    Lana Condor is married

    The 'To All The Boys I've Loved Before' actress tied the knot with musician and actor Anthony De La Torre - her partner of seven years - in an intimate ceremony in Malibu, California, at the end of October


    They wed at the Serra Franciscan Retreat in Malibu, a place that is important to Lana because she and her late mother Mary spent time there together at a women's retreat when Lana was a teenager.

    Lana told US Vogue: "My mother Mary recently passed away, leaving my entire family devastated. But she would not have wanted us to not celebrate our love. We really wanted to get married at the Serra Retreat because being there was such a core memory that I had with my mom, and I felt like we would be able to feel her presence on our wedding night.

    "The entire weekend could not have gone better. We are so filled with love and gratitude for each other and also for all of our incredible guests who came from far and wide to join us in the celebrations. This weekend will forever go down as the happiest weekend of our lives."

    The bride also had a special reason for choosing Vera Wang for her wedding dress.

    She said: ""[Early on,] I was obsessed with the idea of wearing Vera Wang for my wedding. A little over two years ago, I took my mom and bridesmaids to Vera Wang to go dress-shopping. My mom and I absolutely fell in love with my wedding gown the moment I tried it on, and I am so grateful I got to share that experience with her. That was the only time she was able to see me in my dress, and I will hold that memory in my heart forever."

    Lana, 27, and Anthony, 30, met in 2015 at an Emmys party and it was love at first sight for both.

    Lana said: "We were both there alone and saw each other from across the room. And that was that-we both knew that day would forever change the course of our lives. We just didn't know exactly how...but boy, did our lives change for the better!"

    They got engaged in 2021 while on vacation in Mexico but things didn't exactly go to plan after they both got sick.

    She explained: "Anthony had planned this elaborate engagement on a cliffside with musicians and food and everything, but we had gotten sick so we were in the room. He was in a bad mood, and I didn't know why at the time, but it was because his plans had been foiled. I was laying in bed watching TV, and he was spending a lot of time on the balcony. He came in and asked me to come out onto the balcony, and when I stepped outside, [I saw that] he had lit a hundred little candles.

    "I was so shocked and surprised, and he bent down and said, 'This isn't how I was planning to do this. But it feels so fitting to our relationship that we always can adjust and be flexible when things don't go perfectly to plan.' He said so many other beautiful things, and finally asked me to be his wife. It was truly the best moment of my life. I am a hard person to surprise, and he pulled it off perfectly. I wouldn't have wanted it any other way."
