and Ryan Reynolds
, in a past joint statement, expressed regret over this wedding choice. “We’re ashamed we were uninformed,”
they admitted with honesty. Reynolds called it “a giant mistake”
that pushed them to learn and grow. They seemed willing to confront painful truths as an indication of wanting to know things that they had overlooked. But how did they come to be tied to a site of both stunning beauty and tragic history, one that was not obvious when they first said I do?
Ryan Reynolds discovered the venue through a Pinterest search, drawn by its stunning visuals but unaware of its deeper legacy. The couple’s wedding spot, nestled in South Carolina’s historic landscape, became more than just a backdrop, sparking outcry and debate—one that still echoes in conversations about their wedding to this day.
The unseen layers behind Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold’s special day
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds got married in 2012 at one quote picturesque, but deeply contentious, wedding venues in the U.S.- the Boone Hall Plantation in South Carolina
. Known for its sprawling oak-lined drive and rustic charm, the estate also holds a painful legacy. Nine preserved brick cabins from the 1800s still stand on site, once used to house enslaved people. The plantation now includes a “Black History in America”
exhibit, Gullah culture presentations, and even a Gullah Luncheon experience for visitors.

The property’s website says it honors the country’s troubled past, but many see a clash in celebrating love at such a historic site. The Cotton Dock nearby remains popular for weddings, with scenic views and open lawns. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ ceremony featured floral displays, pine needle aisles, and vintage charm, yet the world felt the venue’s heavy history overshadowed the sparkle
. Despite the wedding venue fallback, their astrological signs seemingly hint at a love story written far beyond the day itself.
For the astrology buffs, this one is juicy- Blake Lively’s giving textbook Virgo with all the structure and sparkle, while Ryan Reynolds has supposedly got that deep, brooding Scorpio energy. Birth charts say soulmates, but retrogrades exist for a reason, and sometimes, things are not always what they seem.
Blake Lively’s Virgo control vs Ryan Reynold’s Scorpio passion- is this balance or chaos
Just when it seemed Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds had mastered the art of Hollywood’s most adored family
, the cosmos chimed in—with receipts. As reported by The Blast, psychic Ivana Naskova (via spiritual platform Nebula) claims their birth charts are so aligned, even the stars are shipping them.
Whether this reading holds actual weight or just sounds sweet on paper, one thing is for sure—astrology definitely adds an interesting twist to the story. And with recent rumors in the air, the timing could not be more suspiciously on-brand.
In the same feature, Naskova highlights Lively’s ultra-Virgo vibes
—basically, loyalty, structure, and possibly a label maker. Reynolds, a Scorpio with a side of Virgo Rising
, supposedly balances that with intense feelings and top-tier emotional support. Since locking eyes on Green Lantern
in 2010, dating in 2011, and marrying in 2012, these two have powered through four kids, countless roasts, and now some celestial drama. Whether this is fate or just an entertaining astrological fanfic, their universe clearly loves a good plot twist.
