They almost do! After a nine-year engagement, Paulina Gretzky and fiancé Dustin JohnsonWe are so excited to witness their vows being exchanged this weekend
“She’s ready 🤍,” Gretzky, 33, captioned an Instagram Story snap on Thursday, April 21, sitting on a private jet. “Going to the chapel 🥂.” Her post also included an “It’s finally happening” sticker.
According to her Story caption, the twosome, who got engaged in 2013, will be wed on Saturday April 23. Ahead of the big day, they held a “family night” rehearsal dinner later on Thursday. The California native shared a glimpse at the festive table, admiring its floral centerpieces, votive candle holders, and place settings. She uploaded the social media footage. Bruno Mars’ “Marry You.”
Wayne Gretzky’s daughter and the professional golfer, 37, have been together for nearly a decade before getting in engaged in August 2013.
“I don’t know if people know if me and Dustin are really married or not. We’re not, [but] we’re so in love,” Paulina said on sister-in-law Sara Gretzky’s “The Netchicks” podcast last year. “I feel like everyone is like, ‘What is it? Is he not wanting to or she not wanting to?’ It’s so stupid. … Being just with kids and being happy, I don’t want anything from Dustin other than I love him.”
While the happy couple — who share sons River, 7, and Tatum, 4 — have not rushed down the aisle, they remained blissfully committed to their family.
“I just did things my own way, I just didn’t want to listen to how everyone else viewed things,” the bride-to-be previously explained of their prolonged engagement during an appearance on Craig Conover‘s “Pillow & Beer” podcast in May 2021. “I fell in love with someone so fast and we just had the best thing that’s ever happened to us happen so quickly.”
The model spoke out nearly one year after they were engaged to discuss the difficulties involved in setting a wedding date.
“We wanted so badly to do it this fall, but with his schedule and all, it’s been hard to set a date. It’ll be our special day, and we just want it to be right and to fit,” she told Golf Digest April 2014. “The most important thing for me right now is my relationship with Dustin. It’s what makes me happiest, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. It’s important for people to realize it’s OK to be happy in love. If you don’t want to give up something, that’s OK. But if you’re in love and have to give up something, that’s OK, too.”
The Grown Ups 2 actress celebrated her “P’s Last D” bachelorette party in Saint Barthélemy last month. She teased one important detail about her wedding planning process before her last bash: her all-crucial gown.
“Making my dreams come true. You are a queen & friend @verawang thank you ❤️,” Paulina captioned an April 2021 Instagram snap with designer Vera WangShe was referring to her wedding dress plans.
