Fifth Harmony’s Ally Brooke marries Will Bracey in intimate Bel-Air ceremony

Fifth Harmony alum Ally Brooke tied the knot with Will Bracey in a private Los Angeles wedding featuring personal vows

Fifth Harmony alum Ally Brooke and longtime partner Will Bracey tied the knot on May 3 in a private sunset ceremony at the Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles. The couple, who got engaged in December 2023, opted for an elopement with only their officiant, Pastor Judah Smith, present. “Married life is the most incredible feeling I’ve ever felt,” Brooke told PEOPLE. “I love being a wife, and I love my husband so much.”

Brooke, 31, wore a Lee Petra Grebenau gown as she walked down the aisle to a live violinist playing Kari Jobe’s “Holy Spirit.” Despite initially planning a larger celebration, the couple decided just weeks prior to keep it small and intimate. “We both would’ve loved our families and some friends there, but I’m forever grateful we did it this way,” said Brooke. “It couldn’t have been more intimate or incredible.”

The couple worked with Kelsey Events on the planning and chose Smith as their officiant due to a long-standing connection dating back over a decade. “Even before we had a relationship with him, I dreamed of having him as our pastor,” Brooke said. “His words were powerful over us, and it was unforgettable. We were all sobbing.”

Brooke finalized her personal vows just hours before the wedding after staying up the night before to write them. “In the morning, I just tweaked a word or two,” she recalled. The couple shared both traditional and personal vows during the ceremony.

“Our families were incredibly supportive,” Brooke said. “They told us, ‘If you want it to be just you, it should be just you.’” Bracey added, “We’ll celebrate with everyone this fall, but I’m so glad we did it this way.” Looking ahead, the couple plans to honeymoon this summer and hopes to start a family in the future.
