Rock couple Avril Lavigne and Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger wanted their wedding weekend to be one to remember.
“I wanted to make sure it’s a crazy vacation and an experience of a lifetime for our guests,” Lavigne told Hello! magazine. “I’ve been planning this wedding for a really long time.”
According to the magazine, the French nuptials included a candlelit ceremony on Monday attended by 110 friends and family, with Lavigne flouting bridal convention with a black Monique Lhuillier dress. The Canada Day event was the culmination of three days of celebrations.
The couple had been engaged since last August, after sessions for her upcoming fifth album turned romantic.
“When you’ve got that ring on your finger that you get to look at every single day, and you get to call that other person husband or wife, it’s a really special feeling,” Kroeger said.
