<p dir="ltr">Sofia also said that she was really nervous and high on adrenaline before walking down the aisle, but her father’s words comforted her before the big moment.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“I was really nervous before I was going to walk down the aisle—it was like I had stage fright, my adrenaline was so high. We had over seven minutes to chat though, and he said: ‘You’re the love of my life, and I’m so happy for you.’”</p>
<p dir="ltr">“It was very emotional, and I feel so lucky that I have my parents. I’m very grateful,” she said.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In another touching post, Lionel shared some sweet photos of him walking his youngest daughter down the aisle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">“My little girl is all grown up and starting her own journey with the love of her life. You'll always be my little bird, but I'm so proud of the woman you've become. Endless Love to you and Elliot. 🤍” he captioned the post.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sofia stunned the crowd in a custom Chanel halter gown with a long veil embellished with resin water droplets which glistened as she walked down the aisle.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sofia had also added subtle details to represent the couple’s love, including an embroidered heart and a blue embroidered S&E on the inside of her dress.</p>
<p dir="ltr">For her rehearsal dinner and after-party Sofia also donned custom Chanel dresses which allowed her to dance and move more freely.</p>
