<p id=”par-1_112″>Matty Healy said “I do” to his love, Gabbriette, the same month <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/matty-healy-lied-future-cruelly-ghosted-taylor-swift-travis-kelce-romance-source-says.html/”>his former fling, Taylor Swift, </a>exchanged vows with NFL star Travis Kelce. Matty and Gabbriette wed on July 18. Taylor and Travis hosted a star-studded ceremony at Madison Square Garden on July 3. While Matty’s mother, Denise Welch, once insisted she was thrilled that Taylor didn’t marry into her family, it seems her son and his former love made the same astrological misstep when picking a wedding day. Both opted to marry in the middle of Mercury retrograde in Cancer. The period is known for miscommunication and, interestingly enough, family drama. Does that spell doom for thier marriages, though? </p>

<p id=”par-2_94″>Mercury retrograde in Cancer began on June 29, 2026, placing Matty Healy and Gabbriette Bechtel’s wedding squarely within its window. Astrologers often advise against making contractual decisions during Mercury retrograde. Since the season tends to stir up issues in the home and within families, it’s best to hold off. In particular, old grievances resurface, and misunderstandings are amplified during the short-lived period. Because Cancer is the sign most closely associated with home, family, and emotional roots, Mercury moving backward through the sign tends to stir up all variety of misunderstandings within the extended family.</p>

<p id=”par-3_53″>For someone stepping into a new marriage, and by extension a new family dynamic, that combination could be a lot to navigate. It is especially true when extended family is deeply invested in the couple, as Welch seems to be based on <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/matt-healy-mom-glad-taylor-swift-isnt-daughter-in-law.html/”>her public musings about the couple </a>and Matty’s previous romantic endeavours.</p>

<p id=”par-4_104″>While getting married during Mercury retrograde isn’t considered a particularly wise decision, it is not all doom and gloom. The wedding date could give rise to family drama. Still, that drama is likely short-lived. considering that the season will wrap up on July 23, just a week after the duo’s wedding date, things might work out just fine. After that, the communication fog associated with Mercury retrograde should lift. Family tension and issues within the extended circle should settle down around then, too. As long as the pairs can navigate their first month of marriage without issue, Mercury retrograde won’t doom their love. </p>
<p id=”par-5_77″>Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, who wed on July 3, will get the same reprieve from Mercury retrograde 20 days <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/news/the-astrological-good-and-bad-behind-taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-wedding-date.html/”>after their nuptials.</a> As we move into a new astrological season, both couples can settle into married life. Only time will tell if the exes’ wedding date choices spell doom for their unions, or if they really did belong with the man and woman who came after. Right now, they both seem thrilled with their choices. </p>
