Ricki Lake eloped with Christian Evans on April 8, 2012.

The wedding took place at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California. The couple said their vows under an archway of flowers in a secluded spot on the property.

The only guests in attendance were their dogs, Jeffie and Pacha, who each wore a lavender boutonniere on their collar.

The bride wore a chiffon wedding dress designed by “Dancing with the Stars” costumer Daniela Gschwendtner. She carried a bouquet of roses and lilacs by The Hidden Garden in organic shades of purple and green.

During the twenty minute ceremony, the couple recited personal vows. Afterwards, they headed for the beach where they posed for pictures with their dogs.

The newlyweds spent their wedding night in the Ranch’s Eucalyptus Cottage.
