matty Healy's mum, Denise Welch, who declared she was 'glad' that she didn't end up as the singer's mother-in-law. Welch targeted the 14-time Grammy winner when asked about the pop star's short-lived romance with her son during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! Thursday. Welch, a British soap actress and daytime TV fixture, didn't hold back when host Andy Cohen asked for her reaction to Swift's 2024 album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is believed to contain several nods to the rocker. 'Obviously, on pain of death can I talk about that episode, but not being her mother-in-law is a role that I am glad that I lost,' she said, prompting audible gasps from the audience. 'Not that I have anything against her at all,' she went on. 'It was just — it was tricky.' The Big Brother star, 67, then briefly paused before elaborating on her initial answer. 'She — listen, you're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it,' Welch said of the Cruel Summer hit maker, 35. But Welch insisted that Healy, who is the frontman for The 1975, took the aftermath of Swift's eleventh studio album 'all in good grace.' 'He is very happy with his amazing fiancee Gabriella, who is gorgeous,' she went on, referring to the model Gabbriette Bechtel, by her real name. 'So, we've moved on,' Welch added. Healy, 36, and Swift briefly dated from May to June 2023, following the latter's split from British actor Joe Alwyn. During their short-lived romance, the duo were inseparable, with the crooner attending several of her sold-out Eras Tour concerts. They were also often spotted in New York City, including at the Electric Lady recording studio. Following the pair's split, an insider told Entertainment Tonight that they had parted ways due to incompatibility and scheduling issues. When Swift released TTPD in April 2024, it was rumoured that she wrote the album's title track, Guilty As Sin, Down Bad, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived and I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) about Healy. Swift has since moved on with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce over the summer of 2023. Healy, for his part, popped the all-important question to Bechtel in June 2024.
