Downton Abbey's Michelle Dockery marries Jasper Waller-Bridge
Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery has married Jasper Waller-Bridge, the brother of Fleabag creator and star, Phoebe Waller-Bridge.
The happy couple were married on Saturday (23 September) in a ceremony in London which was attended by the bride's Downton Abbey co-stars.
Michelle, who is best known for her portrayal of Lady Mary Crawley in the hit ITV drama, was pictured leaving a London church holding the hand of her new husband (via Daily Mail).
Dressed in a white gown, she was photographed with a number of celebrity guests as they left St Nicholas' church in Chiswick yesterday, including Phoebe and her partner Martin McDonagh and a host of Downton Abbey favourites.
Serving as a reunion of sorts, we counted the following attendees from the hugely popular period drama: Lily James, Joanne Froggatt, Laura Carmichael, Hugh Bonneville, Lesley Manville, Elizabeth McGovern, Lesley Nicol, Imelda Staunton, Jim Carter, Allen Leech and the show's creator Julian Fellowes. Phew!
Back in 2022, Michelle announced her engagement to Jasper with a bulletin in The Times, reading: "The engagement is announced between Jasper, son of Michael Waller-Bridge of King's Lynn, Norfolk, and Teresa Waller-Bridge of Battersea, London, and Michelle, younger daughter of Michael and Lorraine Dockery of Gidea Park, Essex."
Prior to this, the actress was engaged to John Dineen, who died of cancer in 2015 at the age of just 34.
Speaking about his tragic loss, she said: "I don't have the vocabulary to describe what it felt like – and what it still feels like. It is…sorry, give me a minute.
"I've never been more committed to anything in my life than to him, so at the time everything just shut down. Work, everything. Work didn't matter.
"You suddenly become an [oncological] expert. This stuff becomes your world, and that of course was my priority."
