Idris Elba weds Sabrina Dhowre
British Vogue reports that Idris Elba married his longtime sweetheart, Sabrina Dhowre in Marrakesh, Morocco on 26 April 2019. They posted three images of the happy couple and there will apparently be more in the July 2019 issue of British Vogue.
The beautiful bride
Sabrina looked stunningly beautiful when they exchanged their vows at the Ksar Char Bagh Hotel in Marrakesh. She wore a classic off-the-shoulder white A-line gown by Vera Wang.
Idris never looked better
The happy bridegroom was dressed up in a bespoke suit by Ozwald Boateng. He looks so good, this image will no doubt break quite a few ladies' hearts!
The Elbas, partying before the big day
The couple, their friends and family enjoyed a “colours of the souk” themed dinner the night before the wedding and it looks like they were enjoying themselves. Idris and Sabrina then attended a party on Saturday at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, which reportedly had a wonderfully festive atmosphere.
The wedding was kept secret
As reported by the Mirror on Twitter, the actual wedding ceremony was held in secret, obviously to avoid the paparazzi ruining the day.

Idris Elba got down on one knee to propose
Idris and Sabrina became engaged in February last year, after Elba dramatically went down on one knee to propose, during a screening of his movie “Yardie” at the Rio Cinema in Dalston, East London. The cinema naturally had bragging rights about the romantic moment on Twitter.

The proposal was caught on camera
Below is a screengrab from a video taken in the cinema, showing Idris on bended knee and Sabrina no doubt feeling surprised and thrilled, all at once!
Third time lucky for Idris Elba
Elba and Dhowre reportedly started dating in early 2017. Sabrina is a model and a former Miss Vancouver. Let’s hope it’s third time lucky for Idris, as he was previously married to Hanne Norgaard and Sonya Hamlin. Elba, 46, has two children from his former marriages, Isan Elba and Winston Elba.
