It’s official: Lana Del Rey’s love life is on the rise. A few months after her romance with alligator tour guide Jeremy Dufrene began — the “Born to Die” singer posted an Instagram of “her man” in May 2024 — the two married in an intimate ceremony earlier this week. This wedding isn’t just a rumor: The couple not only received a marriage license in Louisiana on September 23, but also The Daily Mail She also published photos in which the singer can be seen being accompanied to the altar by her father.

Everyone’s raving about the surprise (to us) wedding — and Del Rey’s ethereal bridal look — but we can’t stop thinking about her venue. With privacy a top priority, celebrities often tie the knot at unconventional wedding venues. But instead of opting for a private residence like Kravis or a historic hotel a la Olivia Culpo, Del Rey and Dufrene chose…wait for it…a bayou in Des Allemands, Louisiana.

Located about 35 miles from New Orleans, Des Allemands is often called the “Catfish Capital of the Universe” – and for good reason. The nearby lake is full of “little red worms” that catfish love to eat, and many seafood lovers flock to the area in June for the annual Louisiana Catfish Festival. With the exception of the lush foliage, Des Allemands is relatively simple… and well, swampy. In other words, it’s not the most common way for a Grammy winner to say “I do.”

However, the area seems to be full of sentimental values ​​for the bride and groom. Although Del Rey only recently confirmed their relationship, the “Summertime Sadness” singer posted a picture with Dufrene on Facebook back in 2019. Who knows, maybe the bayou is part of their love story. And in the spirit of a real marriage, the outdoor area was decorated with tents and an array of tables and chairs – proving that even the most unusual locations can be transformed into a wedding backdrop.
