Amy/Getty Images for SXSW  by [Raisa Bruner](https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/)  ## Raisa Bruner Jan 22, 2018 9:18 PM UTC Sophie Turner — also known as [Sansa Stark](http://time.com/5053939/game-of-thrones-sophie-turner-sansa-stark-season-8-fate/) — won’t be tying the knot with fiancé Joe Jonas until after the next season of[ _Game of Thrones_ has wrapped](http://time.com/5088555/game-of-thrones-season-8-premiere-date-2/). But she’s already selected her bridesmaids, and naturally her _Thrones_ costar and fellow Stark [Maisie Williams](http://time.com/5095394/game-of-thrones-maisie-williams-coraline-jones/) is on her list. In an interview with [_Radio Times_](http://www.radiotimes.com/news/tv/2018-01-21/maisie-williams-reveals-she-is-going-to-be-sophie-turners-bridesmaid/), Williams let slip that her friend Turner had already popped the bridal party question. “I’ve already got it,” she noted about her role as a bridesmaid. As for Turner’s plans, she had this to say: “We’re waiting until this season’s done until we get into any of that, but I think she’s already let her little heart wander and imagine.” The [DNCE singer](http://time.com/4909946/bonnie-tyler-total-eclipse/) and Turner have [been engaged](http://time.com/4983806/sophie-turner-joe-jonas-relationship-timeline/) since October after appearing to see each other for about a year, and held their engagement party in the fall. Williams and Turner, meanwhile, [have been pals](http://time.com/4801073/maisie-williams-sophie-turner-game-of-thrones/) since the hit HBO drama started filming back in 2011, appearing on red carpets together all the time — and supporting each other on social media. The final season of the mega-series won’t air until 2019, bringing a close to one of the [biggest shows on TV](http://time.com/5035335/kit-harington-game-of-thrones-gupowder/) and a career-defining experience for both of the young actresses. In the meantime, Williams is promoting the animated movie _Early Man_ and will appear in the upcoming X-Men offshoot [_New Mutants_](http://time.com/4853722/comic-con-2017-movies-television/item//), while Turner will star in another X-Men installment, [_Dark Phoenix._](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6565702/?ref%5F=nm%5Fflmg%5Fact%5F1) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5113285/maisie-williams-bridesmaid/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5113285/maisie-williams-bridesmaid/"},"headline":"Maisie Williams Will Be a Bridesmaid in Sophie Turner's Wedding Because the Stark Sisterhood Outlives Everything","datePublished":"2018-01-22T21:18:17.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:49:57.363Z","description":"Once a Stark sister, always a Stark sister","url":"https://time.com/5113285/maisie-williams-bridesmaid/","keywords":["Newsfeed","game of thrones","celebrities","Weddings"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7412741e0824ad54/6988f9194ee262445f310951/sophie-turner-maisie-williams.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt7412741e0824ad54/6988f9194ee262445f310951/sophie-turner-maisie-williams.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Featured Session: Game of Thrones - 2017 SXSW Conference and Festivals","caption":"How Maisie Williams and Sophie Turner","creditText":"Amy/Getty Images for SXSW","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5113285/maisie-williams-bridesmaid/","name":"Maisie Williams Will Be a Bridesmaid in Sophie Turner's Wedding Because the Stark Sisterhood Outlives Everything"}}]}] ```
