Lionel Richie is throwing his daughter Nicole Richie and her fiance Joel Madden a lavish fairytale wedding at his home in Bel Air this weekend.
Preparations have been underway for the past week, with several tented structures and covered walkways in place to provide privacy. A stage has been erected over the pool area as seen in the top photo – lower right corner.
The couple have planned an intimate affair and are expecting 75 family members and close friends.
The bride’s maid of honor is expected to be her best friend Masha Gordon. Serving as best man will be Joel’s twin bro and Good Charlotte bandmate Benji Madden.
The couple, both 31, have been together since 2006 and announced their engagement in February – engagement ring photos.
They have two children: Harlow 2, and Sparrow 1. Recent family photos here.
