Socialite and darling of the trendy Primrose hill set Pearl Lowe has finally wed her long term beau, Supergrass drummer Danny Goffey in Somerset.
Pearl was dressed in black for the majority of the day and the unusual ceremony took place in front of 80 family and friends. Pearl aged 38 and Danny, 34 were blessed by candlelight at the blessing.
Actor and close friend of the couple Rhys Ifans was an usher at the ceremony whilst Supergrass front man Gaz Coombes was on best man duties.
Other guests at the nuptials included Australian actress turned singer Natalie Imbruglia, British actress Jaime Winstone, and former Libertines singer Carl Barat.
Pearl wore a traditional white wedding gown for the civil ceremony but later changed into a gothic black silk gown for the blessing. Daughters Daisy, Frankie and Betty were also dressed in black lacy gowns as bridesmaids.
Fashion designer Pearl claims that she wore black to her blessing as she considered white to be inappropriate after having 4 children.
She commented:-
‘I’m just not the kind of person that would wear white. My mother has always joked and said that I had the whole Goth look going even when I was a child and it was fashionable.
Also I do have four children - so I think I couldn’t really have got away with a white dress. It’s quite dramatic, I admit, but that’s just me.”
Danny and Pearl met 13 years ago, and have experienced a troubled relationship from time to time, largely as a result of the couple’s rock and roll lifestyle, which led to Pearls long term battle with drugs. Thankfully the pair have put their wild days behind them and are now enjoying a much quieter life at their country home in Frome, Somerset.
