Hollywood actress Lana Condor, known for her role in To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, has officially married her longtime partner, Anthony De La Torre.
The wedding was held in the enchanting Malibu mountains.
LANA CONDOR’S BEAUTIFUL WEDDING
The intimate ceremony took place at the Serra Franciscan Retreat Center. This is a venue brimming with personal significance for the couple.
Condor, 27, and De La Torre, 30, have shared a love story that has spanned nearly a decade, according to Vogue.
The couple first met at an Emmys party in 2015. “We were both there alone and saw each other from across the room,” Condor told Vogue.
“That was it. We both knew our lives had changed forever. We just didn’t know how yet. But our lives changed for the better!”
LANA CONDOR’S BEAUTIFUL ROMANCE
From that night onward, they became inseparable, and after six years of dating, they got engaged in December 2021 while on holiday in Mexico.
Despite their engagement plans going awry due to illness, De La Torre still managed to make the moment magical.
He set up hundreds of candles on their balcony and proposed under the stars. “This isn’t how I planned it, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
LANA CONDOR AND THE WEDDING VENUE
Their choice of wedding venue added another layer of meaning to their union, according to People.
Condor’s late mother, Mary, had introduced her to the retreat center, making it a sentimental spot.
“My mom and I had such a special experience at Serra Retreat,” Condor shared.
“I felt like her spirit was there with us on our wedding day.”
For De La Torre, the retreat also had a profound impact; he had visited during a tough time and found solace in its chapel.
LANA CONDOR’S WEDDING DRESS
“It truly changed the course of his life,” Condor said, reflecting on how the setting strengthened their connection.
The actress wore a timeless Vera Wang gown for her big day, a dress that holds precious memories.
“Two years ago, I went dress-shopping with my mom. When I tried on this gown, we both knew it was the one,” she recalled.
“That was the only time she got to see me in it, and I will treasure that memory forever.” With a flowing, youthful design, the dress made her feel both elegant and true to herself.
“I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day,” she said.
MATCHING TATTOOS
In a delightful post-ceremony twist, the newlyweds decided to get matching tattoos of their wedding date, according to Ground News.
It was their first tattoo, making it even more meaningful. “The whole weekend couldn’t have been more perfect,” Condor shared, smiling.
“It will forever be the happiest weekend of our lives.”
MEMORIES WITH HER MOTHER
The day brought joy and cherished memories, but it was also a heartfelt tribute to Condor’s late mother.
“Mom wouldn’t have wanted us to delay our celebration,” she said. “She’d want us to embrace our love and create our own new memories. And we did just that.”
A DAY FILLED WITH LOVE
Condor and De La Torre’s wedding was a beautiful reminder of love’s resilience and the power of shared experiences.
The Malibu mountains were an ideal backdrop for a day filled with love, memories, and a deep sense of family connection.
