Lionel Richie's "dream" came true when he played host at his daughter Nicole's wedding to Joel Madden earlier this month - because he always wanted his children to marry at his home.
Richie wed the Good Charlotte rocker at her father Lionel's Los Angeles estate on 11 December in front of guests including Quincy Jones and Gwen Stefani, and The Simple Life star is pleased she exchanged vows at her father's house - because he'd always dreamed of hosting a fairytale wedding since buying the sprawling property.
Richie tells Britain's Hello! magazine, "When he moved into that house, my dad always told me and my sister Sofia that he wanted us to get married there. My dad loves his family and takes it very, very seriously.
"It's been his dream for his children to get married at his house surrounded by family and that's exactly what happened. He's a real family man."
