Their enduring love story, which began at an Emmys party in 2015, continues to captivate fans as they reflect on a year of marriage and the significant personal touches that made their wedding day truly unique.
The highly anticipated first wedding anniversary of beloved actress Lana Condor and her husband, actor-musician Anthony De La Torre, arrived with a wave of adoration from fans and fellow celebrities alike. On Monday, October 27, Condor, known for her starring role in the Netflix hit To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, marked the special milestone by sharing a heartfelt message and a series of never-before-seen photos from their Californian wedding on Instagram.
“With you: always the happiest, always the luckiest. You’re my home, I love you madly. Happy 1 year of marriage my love 🤍,” Condor, 28, penned to her husband, 31. De La Torre reciprocated the sentiment in the comments, declaring himself the “Luckiest man on earth,” a testament to their deep affection.
The Journey Begins: A Hollywood Meet-Cute
The couple’s enchanting love story began nearly a decade ago, long before their fairytale wedding. Condor and De La Torre first crossed paths at an Emmys party in 2015. It was a memorable encounter for Condor, who made the bold move of asking De La Torre for his number by the end of the night. Their unique meet-cute even involved a playful joke: “What do you call a pile of kittens?” to which he replied with the punch line: “A meowntain,” as Condor recounted in an interview with Cosmopolitan.
Their romance quickly blossomed, with Condor making their relationship Instagram official on October 25, 2015. Fans soon saw them make their red carpet debut as a couple in May 2017 at the premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, a film in which De La Torre notably played a young Jack Sparrow. Throughout Condor’s rise to stardom, especially with the success of the To All the Boys franchise, De La Torre has remained her steadfast support, even penning love letters, a sweet gesture mirroring her character Lara Jean’s romantic world.
From Engaged Sweethearts to Malibu Nuptials
After years of building their loving foundation, Condor and De La Torre announced their engagement in January 2022. The engagement was particularly meaningful, as De La Torre collaborated with Paris Jewellers, a Vietnamese female-owned company, to design Condor’s ring, honoring her heritage. The couple exchanged vows in October 2024 at the picturesque Serra Franciscan Retreat Center in Malibu, California. The venue held profound significance for Condor, as it was a place where she had attended a women’s spiritual retreat with her late mother, Mary, during high school.
Condor shared with Vogue that choosing the retreat allowed her to feel her mother’s presence on their special day, describing the event as “an emotional and joyous occasion,” characterized by a feeling that was “peaceful and deeply present.” The anniversary photos shared by Condor offered a charming glimpse into their wedding, showcasing everything from her getting glam to details of their three-tier wedding cake adorned with white swan figurines, her pearl bridal jewelry, and a stunning blue statement ring.
Behind the Scenes of a Strong Marriage: Rules and Realities
Beyond the wedding day glamour, Condor has offered insights into the bedrock of her strong relationship with De La Torre. She revealed an essential marriage rule they live by: “never go to bed angry with each other.” While acknowledging it’s “harder said than done,” Condor emphasized to People that this practice “ultimately, makes a huge difference.”
The couple also navigates the charming realities of shared life, including differing tastes in entertainment. Condor humorously noted their contrasting preferences for movie date nights: she loves “thrillers, slashers, killing things,” while De La Torre “loves Paddington the Bear.” This candidness further endears them to fans, showcasing the relatable aspects of their Hollywood romance. Furthermore, Condor has openly discussed how De La Torre has been a pivotal source of support for her, particularly in creating a safe space to talk about her struggles with body dysmorphia, a testament to the depth of their emotional connection.
A Creative Partnership: Music and Milestones
Their bond extends into their professional lives, most notably through their musical collaborations. Condor made her music debut alongside De La Torre in February 2020 with their duet, “Raining in London.” This was followed by other heartfelt tracks like “No Way” in December 2020, “Anyone Else But You” in February 2021 (a song inspired by how they met), and “No One Can” in April 2022, which celebrated their engagement. De La Torre has consistently praised Condor’s musical talent, calling her a “powerhouse” and an inspiration.
Their careers also see them supporting each other at premieres and screenings, whether it’s De La Torre by Condor’s side for her projects like To All the Boys or Boo, Bitch, or Condor championing De La Torre’s music releases. This mutual respect and collaboration underscore a partnership that thrives both personally and professionally.
Looking Ahead: Home, Family, and Future Dreams
The couple’s first year of marriage marks another chapter in their journey. While the wedding itself saw some delays due to their shared goal of buying and renovating a home, their commitment remained unwavering. As Condor noted in December 2022, “Weddings are expensive; homes are expensive,” highlighting the practicalities of building their life together. Despite the adjustments, their focus has always been on establishing a secure and loving home.
Their future looks bright, filled with the promise of more shared adventures, creative endeavors, and a deepening bond. As they celebrate their first anniversary, Lana Condor and Anthony De La Torre continue to be a beacon of enduring love in Hollywood, admired by fans for their genuine connection and inspiring journey together.
