Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel married in Los Angeles on Saturday, with their ceremony unfolding at the historic Castillo del Lago.
The couple announced their engagement in 2024, a mere nine months after their relationship began.
Gabbriette Bechtel, lead vocalist and songwriter for the punk rock band Nasty Cherry, first showcased her engagement ring on Instagram on June 12.
Beyond immediate family, high-profile attendees included Charli XCX and Emily Ratajkowski.
Healy's parents, acclaimed actors Denise Welch and Tim Healy, flew to the U.S. last week, actively participating in wedding preparations.
Pre-wedding festivities commenced with a rehearsal dinner held at the legendary Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood on Friday.
The couple exchanged vows outdoors, tying the knot directly underneath the famous Hollywood sign as the sun began its descent.
The bride, resplendent in a white dress, walked down the aisle, culminating in the couple's kiss precisely at 7 o'clock.
Despite their current indefinite hiatus from live shows, Healy performed with his band, The 1975, at the reception, electrifying the atmosphere.
The 1975 has cemented a significant presence in the music landscape, achieving five UK number one albums throughout their career.
The band further captivated a massive audience headlining Glastonbury last year.
Healy and Bechtel were first linked in September 2023, initiating a relationship that swiftly led to their engagement.
The right person came along that made him want to settle down.
A source close to the couple confirmed, 'the right person came along that made him want to settle down,' describing Bechtel as 'the whole package.'
Another insider indicated the couple 'work really well together' and are 'absolutely in love with each other.'
The newlyweds are expected to remain in Los Angeles rather than relocating to the UK, a decision attributed to Bechtel’s family residing in Southern California.
The families of both the bride and groom are reportedly 'very close,' fostering a robust foundation for the couple's future.
This high-profile wedding occurred concurrently with the marriage of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in New York, a separate, equally anticipated event.
The wedding of the century.
Radio personality Greg James described the Swift-Kelce wedding as the 'wedding of the century,' claiming 10,000 free drinks were provided at their celebration.
A source noted that Healy and Swift reportedly started dating their respective partners around the same time, adding another layer of synchronicity.
Reports indicate that Gabbriette and Matty spent over £100,000, approximately $134,000, on flights for their guests to attend the California celebrations, ensuring a grand affair.
