Harry Styles & Candice Swanepoel Tie The Knot After 9 Years

This has been a long time coming for anyone who has been keeping up with #Handice... 9 years to be exact. The nuptials took place in London, England during Harry's tour. Fans are speculating he popped the question on Valentine's Day after Candice shared a photo of them hugging to which she captioned: "hands down the ultimate Valentine's Day surprise🧸🌹".

According to Vogue, the attendees were packed with the couple's socialite friends and came to a total of 350 guests. Behati Prinsloo, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, Gigi Hadid and Doutzen Kroes all flew out from Los Angeles to join the celebrations. Also in attendance were Ansel Elgort, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, Anna Wintour, Joan Smalls, Niall Horan, Adele, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik.

The 28-year-old supermodel wore a custom designed Ralph & Russo satin dress with a V-neck cut down the front for the ceremony. She changed into a lace gown by Zuhair Murad for the reception.

The newlyweds are photographed above with the best man (Ansel Elgort), maid of honour (Behati Prinsloo) and fellow bridesmaid (Violetta Komyshan).

#Handice started dating back in 2016 after meeting at a party in New York one year prior. Once their relationship was confirmed through a series of Instagram posts and flirty comments, they became one of Hollywood's most talked-about and glamorous couple. Some media outlets have already referred to them as the 'new #Brangelina'.

Throughout their decade long romance, they welcomed two sons, Kai (born in 2021) and Noah (born in 2022)— who served as the ring bearers at the ceremony while Lux was honoured the duty of being the flower girl.

Harry's sister, Gemma Styles, told Vogue:

"I was very emotional— I think everyone teared up when Candice and Harry were saying their vows. The ceremony was absolutely stunning. My favourite part would have to be when my nephews walked down the aisle carrying the rings. Halfway, Noah tripped and Kai picked him up and carried him the rest of the way. It was adorable.
I remember after Harry went on his first date with Candice... he phoned me and was like 'Gem— I think I've just found my wife'. I thought he was just over exaggerating... but here we are".

Former One Direction member Liam Payne commented on Harry's post: "Fun fact: Niall cried". The internet went crazy after finding out the boys had reunited at the wedding. Zayn had flown out from California with supermodel girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. A friend of Malik revealed to E! News: "He was very excited when he saw the invitation. He hadn't seen the lads in a long while so he was happy to go catch up with all of 'em".

Russell James— a photographer and close friend to Swanepoel, shared a video on his Instagram story of Harry serenading his bride with 'If I Could Fly'— a song from One Direction's album Made In The AM. Jeffrey Azoff revealed 18-year-old Harry wrote the song for his future misses and hoped to sing it for her at his wedding... and he did exactly that.

More videos from Joan Smalls were released and it seems there was a mini One Direction reunion. All five members took the centre of the room to sing some of their old songs such as 'Temporary Fix', 'Act My Age', 'History' and 'Nobody Compares'.

Following their wedding reception, Harry & Candice made a pit-stop at a 24 hour McDonald's restaurant. The best way to end the night is with a BigMac and some McNuggets.

Congratulations to the happy couple!! We can't wait to get our hands on the next issue of Vogue for the exclusive look inside the intimate celebration.
