Taylor Swifts Dream Wedding Revealed by Insiders

As showbusiness weddings go, they don’t get much cooler than The 1975 singer and ’s ex-boyfriend ’s.

The nuptials were so ‘Hollywood’ that he and his grungy yet effortlessly stylish new wife, Californian model Gabbriette Bechtel, 28, said ‘I do’ underneath the iconic Hollywood sign as the sun set on Saturday evening.

The bride, dressed in a traditional white wedding gown with a sweetheart neckline, ruffled long sleeves and trailing veil, and the groom, in a black suit and bow tie, said their vows in front of their nearest and dearest in the garden of the 1920s estate Castillo Del Lago – once owned by .

At 7pm, Healy kissed his wife, passionately drawing her into a romantic embrace.

The guest list was eclectic. A-list model was there, along with model Alex Consani. British singer Charli XCX, wife of The 1975 drummer George Daniel, also attended, with one guest describing the wedding as ‘all very brat’ in a direct reference to Charli XCX’s Grammy-award-winning album Brat, which was inspired by the bride.

Released in the summer of 2024, it prompted a movement which saw women bond over their playful defiance, messy fashion and rebellious nature.

Bechtel, who goes by the single name Gabbriette, was lead singer of Nasty Cherry, the all-girl punk band set up by Charli XCX, and is famed for her bleached or ultra-thin brows, smudged eyeliner and dark, edgy make-up.

Yet Healy, 37, didn’t forget his northern roots. Not only was his beloved mother, the former Coronation Street actress and Loose Women panellist Denise Welch there, but also her close friend, actress Sally Dynevor, who has played Corrie veteran Sally Metcalfe for 40 years. Sally is Bridgerton actress Phoebe Dynevor’s mother.

‘It was very, very cool to have Corrie legends there,’ says a source close to the wedding.

Matty’s father Tim Healy, star of British comedies including Benidorm and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, was also in attendance, apparently entertaining his son and new daughter-in-law’s pals with his quick wit.

Matty and his bandmates from The 1975 played a set for their guests as they partied until the small hours.

One guest tells me: ‘It had all of the Hollywood glamour without being ostentatious or cringe. It was classic old showbiz, it was beautiful.’

The comments beg the question what would Healy’s ex, pop megastar Taylor Swift, have made of his special day.

The couple dated for two months in 2023, but those who know Taylor believe that Healy was ‘the one who got away’ and she was devastated when they split.

Healy’s old Hollywood wedding, say sources, is precisely the ‘vibe’ Taylor may have preferred over her audacious big day on July 3 when she married American football superstar Travis Kelce.

The couple wed at Madison Square Garden in New York in front of 1,000 guests, some of whom, say sources, Taylor barely knew.

Among the celebrities invited were Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Ellie Goulding and Hugh Grant. Hollywood actor and comedian Adam Sandler officiated.

While one guest told me ‘it wasn’t how you’d think it was like in there, it was actually lovely’, another sniped: ‘Taylor basically got married at the O2 [the enormous London music venue]. It didn’t seem like her at all. She loves old Hollywood glamour.’

There were also raised eyebrows when Taylor held her bachelorette party on the same weekend as Healy’s bride Gabbriette.

While the pop star had a low-key bash at her mansion in Rhode Island, joined by the likes of model Gigi Hadid and actress Selena Gomez, Gabbriette headed off to Las Vegas, chartering a private jet to Sin City where she shared pictures of herself handcuffed, while another photograph saw her posing provocatively in a car wearing vintage Chanel.

A man dressed as a police officer spanked her with a baton before picking her up and carrying her on to the private jet.

In a nod to her future husband, she also posed in front of balloons spelling out ‘Mrs Healy’ at the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel.

Other pictures showed fake 100-dollar bills spread across the floor and Gabbriette posing with burlesque star Dita Von Teese and dancing with an Elvis impersonator. ‘That shows just how different the women are,’ says a source who knows both.
