Billie Lourd announces marriage to Austen Rydell: See the wedding photos
Billie Lourd is married!
On Tuesday, the 29-year-old actress, who is the daughter of the late Carrie Fisher and granddaughter of the late Debbie Reynolds, announced she married her fiance Austen Rydell in a ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on Saturday.
Lourd and Rydell, who have been dating for several years, announced their engagement in June 2020.
The "American Horror Story" actress shared two photos from her nuptials, simply captioning her post with the date of her wedding, 3/12/22.
She also shared a close-up of her wedding dress on her Instagram story, revealing she wore an off-the-shoulder gown by Rodarte for the special day.
In an interview with Vogue, Lourd revealed Gavin DeBecker and Bruce Wagner, two close friends of her late mother, officiated the ceremony. "In true Carrie fashion, we threw glitter in the air at the end of the ceremony," she said. "It was magical."
She also told the outlet her footwear held special significance.
She said her father, Bryan Lourd, found her shoes for the wedding while he was out shopping one day. He spotted a pair he thought her late mother would like in the '90s.
"It was a month before the wedding, and they told him they take four months to make the shoes," the actress explained to Vogue. "He talked to Mohamad, the manager of the store, and told him when the wedding was and asked him if he could somehow rush them, and he magically made it happen!"
"When he came to pick up the shoes, it turned out my dad's hunch about my mom was right," she continued. "Mohamad told him that my mom used to shop at their store in New York City in the '90s. The perfect shoe turned out to literally be the perfect shoe. It was serendipity!"
The actress said her afterparty look was inspired by the "iconic dance outfits" that her late grandmother, Debbie Reynolds, wore on her shows.
Lourd and Rydell announced the birth of their first child, a son named Kingston Fisher, in September 2020.
