Paramore’s Hayley Williams Just Had the Rocker Wedding of Our Dreams: See the Photos!
If there was ever a match made in rock and roll heaven, this is it: Paramore lead singer Hayley Williams and New Found Glory guitarist Chad Gilbert tied the knot on February 20 in perfect punk fashion, and we have photos and details from the big event! Check it out:
Williams wore a two-piece Vera Wang dress with a short skirt and tulle overlay that showed off her myriad of tattoos and, of course, her black Doc Martens, while Gilbert sported Converse hi-tops with his black suit and tie. For the reception, Williams changed into custom Vans sneakers and a UNIF top embellished with her husband’s name “Chad” in red stitching across the front.
The venue for the nuptials—the Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tenn.—was more than just a nod to the couple’s music careers. Williams and her Paramore bandmates helped to reopen and restore the historic theater after it was shut down in 2007.
And the cake was, in fact, not a cake at all, but a three-tiered, three-flavored, 100-layer doughnut cake. The creation was a first for Five Daughters Bakery, which made the cake along with 100 doughnuts in Paleo and vegan options that featured quotes iced on them such as, “I like your butt” and “You’re so punk rock.” And naturally such a unique cake—and couple—would call for more than just your everyday cake toppers. The bride and groom opted for action figures by Super 7 Funko Reaction Figures that were modeled after Leeloo from The Fifth Element and Sloth from The Goonies.
And what would a wedding be without the whole family there, not to mention the bride and groom’s bandmates and the couple’s cute pup, Alf?
So cool. For more wedding inspiration, look at these engagement rings and wedding dresses from the last 100 years:
