Lena Headey and Marc Menchaca tied the knot in Italy last week with a handful of Game of Thrones cast members in attendance.

The Game of Thrones star and the Ozark actor wed in Puglia, Italy last Thursday and while they have yet to publicly confirm the happy news, guests have already started posting snaps of the newlyweds all over Instagram. One photo shared by an attendee shows Headey, who played Cersei Lannister on the hit HBO show, wearing a simple, white silk gown with spaghetti straps, a plunging V-neckline, and a low back. She accessorized her bridal look with an elbow-length veil and a pink and a white rose tucked into her dark brown hair. The actor's floral hairpiece also matched the large, sculptural floral display at the altar. Menchaca wore a blue three-piece suit for the occasion which he paired with a wide-brimmed hat.

The celebration also offered the opportunity for a number of Headey's Game of Thrones co-stars to enjoy a mini-reunion. Peter Dinklage was photographed kissing another wedding guest on the cheek, while Sophie Turner and her husband Joe Jonas posed for photos with some of the other attendees. Scinua, a local restaurant nearby, also captured this meet-up between the show's stars, posting a photo of Dinkage dining there alongside Michelle Fairley who played Catelyn Stark on the program, and Conleth Hill, who starred as Varys. And pop star Rick Astley also made an unexpected appearance, posing for selfies with guests at the ceremony.

Lena Headey and Marc Menchaca have been romantically linked since 2020, confirming their relationship that November after being photographed out together multiple times. She was previously married to musician Peter Loughran for five years before filing for divorce in 2012. They had one son together, Wylie Elliot Loughran, in 2010. In 2015, she gave birth to her second child, a daughter named Teddy, with her childhood friend and boyfriend at the time, director Dan Cadan. The pair would go on to marry in 2018 and divorce the same year. In an interview with More from 2015, Headey said of the decision to end her first marriage, “It's tough. There's a lot of hurt and sadness and disappointment. Grief. Massive grief. It's a mourning process, and yet nobody's died.”
