Fairy tales do exist. For proof, look no further than Zoë Kravitz' Instagram feed. The actress, singer, and member of one of Hollywood's most fascinating families just uploaded 15 never-before-seen photos from her wedding to actor Karl Glusman.

Technically, the ceremony took place on June 29, 2019. However, the 31-year-old superstar waited until December 31, the last day of 2019, to share the wedding's splendor with her 5.2 million Instagram followers.

The photos manifest a kind of dream world, in which all your best friends are famous, all houses are lavish 18th-century mansions, and Jason Momoa, in a white suit, is there to lead you down the aisle.

Kravitz and Glusman, also 31, were married on the sweeping staircase of her father Lenny Kravitz's three-story townhouse, located on a secluded street of Paris's exclusive 16th arrondissement. Kravitz appears to have lifted his strict no-shoe policy for the wedding.

One particularly tender photo captures a moment in the Kravitz-Bonet-Momoa clan's history. Before descending to meet Glusman on the staircase's platform, Kravitz paused with her family. Kravitz's parents, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz, divorced in 1993, but reunited to support their daughter. In addition to her parents, Kravitz is supported by her stepdad, Game of Thrones star Jason Momoa. Momoa and Bonet's children, Lola Iolani, 12, and Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha, 10, also cheer their older sister on.

Kravitz's family has moved beyond break-ups to form an unconventional, but tight-knit, unit. "Our families are blended," Lenny Kravitz told the U.K. Times. "I love her husband [Momoa]—he's like a brother to me—and I love the kids. It's beautiful, but it takes work."

At the wedding, Momoa sported a particularly memorable look: He paired an all-white suit with Arizona Birkenstock sandals. Momoa's style is representative of the entire wedding. Guests seemed to emphasize playfulness in their outfits.

Even Kravitz's dress, designed by longtime friend Alexander Wang, is slightly unusual—but undeniably chic. The boat-necked gown featured a drop waist and a full-bodied skirt that ended a few inches above the soon-to-be-Catwoman's ankles. Kravitz paired the ballerina-esque dress with a headband and flats. She saved her edgier look for the rehearsal dinner, where she wore all-white biker shorts and a see-through crochet dress.

Kravitz posted other highlights from the ceremony, including their kiss at the altar and their four wedding cakes.

The black-and-white photos are like a game of Where's Waldo, only Waldo is "famous celebrities," and Waldo is everywhere. Eddie Redmayne, Donald Glover, and Alia Shawkat were spotted in the crowd shots. Cara Delevingne, Ashley Benson, Chris Pine, Annabelle Wallis, and Denzel Washington all attended the rehearsal dinner, and were likely at the ceremony.

Kravitz posted individual photos with other guests, including a stunning shot with her Big Little Lies co-stars, Shailene Woodley, Reese Witherspoon, Laura Dern, and Nicole Kidman (who was once engaged to Kravitz's rock star father in 2003). In the comments, Witherspoon, who plays Madeline in the show, wrote, "Top moment of 2019!" Dern commented, "The most special day."

In another photo, Kravitz beams with Alicia Keys, whose memoir is out in 2020–and will be the first book to be published under Oprah's new imprint.

The joy-filled ceremony befits one of Hollywood's cutest and most down-to-earth couples. Kravitz and Glusman first met at a bar in 2016, in an outing organized by a mutual friend.

“I love that it wasn’t on an app and that it wasn’t on a movie set,” Kravitz told British Vogue of their their meeting. “My friend knew that I wanted to meet someone—not even to get serious—and he brought Karl. I instantly felt something."

For Kravitz, it was like at first sight. But Glusman, who already had a crush on Kravitz, was initially too shy to initiate a conversation. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Kravitz revealed that she purposefully hung around outside the bar, so that she could invite him to an afterparty at her house.

From there, Kravitz and Glusman's relationship developed quickly. First, they moved in together. Then, a year-and-a-half after meeting, Glusman proposed to Kravitz in their shared home—in sweatpants.

"I can be my weirdest self around him,” Kravitz told Rolling Stone. “It’s so relaxing to be around someone where you can be a hundred percent how you feel.”

A month after their wedding, Glusman posted a photo on Instagram that sums up the couple's off-kilter and romantic vibe. He's wearing a biker jacket adorned with a painted portrait of Kravitz.

"I believe our stars were written before we met, "Karl + Zoë, ride or die into the sunset," Glusman wrote. Congratulations, you crazy kids. May your ride into the sunset be a long one.
