Actor Ed Westwick married Amy Jackson in Italy, with several pre-wedding festivities taking place on the Amalfi Coast.
“The journey has just begun,” the “Gossip Girl” alum wrote on Instagram Sunday, sharing the first in a series of photos of the bride and groom posing in front of their altar in the Giardini del Fuenti garden in Salerno, Italy.
Before the ceremony, the couple hosted a welcome party for their family with pizza and pasta, then set sail for Capri, Sorrento, Ravello and Positano with their friends and family aboard a private boat.
“It was the perfect start to our Love Story weekend as the sun set behind Faraglioni Rocks,” Jackson wrote on Instagram.
The “party cruise” was garnished with Positano-inspired lemons and featured “Neapolitan street food and sushi from the epic Michelin-starred chef.” [Salvatore Iazetta ]“Endless spicy margaritas and dancing under the stars with our favorite people in the world,” Westwick said. A clip from the party showed the “Wicked City” actor giving a speech in which he thanked guests for joining them.
A representative for Westwick did not immediately respond to The Times' request for comment Monday.
The couple officially tied the knot on August 9 with a small civil ceremony at the Connaught Hotel in London, according to People. Their wedding in Italy, which took place on Saturday, was attended by 220 guests who traveled from the United States, India and Europe for the three-day festivities.
“We wanted a wedding venue that was not only naturally beautiful, surrounded by the ocean, hills and vineyards, but also unique, and we found exactly that,” Jackson told the outlet, praising the venue’s “timeless romance and vintage charm.”
Guests at the wedding included Westwick's former “Gossip Girl” co-star Kelly Rutherford, model and actress Daisy Lowe, comedian Jack Whitehall and his partner Roxy Horner, film producer Mohammed Al Turki and cosmetics mogul Dr. Barbara Sturm, People said.
Jackson wore several white dresses over the weekend; for the ceremony, she wore a voluminous Giorgio Armani gown designed by Alberta Ferretti. Ferretti appeared in a final fitting video Jackson made with Vogue Italia weeks before the event. Westwick also wore Armani, with a white tuxedo jacket that she said was inspired by James Bond in “Casino Royale.”
The British actor proposed to the “Supergirl” star in January while celebrating her birthday in Gstaad, Switzerland, popping the question on the snowy Peak Walk suspension bridge.
Westwick and the “Thaandavam” star met at the Silverstone racetrack in 2021, People reported. He treated her to a double date with his pets: “The coffee and the dogs,” she told Lifestyle Asia in August 2023, won her over “from the get-go.”
The couple made their relationship Instagram official in June 2022, when Jackson shared a loving birthday tribute to Westwick, accompanied by affectionate scenes from their relationship. She described Westwick as the love of her life and “a home and a once-in-a-lifetime adventure all rolled into one.”
