The Apple songstress took to TikTok to share videos of herself in the leadup to the event.

The singer was seen in one video strutting into a room wearing her wedding dress – a unique choice of an off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood mini-dress with a corseted bodice – and her signature dark sunglasses.

Her hair was in natural waves as she posed in a veil and white pump heels and promptly walked out of the room to the lyrics of her song with Lorde, Girl, so confusing which start with Well, honestly, I was speechless.”

She paired it with writing on the screen that read “when george isn’t crying when he sees me walking down the aisle”, indicating that she would be speechless if her groom wasn’t in tears.
