Nicole Richie and Joel Madden are Mr. and Mrs.!

Joel Madden and Nicole Richie, who were married on Saturday, at the Academy Awards in March.
The couple exchanged vows on Saturday in a winter-themed wedding at Lionel Richie’s estate in Beverly Hills. Nicole was walked down the aisle by her father. (Aww!)
The ceremony was officiated by

Reverend Run!
The Run-DMC rapper and reality star is also a practicing ordained minister. (Hence the “reverend” in his name, I guess.)
Other guests—there were about 130 total—included Khloe Kardashian, Samantha Ronson and an elephant.
No, really! According to US Weekly, “around 5:40 p.m., observers spotted an elephant arriving in the driveway; the animal was led into a white tent with other revelers.”
Nicole’s best friend, Masha Gordon, was the maid of honor, and Nicole and Joel’s daughter, Harlow, was the flower girl.
There’s still no word on who designed Nicole’s wedding dress!
I bet the whole thing was super-chic!
