The Italian sequel ceremony took place two months after they originally tied the knot on July 19. Unsurprisingly, both of the couple's wedding celebrations were incredibly brat-coded. The first took place in front of a small group of guests at London's Hackney Town Hall.

Their second wedding in Sicily was a larger affair. The newlyweds were joined by more friends and family (including his bandmates Matty Healy, Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann) on the Mediterranean island, where the group was photographed exploring the city's historic streets and enjoying aperol spritzes.

George Daniel and Charli xcx's Wedding Details

Charli xcx's wedding to George Daniel took place at Hackney Town Hall in London on July 19, 2025. The pop power couple celebrated with approximately just 20 guests, including her parents and his bandmates. (Noticeably absent, though, was The 1975 frontman Matty Healy.) The bride wore a Vivienne Westwood mini dress with the label's signature off-the-shoulder neckline and layered asymmetrical skirt. Of course, she accessorized her look with a short veil and her go-to chunky black sunglasses. Daniel opted for a simple black suit.

Later in the day, the singer posted a TikTok video set to her own song off Brat, "Girl, so confusing." In the clip, she can be seen strutting into a room and immediately walking out with the caption, "When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle." Not to worry, though: "Luckily he did xx," she added.

The couple hosted a second wedding in Sicily, Italy on September 14. The newlyweds were joined by more friends and family for the occasion, including Daniel's The 1975 bandmates Matty Healy, Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann.

In paparazzi photos obtained from the weekend, the bride and groom could be seen holding hands and exchanging rings during the outdoor ceremony. In the days leading up to the vow swap, the couple and their friends were photographed walking around the Mediterranean island and enjoying aperol spritzes.
