Elvis Presley's Granddaughter Shares More Wedding Details: Dakota Johnson and Kristen Stewart Had Big Parts
It was certainly a wedding fit for the granddaughter of rock 'n' roll. Riley Keough, the daughter of Lisa Marie Presley and musician Danny Keough, is sharing more details from her intimate wedding, which took place in a wine cave at Calistoga Ranch in Napa, California on Feb. 4.
The 25-year-old actress wore a long-sleeved vintage French lace Delphine Manivet gown down the candlelit aisle where 80 family members and friends — including John Travolta and Kelly Preston, Kristen Stewart, Cara Delevingne, and Zoe Kravitz — watched her say "I do" to Ben Smith-Petersen.
“I wanted the dress to be simple and long sleeved and made of lace,” Riley told U.K.'s Hello! magazine. "Delphine made exactly what I wanted. I’m not very flashy, I wanted it to be very simple.”
Naturally, Elvis Presley's granddaughter had serious star power playing various role during her nuptials. Fifty Shades of Grey actress Dakota Johnson was a bridesmaid while Stewart (who co-starred in The Runaways with Keough) gave a speech.
"I'm writing a poem for the wedding of one of my best friends. And that's oddly taken up a lot of me, recently," she told Interview magazine ahead of the ceremony.
Riley's brother Ben Keough served as a groomsman, her 6-year-old twin sisters Finley and Harper were the flower girls, and her father and stepfather, Michael Lockwood, both performed in the wedding band.
"It was the most beautiful, amazing, fun day and night," she told the mag. "It was every single person I love in one place. I didn't want it to end." Ben Smith-Petersen — whom she met shooting the upcoming film Mad Max: Fury Road — added, "I'd say it was the best day of my life. I don't want to be cliché, but it was. I wouldn't change anything.”
Except maybe one thing… Riley's French bulldog Grubs couldn’t be a part of the wedding after blowing his chance the day before.
“[He] ended up misbehaving during the wedding rehearsal so we had to tell him he couldn’t be the ring dog any more, sadly,” she said. “He was very naughty.”
At least there was no "the dog ate my dress" scenario.
