THE LAVISH WEDDING

The pair's star-studded wedding took place in Edmonton. It included celebrities such as Alan Thicke, Gordie Howe, and Paul Coffey, with the ceremony being deemed "the closest thing Edmonton has ever had to a royal wedding."

The people of Edmonton made the couple's wedding day what it was as they turned out in massive crowds to witness the Edmonton Oilers' star say “I do” to his lovely bride.

Well-wishers thronged the streets near the church where the ceremony was performed and also lined the route to the ceremony at St. Joseph’s Basilica.

ALL ABOUT WAYNE

While Paulina has taken after her mom by pursuing acting, her father is a sports star and is arguably hockey's most outstanding player. Wayne is a Canadian-born hockey player and NHL Hall of Famer.

The doting dad played his first full NHL season in 1970-80 for the Edmonton Oilers. Over the next two decades, he dominated the sport, setting a host of league records.

The former head coach eventually retired in 1999 and was inducted into the same year's Hall of Fame. He has been described as a “precise and hard-working” player.

Wayne was just two years old when he first started skating. He was born on January 26, 1961, in Brantford, Ontario, Canada.
