Besides, the daughters of Lockwood and Presley were reportedly seen in blue and red velvet gowns. An insider said, “Lisa and Michael's divorce is finally over and he and Steph have been waiting a long time throughout the custody and child support battles before marrying. They were beyond excited. The girls got to be in the wedding and had the best day of their lives, they really feel like love wins and they've finally found happiness. It was a stunning ceremony in the most beautiful setting with all of their family and friends, everyone was thrilled for them both that it was finally happening.”
It has been said that the newlyweds got engaged a few years back. Earlier, a source had said, “He never expected to find love at a time like this, but Stephanie has stood by him every step of the way and they are crazy about each other. Michael is very traditional and wrote a letter to her father to ask for her hand in marriage. The family loves him, and gave their blessing. Michael just wants this nightmare with Lisa to be over and to get on with his life, he wishes she would meet someone else and do the same.”
Meanwhile, a few months back, Presley had spoken about her late son Benjamin Keough, whom she had with her first husband Danny Keough. Benjamin was just 27 when he reportedly took his life in 2020. The devastated mother wrote as reported by PEOPLE, "Death is part of life whether we like it or not — and so is grieving. There is so much to learn and understand on the subject, but here's what I know so far: One is that grief does not stop or go away in any sense, a year, or years after the loss. Grief is something you will have to carry with you for the rest of your life, in spite of what certain people or our culture wants us to believe. You do not 'get over it,' you do not 'move on,' period."
"My and my three daughters' lives as we knew it were completely detonated and destroyed by his death. We live in this every. Single. Day. I'm saying all this, on this particular day, 'National Grief Awareness Day,' in the hopes that I can help raise some awareness of grief and loss. Just know after this day passes, for all your friends who have had a loved one die, every day is grief awareness day. I'm saying this, in the hopes that it helps someone who is suffering as I and my children suffer," the 54-year-old singer-songwriter added.
