Sofia Richie totally wins for coolest wedding entertainment. Not only did the 24-year-old model's father, iconic musician Lionel Richie, play the piano and sing while Sofia and her groom, music executive Elliot Grainge, danced during their April 22 wedding at the Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, France, but so did some other famous family members.

Sofia has shared snippets of video of her Chanel dress [1] and from the entire wedding weekend on social media since saying "I do." A new video posted to TikTok on April 24 includes clips of Lionel's performance. Sofia's sister, Nicole Richie, introduces their father as "Lionel effing Richie" in the footage before video shows him playing his song "Stuck on You."

There's also footage of Sofia practicing her walk down the flower-lined aisle while her friends sing Stephen Sanchez's "Until I Found You" — a clip closely followed by one of the actual aisle walk and the actual Sanchez performing his single.

Nicole's husband, Joel Madden, and his brother Benji Madden, of Good Charlotte fame, additionally sang their hit "Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous" at what appeared to be an afterparty. In video of the moment, Sofia jumps around on the stage with the rockers.

Heading into the wedding day, Sofia's friends had shared photos from France on Instagram, including snaps from her bridal breakfast. Guests at the wedding included family friend Paris Hilton; Cameron Diaz; and Summer Fridays cofounders Lauren Ireland and Marianna Hewitt.

Sofia previously shared a video from her wedding on TikTok [4] in which she tosses her bouquet to her wedding party. It's unclear who catches the flowers, but the video does reveal a better look at the detailing on the bride's stunning white dress.

Nicole also shared a photo of her adjusting her little sister's train on Instagram [5]. She captioned the sweet pic, "I love you more than anything." Sofia responded, "I love you more than life."

Sofia and Grainge first got together [6] in 2021. Sofia confirmed their romance on Instagram in April 2021 with a carousel of photos [7] of the pair. A year later, Grainge proposed to Sofia [8] with a gorgeous emerald-cut diamond ring [9]. "Forever isn't long enough @elliot," she captioned the post.

Not long after their engagement was announced, Sofia's famous father revealed he was thrilled for his daughter and Grainge. "I love Elliot," the "Hello" singer told Access Hollywood [10] at the time. "I've known him since he was 12 . . . It was one of those things where I don't have to go back and check out the kid. I know who it is."

Prior to their wedding, the couple were spotted vacationing together [11] in the South of France. The vacation clearly inspired their choice of wedding venues.
