After announcing their engagement earlier this year, Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have officially tied the knot in a winter-themed ceremony held at the Bride’s father’s home.
The nuptials were nothing short of extravagance with an elephant being delivered to Lionel Ritchie’s home earlier in the day. Giant tents surrounded the estate and a dance floor was constructed over the swimming pool while a large, outdoor kitchen was set-up for the guests.
Joel Madden’s twin brother and fellow Good Charlotte member Benji was the best man and the a-list group of friends included Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, Kris Jenner and Samantha Ronson. Two-year-old Harlow and 14 month old Sparrow, the happy couples children, were the flower girl and pageboy for the glamorous wedding.
According to The Daily Mail, Richie wore a custom-made white Marchessa gown worth over $20, 000 and the pair exchanged rings from celebrity jeweller Neil Lane.
