Between Lady Gaga and motorboats, the details (and photos) of the Howard-Byron wedding on Lake Como

Two years of pandemicamong other things, they also deprived us of gods weddings in style. But 2022 promises to catch up. And yet with great Italian pride, because it seems that the Bel Paese is today the preferred location for luxury ceremonies. So, after the great party of the Kardashian clan in Portofinoon the weekend on Lake Como the most elegant and sober (but no less sumptuous) wedding between the British tycoon was staged Alan Howard59-year-old hedge fund manager and co-founder of Brevan Howard Asset Management LLP, and the 33-year-old American gluten-free chef Caroline Byron.

The ceremony with an adjoining party, during which Lady Gaga even performedwas held in Villa Olmo, rented for a month for the modest sum of one million and 300 thousand eurosand seal closed to the public (among the protests of Como) to allow adequate preparations.

Among the 250 (visibly) wealthy guests she stood out the absence of Princess Beatricethe bride’s longtime friend, but not that of Victoria Silvstedtwhich at marriages of a certain rank never fails, and of Pixie Lott (old friend of the groom, since she was paid 25,000 pounds, in 2010, to sing at her son Daniel’s Bar Mitzvah) accompanied by her new husband Oliver Cheshire.

Everyone was offered a sumptuous dinner, fireworks and boats to reach the villa comfortably by lake. Here, some lady, fearing for some reason the cold, even pulled the fur bolero, which he then naturally removed and carried in his hand; someone else, probably more accustomed to nautical rules, he found it appropriate to take off his shoes instead to proceed faster on the boat; someone else, again, came with one large beach bag with logoperhaps hoping to take a dip in the lake at the end of the ceremony.

The bridearrived with the other guests in a short dress, she then changed in the villa and he said “I do” with a longer dress and a classic veil.

The couple, who have been dating since 2016, already got married in 2020 but, at the time, he had to give up the party due to the pandemic. The announcement of theirs first daughter he then postponed everything again until after the birth, but as soon as the baby was born, in May, the two gave the preparations are underway. As far as Saturday 26 June when they were finally able to share their joy with friends and family.
