On Wednesday, Oct. 2, the couple exchanged vows at the picturesque Venus Garden Chapel at Caesars Palace, surrounded by tropical palm trees, Roman architecture, beautiful floral arrangements and their closest friends and family. As the ceremony concluded, a surprise wedding crasher was announced and to the blissful shock of the bride, groom and guests, The Colosseum resident headliner Rod Stewart and three string musicians appeared and performed a special acoustic version of “Have I Told You Lately.” Stewart then personally invited the entire wedding party to celebrate at his Colosseum show, “Rod Stewart: The Hits.”
