Charli XCX and George Daniel Affirm Love in Chic Hackney Town Hall Ceremony

20 July 2025

On July 19 Charli XCX, best known for her bold pop anthems and eclectic style, married George Daniel, the drummer for The 1975, in a delightfully intimate ceremony at Hackney Town Hall in London. The couple, who started dating in 2021 following a creative collaboration on the track “Spinning,” chose to keep the guest list low‑key, inviting family and close friends including Charli’s parents and several bandmates from The 1975, although frontman Matty Healy was notably absent.

Video clips shared on TikTok and Instagram capture the casual yet elegant atmosphere as loved ones gather in celebration. Charli had some fun with the earnest emotion of the occasion, teasing that George “isn’t crying” when she walked down the aisle, then clarifying that he “luckily did.” At one point he even modeled her veil, prompting laughter and applause from the small crowd. The ambiance was joyful and genuine true to the couple’s understated charm.

Charli’s wedding attire was as striking as it was unconventional. She donned a Vivienne Westwood mini‑dress featuring ruched detailing that bypassed traditional long gowns for a modern, bold silhouette. The silhouette was complemented by an off‑the‑shoulder neckline and short hemline that balanced bridal elegance with her signature pop‑star edge. White slingback heels and a classic veil completed the look, while oversized black sunglasses made a stylish post‑vows statement. The aesthetic captured her brash, confident “Brat” era in full force.

George suited up in a refined, tailored outfit a formal classic suit paired with a boutonnière that matched Charli’s bouquet. In photos shared by Teen Vogue and People, the couple was caught in affectionate, celebratory poses outside the venue, offering a glimpse into the warm, celebratory spirit of their day.

Their wedding is the culmination of a relationship rooted in both creative and personal partnership. The two musicians first met through their professional collaboration and quickly bonded over shared artistic vision. Charli, whose birth name is Charlotte Aitchison, and George announced their engagement in November 2023, after two years of dating. That moment was marked by a now‑iconic Instagram post featuring a tea tray and engagement ring accompanied by Charli’s exuberant caption “f---ing for life.”

Creatively, George has been a central influence in Charli’s work. During the rising success of her sixth album Brat, he is said to have supported her as both a muse and sounding board. Charli noted in interviews that working with a romantic partner introduced new dynamics to her creative process sometimes intense but ultimately rewarding. She even joked about being a "bitch in the studio," hinting at the blend of personal and professional intimacy that defines their collaboration.

Fans on social media have responded with fervor. A Reddit thread in r/popculturechat highlighted the couple’s elegant token ceremony in Hackney, sparking speculation about Matty Healy’s absence with reports suggesting he attended George’s stag party but was elsewhere for other ceremonies. Commentary ranged from admiration for Charli’s modern bridal flair to speculation about a larger party planned in Sicily this summer.

Indeed, multiple outlets suggest this ceremony was only the first in a two-stage celebration, with a more lavish affair on the horizon in Sicily. This would align with Charli and George’s penchant for creativity and global sensibility pairing a civil, minimal London ceremony with a grander Mediterranean festivity.

Charli’s choice of a mini bridal dress was a refreshing departure from convention and perfectly aligned with her outspoken fashion personality. Her minimalist bridal look offset by a tulle veil and understated makeup grounded the moment in personal authenticity, proving that her approach to style remains unapologetically her own. A fashion community on Reddit praised the ensemble as a unified reflection of her era‑defining aesthetic.

Their wedding signals more than a personal milestone. As two prominent figures in modern pop music, Charli XCX and George Daniel have blurred the lines between private life and public art. Their union, rooted in shared creativity and personal evolution, echoes in both their professional collaborations and emotional journey. Amid the glitz of their musical careers, this ceremony underlined a deeper commitment to each other and to the art they build together.

While full details and future celebrations remain to unfold, this weekend affirmed Charli and George's bond, style, and intentionality, values they’ve woven into their music and now into matrimony. It’s a demonstration of how authenticity in love and in art can resonate across fans, studios, and fashion runways alike.
