The luxe Getty wedding ceremony Gavin Newsom attended in San Francisco was all kinds of bizarre

San Francisco royalty, the Getty family, took over their hometown for a big wedding last weekend – Governor Gavin Newsom reportedly attended during his lengthy public absence – which was very strange.

Reported in detail by Vogue, the luxury affair celebrated the wedding of Ivy Getty, the great-granddaughter of oil magnate J. Paul Getty, and photographer Tobias Alexander Engel.

Here’s a roundup of the strangest things that happened, from IV fluids to famous bridesmaids.

House spokeswoman Nancy Pelosi, a San Francisco-born daughter, presided over the wedding. The affair took place in the San Francisco City Hall, which was decorated with pink and blue-green Persian carpets for the occasion. Even the massive rotunda was carpeted.

According to Vogue, attendees were asked to put on their masks before Pelosi’s performance.

A famous bridesmaid

Anya Taylor-Joy, who rose to superstar as the leading actress in “Queen’s Gambit”, is said to have served Ivy Getty as the bridesmaid. Apparently she led the bridal shower in a dance through the altar to “Miracles Can Happen” (the song from “Princess Diaries,” also set in San Francisco) sung by Myra.

An unusual subject

The motto of the wedding was Ivy Getty’s grandmother, who died in 2020, philanthropist and interior designer Ann Getty.

“The theme of my entire wedding is the house and my grandmother,” Ivy Getty told Vogue.

Various works of art from Ann Getty’s home were incorporated into the invitations, and Ivy Getty borrowed jewelry from her grandmother’s collection to incorporate into her wedding look. Even Getty’s ring contained diamonds that were given to her by her grandmother when the bride was a teenager.
