Paris, France

December 17, 1994

Heather Locklear and Richie Sambora were married on December 17, 1994 in Paris, France. The Episcopalian ceremony took place at The American Cathedral, a neo-Gothic structure near the River Seine.

The 25 guests in attendance included Jon Bon Jovi. The bride walked down the aisle in an imported lace dress by “Dynasty” designer, Nolan Miller, and clutched a bouquet of pink roses. The groom wore a white stand-up collar dress coat.

The couple were legally married in a civil ceremony at the groom’s New Jersey residence two days earlier, but chose a second, more lavish ceremony in Paris to celebrate with family and friends

Following the nuptials, a reception was held at the Ritz Carlton Paris, where guests toasted the newlyweds and the bride waved at onlookers from a balcony above.

The couple celebrated their marriage with a honeymoon in Hawaii.
