British singer Red has tied the knot with musician Mark Angels! Known for her collaborations with Diana Ross, Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys, Lionel Richie, Katy Perry, and Andrea Bocelli, Red exchanged vows with Angels on July 17. The elegant "black-tie summer bling" ceremony took place at the Orangery in Maidstone, Kent, England, with 115 guests in attendance.
Red explains that after initially planning to marry in the Philippines, the couple sought a venue that resonated with both Mark's cultural heritage and their British roots. They fell in love with the Orangery's "Lapa" and its "gorgeous lake," which reminded them of their engagement location in the Philippines.
For their wedding, Red and Mark aimed to "create lasting memories with our loved ones," which inspired them to host a welcome brunch pool party at a 9-bedroom mansion in the Kent countryside.
The wedding began with guests arriving to the sound of bagpipes, a nod to their Scottish heritage. "Having a bagpiper at our ceremony was essential for us," says Red. The music then transitioned to a string quartet led by their friend Olivia, known for her work with Ed Sheeran and Adele, who prepared bespoke arrangements of the couple's favorite songs.
A special tribute was made to Red's father, who passed away in 2016. Red walked down the aisle holding a balloon in his memory, a gesture she describes as a "devastating loss" for her family.
For her wedding attire, Red chose Eleganza Sposa to create two stunning dresses. Her ceremony dress, described as "a fairytale dream come true," featured an extravagant train, a Swarovski crystal veil, and a matching belt, all incorporating a "tasteful amount of bling." Mark wore a traditional Scottish kilt for the ceremony.
At the reception, Red changed into a "short gold structured mini dress with feathers, pearl embellishments, and opera gloves for drama," channeling "old Hollywood glam." Guests enjoyed a variety of dishes, including steak and chips, traditional Scottish square sausage rolls, and Scotland's national drink, Irn Bru, available on tap.
The celebration continued with a lively 12-piece Gospel Choir flash mob during dinner, Scottish Ceilidh dancing, and an open mic session with tBritish singer Red has married musician Mark Angels in a glamorous 'black-tie summer bling' wedding in England!heir wedding band.
Red and Mark first connected when Red discovered one of Mark's YouTube videos, drawn to his voice and charisma. Their mutual love for R&B and drive for success quickly bonded them. "We became inseparable best friends for two years before our attraction blossomed," Red reflects. "Eight years later, I'm marrying my best friend."
Mark admires Red's "unapologetic fearlessness" and is grateful for her support and drive. "She pushes me to be the best version of myself, loves me through my flaws, and never lets me settle for comfort," he says.
"Our wedding was like a movie," Red concludes. "With its twists and turns, it ended in pure bliss and euphoria, and with a partner for life to grow old with and cherish every moment."
