For Charlie Puth and Brooke Sansone, the essence of home transcends physical boundaries; it's where their hearts resonate in perfect harmony. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter and the 25-year-old public relations maven tied the knot on September 7th, amidst the idyllic backdrop of Puth's familial abode nestled in Montecito, California, as Vogue elegantly narrated. Puth himself sealed the news with a heartfelt Instagram post on September 17th, confirming their blissful union.
Sansone, sharing her vision with Vogue, divulged that the familial estate served as the perfect canvas for their exquisite wedding, a seamless blend of tradition and modern unconventionality. "I envisioned a wedding that embraced both timeless customs and a playful twist on the ordinary," she enthused. "Serving up mini hotdogs on gleaming silver platters, for instance, wasn't merely a whimsical touch; it was a testament to my penchant for blending sophistication with a touch of fun."
The weekend's festivities commenced with an intimate rehearsal dinner at the storied San Ysidro Ranch, where love stories like those of President John F. Kennedy and Jackie Kennedy once flourished. Guests dined under the glow of candles, wildflowers, and paper lanterns, while Sansone graced the occasion in a vintage 2001 Chanel trench from Happy Isles, exuding timeless elegance.
As the night progressed, the revelry shifted to Puth's residence, where cocktails and desserts were savored amidst the serene ambiance of the tennis court. The next dawn, amidst the serene embrace of an olive tree in the driveway, the couple exchanged their sacred vows, donning nearly mirror-image gold bands adorned with subtle diamonds. "We yearned for a ceremony that was both minimalist and unforgettable," Sansone reminisced, adding, "Charlie and I found ourselves oddly serene and at peace as we stood there together." She continued, "In that fleeting moment, we realized we'd inadvertently woven the same sentiment into our vows: 'It's always been you.'"
Sansone shimmered in a custom Danielle Frankel gown, a masterpiece of silk wool twill and Chantilly lace, its intricate details mirroring her own exquisite nature. Puth, on the other hand, embraced an unconventional style, donning a Bode double-breasted suit jacket adorned with lace trim and loose cuffs, each embroidered with the heartfelt message "Us, Forever" in crimson thread.
Post-ceremony, guests converged on the pool patio for cocktails before adjourning to a tent for the reception. Sansone transformed into a vision in a Jil Sander dress and mesh kitten heels by Neous, effortlessly shifting from bridal glamour to reception chic. The newlyweds made their grand entrance to the soulful tunes of "Can't Get Enough of Your Love, Babe" by Barry White, before sharing their first dance to Bruce Springsteen's "Jersey Girl," a poignant nod to their love story's Jersey roots.
Sansone confided to Vogue that the entire weekend felt surreal, a dreamlike sequence of cherished moments. "We're still in disbelief that it's all over, but last night was nothing short of magical," she exclaimed. "Being surrounded by all the people we hold dear was pure joy."
In his Instagram announcement, Puth's tribute to his bride was a testament to their unyielding love. "Brooke, my heart belongs to you...always has. With you, I am my truest self. I vow to cherish you every day of this life and beyond. Brooke Ashley Sansone, now Brooke Ashley Puth, thank you for making me the happiest man alive." He concluded, echoing the depths of their connection, "It has always been you."
Their engagement, sealed in September 2023 when Puth flew to New York City mid-tour to propose, marked the culmination of a romance that had been brewing since childhood. The whispers of their courtship first surfaced when they were spotted together at the Global Citizen Festival in September 2022, with Puth later confirming on The Howard Stern Show that Sansone was indeed someone he'd grown up with in New Jersey, adding that it was "nice" to have a long-time acquaintance by his side.
"She's consistently been a beacon of kindness in my life," Puth elaborated, his tone brimming with warmth. "I envision those inevitable moments in the future when life's journey turns rugged—for what is existence without its fair share of challenges and triumphs?—and I have no doubt she'll stand by my side, just as steadfastly."
"Truthfully, the world has instilled a sense of trepidation within me; lately, stepping out into the unknown feels daunting, and with each passing instance, my heart yearns for the comfort of familiarity. The urge to retreat to the embrace of someone whose presence has been a constant in my life intensifies," he added, a hint of nostalgia creeping into his words. "The thrill of venturing out and embracing chaos, as I once did, no longer entices me as it once did."
As Puth subtly divulged glimpses of his blossoming romance with Sansone during the autumn of 2022, their union remained veiled from public scrutiny until the winter chill of December, when he gracefully unveiled their bond on Instagram through a series of photo booth strips, capturing their playful chemistry.
Shortly thereafter, their love story stepped into the limelight as Sansone graced Puth's side on the glittering red carpet of Clive Davis' Pre-Grammy Gala in Los Angeles, February 2023, marking a new chapter in their entwined lives.
Long before their official debut as a couple, Puth had already woven Sansone into his life's tapestry, affectionately addressing her as "Brookie" during a heartfelt Instagram Live session in 2019. Their families' deep-rooted connection was further affirmed by Sansone's father, Paul Sansone Jr., who reminisced in a 2014 tweet about Puth, then a young artist on the rise, as "a great kid" on the Grammy red carpet.
Seven radiant months after their first public appearance as a pair, Puth seized the moment, embarking on a romantic sojourn to New York where he proposed to his beloved. Their engagement was a joyous declaration, shared on Instagram, with Puth penning heartfelt words: "I ventured to New York, seeking the answer to a lifetime's question from my dearest friend—would she be my partner forever? And with a resounding 'yes,' our worlds merged anew. Brookie, you make me the happiest version of myself. My love for you knows no bounds, stretching into eternity."
The celebration that ensued was captured in a series of vibrant photos, showcasing the couple indulging in the ambiance of Lucali, Brooklyn's pizza haven. In the opening frame, they're seen capturing a selfie, glasses of crisp white wine in hand, Sansone's dazzling engagement ring gleaming on her left finger. The subsequent image offers a closer inspection of the teardrop-shaped bauble, as she reaches for another mouthwatering slice of pepperoni pizza, her hand elegantly framed, a testament to their love story in the making.
