Former F1 star Ralf Schumacher tied the knot with Etienne Bousquet-Cassagne in a glitzy ceremony in St Tropez on Saturday – with the event being filmed to cap their new documentary series.
Dressed in navy blue suits with light blue ties, the pair wed in the stunning French coastal town to kick off what had been billed as a three-day celebration.
The couple were a picture of happiness as they celebrated in front of their loved ones.
Schumacher, 50, and Etienne, who is 14 years his junior, own a home nearby. And cameras from Sky and Wow were there to film the wedding as part of a new documentary series following their lives.
The four-part series, ‘Ralf & Etienne: Wir sagen Ja (We say Yes)’ is already on air with the season finale wedding episode due to be broadcast later this week.
It is expected to include coverage of Bousquet-Cassagne having a facelift ahead of the ceremony, with the 36-year-old keen to have the procedure despite his partner’s reservations.

Cora and Ralf were married for 13 years but their relationship has soured over recent years
Schumacher’s ex-wife Cora sent a heartfelt message in February after it was reported he was remarrying, 19 months after coming out as gay.
The pair tied the knot in 2001 and they were together for 13 years, sharing a son, David.
However, after they split and Schumacher revealed he was in a same-sex relationship, their relationship escalated into a bitter feud, with Cora even burning her wedding dress.
She also made a public plea to Schumacher to leave her alone so she could ‘heal in peace’ after she had reacted angrily to his bombshell, claiming she had ‘wasted her best years’ on him.
But when the marriage was first reported she said she and her new partner Steven Bo Bekendam were happy for the pair, saying: ’Steven and I wish Ralf and Etienne all the best and much happiness.’
Schumacher’s brother Michael, the seven-time F1 world champion, is wheelchair-bound after a horrifying skiing crash in 2013.
