Abby Champion and Patrick Schwarzenegger's love story is one for the ages. The couple first crossed paths in 2015 during a casual night out in Los Angeles, where a mutual friend facilitated their introduction. Sparks flew, and Patrick quickly secured Abby's number, kicking off a romance that would lead to the altar.

Fast forward eight years, and Patrick proposed during a serene morning beach stroll in Santa Monica. The ordinary backdrop transformed into a magical moment when Abby noticed a heart crafted from roses in the sand. "It was intimate and everything I had ever imagined," she recalled.

This September, the couple celebrated their love with a breathtaking three-day wedding in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho—an event meticulously planned by Ashley Graham Events, with Patrick getting hands-on. Abby grinned, "It's so Patrick to dive into the details; he helped with so much, which I absolutely loved."

The festivities kicked off on September 4 with a cozy farm-to-table rehearsal dinner. Abby glowed in a dreamy Zimmerman gown, while Patrick chose a stylish powder blue suit from Tom Ford. The following evening brought a Western-themed barbecue at Gozzer Ranch, where Abby donned a long-sleeved lace Bec + Bridge dress paired with chic cowboy boots and a matching hat. "Western night was a whole different vibe, and honestly, one of the most fun looks of the weekend!" she enthused.

The grand wedding ceremony unfolded on September 6, with Abby walking down the aisle in a custom silk wool gown designed by Danielle Frankel. The gown featured a unique silk overskirt with hand-painted lining, complemented by opulent opera gloves and a delicate veil. Abby shared, "The dress and the designer were incredibly important to me. I wanted someone I felt completely comfortable with—someone I could share my thoughts with freely. From the moment I met Danielle, I knew she was the one."

Patrick, waiting under a floral arch in a bespoke tuxedo crafted by Haider Ackermann for Tom Ford, looked dashing, embodying the elegant sophistication of their celebration. Abby praised the design house's new direction, mentioning the significance of this look being Ackermann's debut wedding attire.

Their ceremony was officiated by Abby’s father, set against the stunning backdrop of Lake Coeur d’Alene and the Rocky Mountains. Keeping decor minimal, Abby opted for simple white roses and hydrangeas, saying, "I was a little terrified of bees, so I wanted to avoid anything too elaborate. It turned out perfectly!"

After the vows were exchanged, guests enjoyed a boat ride to the Hagadone Event Center for the cocktail hour and reception. Following heartfelt speeches, Abby changed into a second stunning gown from Danielle Frankel, showcasing a playful hand-painted floral design with organza accents. She accessorized with unique pearl earrings designed by her bridesmaid, Kelsey Kershner.

Reflecting on their wedding, Abby expressed disbelief at how quickly it all passed. "I still can’t believe it’s over; it flew by like a dream. I’m so excited to start this next chapter with Patrick!" Their whirlwind romance culminated in a beautiful celebration that seamlessly blended love, family, and fun.
