Actress AnnaLynne McCord and retired rugby player Danny Cipriani married in an intimate backyard ceremony in Los Angeles on Saturday, Aug. 22, 2023 [1].
The union brings together a prominent American television actress and a high-profile international athlete, marking a significant personal milestone for both public figures.
McCord, 39 [3], wore an intricate floral gown for the event [4]. Cipriani, 38 [3], joined her for the ceremony held at their residence in California [2]. The couple invited 81 guests, consisting of their closest friends, and family [5].
McCord shared details about the event following the nuptials. "We wanted a timeless, intimate ceremony with our closest friends and family," McCord said [6]. She described the wedding as a secret garden event and noted that it was an incredibly perfect day for them [2, 6].
The couple chose a private setting over a large public venue to maintain a personal atmosphere. "I married the love of my life," McCord said [6].
The wedding took place in the couple's own backyard, turning their private home into a ceremonial venue [2]. The guest list remained limited to ensure the intimacy the couple desired [6].
“"I married the love of my life."”
The choice of a backyard wedding reflects a growing trend among high-profile celebrities to pivot away from lavish, publicized industry events in favor of private, curated experiences. By limiting the guest list to 81 people and hosting the event at home, the couple prioritized personal intimacy over the commercial or media spectacle typically associated with celebrity nuptials.
