37-year-old “Gossip Girl” star Ed Westwick and 32-year-old “Supergirl” actress Amy Jackson got married twice this month.
People magazine reported that the couple said “I do” in an intimate ceremony at the Connaught Hotel in London on August 9 and then got married in Italy on August 24. Check out the photos!
More than 200 guests gathered on the Amalfi Coast to celebrate the wedding of the stars, including “Gossip Girl” Kelly Rutherford, actress Daisy Lowe, comedian Jack Whitehall and others.
Amy told People: “We wanted a venue for our wedding that was not only naturally beautiful, surrounded by the sea, hills and vineyards, but also unique, and that’s exactly what we found.”
It was a three-day affair that began with a sunset boat ride on the Motonave Patrizia.

Jackson said: “We sailed along the coast of Ravello, Positano and Sorrento and then anchored in Capri for a swim (in the sea) as the sun set behind the Faraglioni rocks.”
Guests were treated to Bellinis and Neapolitan-inspired cuisine from Michelin-starred chef Salvatore Iazzetta, as well as sushi from Vero Omakase, while listening to live Italian music.
The couple’s big day was on Saturday with a ceremony at the picturesque Castello di Rocca.
Jackson shared, “It was the perfect setting with old world charm and the ideal backdrop for the classic styles of our Italian designers Giorgio Armani and Alberta Ferretti.”
Flowers played a special role in their wedding and Jackson said their florist, Federica Sottili of The Blonde Flower, gave the ceremony “the feel of a secret garden” by creating a path of white cherry trees surrounded by white roses along the aisle.
Jackson said it felt “like entering a magical world.”
Westwick wore an Armani tuxedo as he walked first down the aisle to the James Brown hit “I Got You (I Feel Good).” Jackson’s four-year-old son Andreas was his best man, along with Ed’s friend Mike.

The actor said: “We both wanted (Andreas) to be an integral part of this special moment. He walked down the aisle with me, carried the rings and waited with me for his mother.”
Amy added, “I think this is a really beautiful way to honor their bond and make him feel a part of our celebration.”
Jackson and her flower girls walked down the aisle to Ludovico Einaudi’s Nuvole Bianche. The bride looked stunning in a custom gown by Italian designer Alberta Ferretti.
Amy said: “The dress Alberta designed made me feel like the best version of myself and allowed me to indulge my hopeless romantic side for a day.”
Her favorite detail? “The five-meter-long hand-embroidered veil moved me to tears when I saw it for the first time,” she said.
The couple wrote their own vows for the Italian ceremony, which Jackson called “the perfect way to share our love story” and allowed them to “make personal promises for our future” while also “looking back on our journey.”
She recalled: “Even among the 220 guests, it felt like there were only two of us in the room.”
After a romantic kiss, Ed and Amy left the hall to the sound of “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder.
For the reception, Amy slipped into a second look by Pronovias Atelier and said everyone put on their slippers to parade through the castle. “There was limoncello, dancing, singing and total organized chaos,” she said of the party.
They began with an aperitif, followed by a dinner of gnocchetti, fondue, endive and snapper with scampi and mussel guazzetto sauce. Westwick called it “a feast that truly celebrated the rich flavors of Italian cuisine.”
He added: “Good food and drink was the most important thing for us – we wanted our guests to go home full and happy. We also wanted to make use of the seasonal produce of the Amalfi Coast and offer a unique menu typical of the region.”
For dessert, guests were treated to a five-tiered wedding cake! There was also a selection of strawberry and meringue chocolates, which were a favorite of Ed’s late parents, Carole and Peter.
The actor said: “I know they’re up there looking down on us and I wanted them to participate in some way.”
Ed and Amy chose Frank Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” for their first dance, but were interrupted by the bridesmaids! The music changed to “Dancing in the Moonlight” and the guests joined the newlyweds on the dance floor.
They ended the extravagant weekend with a farewell brunch on Sunday at the Giardini del Fuenti beach club in Vietri sul Mare. Amy said it was all about “sitting back and relaxing” and celebrating the “perfect farewell.”
The couple are planning their honeymoon in Kenya, which Ed described as a trip that was on his “bucket list.” However, the vacation is on hold for now as Ed is about to start filming his new show, Sandokan.
At the moment they are looking to the future with confidence.
“For me, (marrying Westwick) means having a life partner to go on adventures with, share love and support, raise a beautiful family and have each other’s backs through all of life’s moments,” Jackson said. “It’s about building a future together and creating endless memories, knowing that we are a team through it all.”
Westwick added: “It all represents a new level of energy for a new adventure – the best you can ever experience.”
They also hope to expand their family. Jackson said: “I love the way Ed is with my son Andreas and I can’t wait to see him as a father one day.”
The couple met in 2021 and got engaged in January in Gstaad, Switzerland.
