Moreover, the show’s creator Julian Fellowes, 74, was also on the guest list along with is wife Emma Joy Kitchener – a former Lady-in-Waiting.

The wedding comes more than a year after the couple announced their engagement with a notice in The Times in January 2022.

The actress, 41, who portrayed Lady Mary Crawley in the ITV period drama, was all smiles at her big day holding a bouquet of flowers, dressed in a white satin Josephine gown, in pictures obtained by Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, Waller-Bridge, 35, a former talent agent and brother of Fleabag star Phoebe Waller-Bridge, was dressed in a dapper navy suit. And Phoebe was photographed wearing a coral three-piece suit by Etro, with her longtime boyfriend, playwright Martin McDonagh.

Dockery was previously engaged to Irish publicist John Dineen, who died in 2015 following a 15-month battle against a rare form of cancer at age 34.

“We were engaged, and married at heart, and so I do consider myself a widow,” she told the Guardian in 2017. “I don’t have the vocabulary to describe what it felt like … I’ve never been more committed to anything in my life than him. So at the time everything just shut down. Work, everything.”
