Inside Nicole Richie's Wedding & First Photo

Nicole Richie got married a few days ago to her longtime boyfriend and children's father Good Charlotte artist Joel Madden. Their first wedding photo and more wedding deets have hit the net.  Read on to see Nicole's fabulous Grace Kelly inspired dress...


Bad girl turned fashion maven mommy Nicole Richie told People.com that she'd always dreamed about getting married in a dress inspired by Princess Grace Kelly's iconic wedding gown.  And she wanted to have a live elephant on-site to bring good luck. And she did it.
On Dec. 11th, Nicole married longtime-boyfriend and the father of her two children, rockstar Joel Madden.  The uber private ceremony was held at the fab Beverly Hills home of her superstar father, Lionel Richie and officiated by Rev. Run.

It was truly a family affair with the couple's daughter Harlow, 2, as the flower girl and 15-month-old Sparrow was the ring-bearer.  Cute. I wonder if Lionel sang too.  Y'all know he would grease that jherri curl up any chance he gets...
The wedding tent was made to look like a French garden and the fab wedding dress was designed by Marchesa.  And if that wasn't enough, Nicole wore two other Marchesa dresses during the special day including a ball-gown skirt crafted from more than 100 yards of hand-draped silk organza and tulle petals. 
Breathtakingly gorgeous dress and she looked beautiful.  Congrats to the Maddens!
