Patrick Schwarzenegger ties the knot with model Abby Champion during intimate ceremony overlooking Idaho lake

* Patrick Schwarzenegger, known for delaying his wedding to film the newest season of “The White Lotus,” has now been confirmed as a married man by the Daily Mail.

The Daily Mail’s exclusive photographs capture a heartfelt moment as the dashing groom, aged 31, declared “I do” to his radiantly beautiful bride, Abby Champion, during a cozy lakeside wedding ceremony.

The Daily Mail recently published stunning photos of a touching moment when the charming 31-year-old groom exchanged vows with his elegant blonde bride, Abby Champion, in an intimate lakeside wedding setting.

They got married in a picturesque afternoon ceremony at the elite Gozzer Ranch Country Club, situated in the scenic town of Coeur D’Alene, Idaho.

Abby, the model, donned a dreamy, long-skirted, sleeveless dress in cream, accessorized elegantly with a long veil, as her partner Patrick looked sharp in a matching cream tuxedo and formal trousers of black.

The wedding was held on a cliff with a view of Lake Coeur D’Alene, where Patrick’s father, the actor Arnold (age 78), was among the attendees.

During his tenure, the former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, often referred to as ‘The Governator,’ was joined by his ex-wife Maria Shriver, age 69, elegantly dressed in a vibrant red gown.

As an over-the-moon admirer, let me share that not only was Abby’s special day graced by her loving parents, Greg and Laura, but I also had the pleasure of witnessing the radiant Laura in a dreamy, airy lilac dress, posing for memorable photographs. What a sight to behold!

Additionally present were Patrick’s sibling Katherine (aged 35) along with her spouse Chris Pratt (at 46 years old), and Abby’s fashion-model sister Baskin.

The bridesmaids adorned themselves in stylish, buttery yellow dresses, while Patrick’s groomsmen donned sleek, formal black tuxedos.

The pair have been residing in Idaho for at least Thursday, with sightings of them having fun by the lake occurring on Friday.

In simpler terms, Patrick cooled off from the 89-degree heat by swimming in the lake, while Abby (now his wife) was photographed enjoying a boat ride with a friend on a speedboat.

Events at the exclusive, member-exclusive Gozzer Ranch Golf & Country Club, featuring a lavish three-day wedding celebration, begin at a cost of $20,000.

Similar to Patrick and Abby, many couples opt to tie the knot at the ranch’s stunning Lake Club, perched on a basalt rock cliff that offers breathtaking views of Lake Coeur D’Alene.

Other options include a golf tee with panoramic views of the lake and a bucolic private orchard.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, let me share a bit about my favorite getaway spot – Gozzer Ranch. Though my dear friends Arnold (who’s quite the rancher) has his own beautiful abode in Ketchum, Idaho, Patrick and Abby often choose to vacation at this extraordinary location. In fact, they were spotted soaking up the summer sun on the lake in July 2022, making it an unforgettable sight!

During that time, Patrick was also accompanied by his younger brother Christopher, as well as their mutual friends Olivia Jade Giannulli (age 25) and her sibling Isabella (age 26).

The much-anticipated day marked another joyous occasion in the sequence of their wedding celebrations, tracing back to the bride’s bachelorette party held in Alabama.

The event occurred at Rosemary Beach, a prestigious Florida beach town located on the Panhandle, renowned for its pristine white sand coastline.

Abby shared on Instagram photos capturing moments from her bachelorette celebration, which included fun-filled activities such as bike rides and beach outings, along with a lively night out at a nearby pub.

As a devoted admirer, I incorporated decorative elements featuring my future spouse, Patrick, along with bachelorette gifts such as crystal and golden friendship bracelets, and luxury items from skincare brands like Barefaced and Ilia.

The newlywed pair have been a couple since 2015, and they revealed their forthcoming union in a shared Instagram post in December 2023, with the caption: ‘Together for all Time’.

Previously this year, Patrick mentioned that their marriage would have happened earlier if he hadn’t landed the prestigious part as Saxon Ratliff in the third season of the beloved show, The White Lotus, before tying the knot.

During an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show last May, Patrick shared that about a year and a half prior, they had become engaged, and the moment was a special and wonderful one for them.

A few days on, I reserved the White Lotus, and I said to Abby something along the lines of, “Despite our current level of excitement and upcoming marriage this year, I’ve gone ahead and booked the White Lotus.

However, it looks like we’ll need to move things forward. I’ve been assigned to work on ‘White Lotus’, and I’ll be filming this project for the upcoming seven months in Thailand.

Thankfully, the 31-year-old’s spouse was understanding about the move and willingly agreed to delay their wedding.

Patrick told Barrymore: ‘She was so happy. She was ecstatic because she was a huge fan.’

In the very same conversation, he enthusiastically praised Champion and confessed that she was already out on a date with someone else when they initially crossed paths.

In my account, we crossed paths when she happened to be out on a date with another acquaintance of mine. I found myself joining in that gathering.

As things stood, everything was above board. For a span, she seemed uninterested, but eventually, our paths led us to a well-deserved date together.

He commented, ‘Throughout the years, my affection for her grew deeper and deeper, enchanted by the person she was transforming into and our evolving relationship.’
