Lily Collinsis settling into married life withCharlie McDowellafter tying the knot last month.
The two-time Golden Globe nominee, 32,opened up about being a wifeduring a recent interview withNylon. “It’s so nice to be able to finally say that I’m a wife, [but] sometimes it makes me feel very old,” Collins said.
She and McDowell, 38,got marriedin a beautiful outdoor wooded venue at Dunton Hot Springs in Dunton, Colorado, in early September. As they’re both of British-American descent, they wanted to include a bit of that heritage in the celebration.
“It was very reminiscent of the rolling hills and forests in England. We’re both dual citizens, so it was something that we wanted to lean into,” she explained.
Collins managed to plan their entire weddingwhile filming season 2ofEmily in Paris, on location in the City of Love. “I was in the midst of planning it while shooting the show, nine hours ahead. Finishing filming and then Zooming with people and answering emails,” she recounted. “[It] was very exciting and great; it was justallhappening at once.”

The couple has since returned from athree-and-a-half-week honeymoon, which included a jaunt to Copenhagen. They first visited during a break from filming, when they fell in love with the Scandinavian destination and “these incredible places that are very eco-friendly and about sustainability, embracing nature, and what is indigenous to the area.”
“It was very much an adventure, foodie trip that is atypical of a honeymoon. It was really experience-driven,” Collins said of their recent romantic getaway.
Now that they’re getting back to work, McDowell is preparing to direct his bride inGilded Rage, based on the infamous 2015 murder of investment banker Thomas Gilbert Sr. They previously worked together on their upcoming thrillerWindfall, about a young couple who arrives at their vacation home to find it’s been robbed.
