James Middleton and Alizee Thevene were forced to delay their wedding plans
As People reported, Middleton and Thevenet got engaged in September 2019 and were due to get married the following year in May 2020. However, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the pair were forced to delay their wedding plans. In September 2020, the pair celebrate one year of their engagement with a vacation to Italy.
"It's a year since I asked Alizee to marry me ... what a year it's been! Two homes lockdown two attempts at a wedding, a litter of [dogs], launching of new company ... a beard shave and much more but the best part is that I get to share it with you @alizeethevenet and I can't wait to take on whatever the future holds for us," Middleton wrote on Instagram at the time.
According to The Mirror, Middleton and Thevenet first met three years prior to their wedding ceremony in 2018, after the pair bumped into one another at a private members club in West London.
