According to insider sources, Richie loves that her husband keeps their lives out of the public eye. According to Us Magazine, the two of them are “homebodies but also enjoy going out together.”
Wedding Details
The two tied the knot on April 22 in a glamorous South France wedding. Richie wore a stunning custom Chanel gown to say “I do” and didn’t shy away from having multiple outfit changes throughout the day.
Richie wore three different custom-made Chanel dresses throughout the big day. Her main wedding dress featured an “S&E” embroidered with the date underneath to signify something blue for the wedding.
“It is such magic,” Richie said, describing the dress which she showed off ahead of time in an exclusive with Vogue. “I honestly think Elliot is going to love it. He is my biggest cheerleader when it comes to anything I wear. If he doesn’t cry, I’ll be very sad.”
