In a ceremony already described as “magical beyond words”, Ariana Grande’s wedding had everything: candlelight gardens, string quartets, soft pink roses…
And then, something no one expected — Ed Sheeran, guitar in hand, quietly stepping forward as the bride walked down the aisle.
He wasn’t on the program. He wasn’t announced. He just… started to sing.
And within moments, every guest was in tears.
The Song? A Brand New One — Written for Ariana
The song, titled “Ever After Now”, was never heard before. According to insiders, Ed wrote it specifically for Ariana and her now-husband — whose name is still being kept private due to their desire for a quiet life.
“This was a gift, not a performance,” one guest whispered. “Ed didn’t even use a mic. It was raw, like a lullaby for love.”
The lyrics included lines like:
“You taught me that forever isn’t someday / It’s right now, in your eyes, every morning…”
Ariana reportedly clutched her bouquet tighter and started crying the moment the chorus hit.
A Longtime Friendship, A Deep Musical Bond
Though the two megastars had never officially released a song together, their musical admiration for one another goes back years.

Ariana once said in an interview:
“Ed writes love like it’s breathing. If I ever get married, I’d want his voice somewhere in the air.”

Ed, in turn, called Ariana’s voice “a weapon of the angels.”
According to a friend of the couple, Ariana’s new husband reached out to Ed personally weeks before the wedding with a simple request:
“If there’s one way I could surprise her… it’s you, with a guitar.”
A Ceremony That Felt Like a Song
The wedding took place at a private estate in Big Sur, California — under a canopy of fairy lights, surrounded by only 40 guests.
No phones. No press.
Just love — and now, legend.
After the vows, Ed returned later that night to perform an acoustic version of “Perfect” for the couple’s first dance.
“No one danced after that,” said one guest. “Because there was nothing left to say.”
Will “Ever After Now” Be Released?
So far, neither artist has confirmed a release date — but fans are already begging.
“If that song isn’t on Spotify by tomorrow, I’m suing my emotions,” one viral tweet joked.
Others speculate it might appear as a hidden track on Ed’s rumored next acoustic album — or perhaps in a live version if Ariana ever returns to touring.
One Night, One Voice, One Moment That Changed Everything
In a world where celebrity weddings often feel staged or distant, Ariana’s ceremony felt like something different — sacred, stripped down, and sung from the heart.
And at the center of it:
A man with a guitar, a girl in a veil,
and a melody that might just echo through forever.
Because sometimes… fairy tales don’t need castles.
Just music, and someone who knows how to sing the truth.
