Lionel Richie is a proud father after walking his 24-year-old daughter Sofia Richie down the aisle on her wedding day.
Sofia married music executive Elliot Grainge in a lavish wedding held in the South of France at the weekend.
Lionel's other children, Nicole Richie and Miles Brockman Richie, were also spotted at the ceremony. The 'Hello' crooner's ex-wife Diane Alexander - Sofia's mother - and his current partner, Lisa Parigi, also posed for pictures with the bride.
"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. @sofiarichie @elliot." Lionel captioned a picture with his daughter.

Sofia also wore a custom Chanel dress on her big day. She wore a beaded dress with a criss-cross neckline.
“I really think Elliot is going to love it. He's honestly my biggest cheerleader when it comes to anything that I wear. If he doesn't cry, I'm going to be sad," she told Vogue.
Sofia added that she can't wait to marry her prince charming.
"I’m so excited to be married just because I’m marrying Elliot, I know that sounds so cheesy, but he’s the man of my dreams."
Sofia then changed into a look that was originally worn by supermodel Claudia Schiffer on the Chanel runway in 1993.
