The wedding dress is the best-kept secret since Kate Middleton and her mum popped into Alexander McQueen’s studio.
But after two series of will-they-won’t-they, Downton Abbey’s Lady Mary and Matthew Crawley will get their big day.
And Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary, says it made her start thinking about marriage for real.
Michelle, 30, says: “I felt a bit like Kate Middleton with all the security, but we didn’t want people seeing the dress before the day. I’d never worn a wedding dress – I’ve never filmed an on-screen wedding before. I loved it.
“It’s a truly stunning dress and I’m sure people will make some comparisons with the royal wedding. As we arrived at the church and stepped out of the carriage the crowds were just amazing, with all these supporting artists cheering us on.”
The actress, who lives with her architect boyfriend of three years in London’s trendy Clerkenwell, added: “It felt strange, you get those nerves. It did make me think a little bit about what it would be like to be a bride.”
The details of the much-anticipated wedding were so secret even Michelle’s mother was kept in the dark.
She said: “My mum doesn’t know we get married this time.
“We have to keep storylines from friends and family, and that is hard sometimes. But also I don’t want to spoil it for them because they watch it as fans.”
But as Dan Stevens, who plays Downton heir Matthew, says, after the couple got engaged in the Christmas special, it was about time.
“It was on the cards, wasn’t it?” he laughs. “I think we’d have been hard pushed to stretch out the will-they-won’t they storyline much longer. But there’s still some thrills and spills, it’s not all plain sailing.”
And the 29-year-old agreed their TV nuptials felt like a celebrity bash: “There was quite a lot of security and it was crawling with paparazzi.
“I didn’t actually see Michelle in the dress till she walked down the aisle which was pretty realistic.”
And after so many ups and downs, Michelle says: “What’s different for us now is we’ve been playing those scenes when so much is unsaid, and it’s all stolen moments. Now they’re finally settled.”
