Lauren Gottlieb: Our wedding was a celebration of love, family and joy
Lauren Gottlieb with her husband Tobias Jones Lauren Gottlieb got married to fiancé Tobias Jones on June 11 in Tuscany, Italy. The ABCD actress, who was recently seen in the web show The Royals, chose Tuscany for its rich Italian culture and breathtaking beauty. Lauren's wedding attire included a custom mermaid-style that she picked from the bridal boutique she passed every day growing up — a place where she'd dreamed of finding her wedding dress since she was a little girl. For the reception, she changed into an outfit she designed herself. The celebration lasted three days and was attended by close family and friends, including choreographer Terence Lewis. Guests enjoyed classic Italian dishes such as handmade pasta, eggplant parmesan, and refreshing limoncello spritzes. When asked about the wedding, Lauren described it as 'pure magic.' She added, 'I felt completely present and grounded, surrounded by people I love. Exchanging vows with Tobias, dancing beneath the stars, and celebrating with our families felt like a dream. The full moon that night symbolised abundance and spiritual growth for us. My dad's heartfelt speech brought tears to everyone's eyes. It was a celebration of love, family and joy, and I'm still amazed at how everything came together. '
