She got married Michelle Dockery, Mary Crawley from the TV series Downton Abbey. At his Jasper Waller-Bridgecreative director of a management company, the actress said “yes” last weekend, with a romantic and intimate ceremony held at St. Nicholas’ Church in Chiswick, London.
A happy ending (finally) for the actress, who in 2015 had experienced the drama of saying goodbye to her then boyfriend, John Dineen, a fellow actor struck down by cancer at just 34 years old. They were supposed to get married, then the illness had shuffled the cards. It was their colleague Allen Leech who brought them together two years earlier, a real love at first sight.
«We were engaged but in our hearts it was as if we were already married, so yes, I consider myself a widow”, the Dineen actress said in the aftermath of his passing, a loss from which she struggled to recover. «There are no words to describe what I feel. I have never been as involved with anything or anyone in my life as I was with him. With his illness and then his death, everything lost all meaning. Throwing myself into work was the only option I had.”
Life then surprised her, putting Jasper in her path. They were introduced by mutual friends, including his sister, Phoebe, an actress like Michelle. «The story had a slow gestation. They both went into it with leaden feet”, some friends said to the Daily Mail the day after the engagement. «Moreover, at the time Michelle was busy promoting the first film by Downton Abbey and was always traveling around the world. But they spoke often and remained in constant contact. She is a girl with her feet on the ground, she has never looked for a VIP love.” Engagement made known as once, and as usual for tradition-bound British families, on Times: «The official engagement between Jasperson of Micheal Waller-Bridge of King’s Lynn, Norfolk, and Teresa Waller-Bridge of Battersea, London, and Michellesecond daughter of Michael and Lorraine Dockery of Gidea Park, Essex,” the advert read.
Then everything was very discreet, from the preparations to the big day, as in the style of the couple, who do not like the clamor of the limelight or sharing their emotions on social media. The few photos of the wedding circulated on the web, however, tell of all their happiness. The most important thing.
