The couple wed in 2011 at the 17,000-acre Double RL ranch in Ridgway, Colorado. Lauren, who was walked down the aisle by her father, rode to the ceremony in a horse-drawn carriage.

In an interview with Vogue, David described the occasion like 'a beautiful movie... like you were riding across the old west and you stopped in at a wedding'.

Lauren wore a long-sleeved embellished dress with tulle, lace and crystals that was designed by her father-in-law, and the look was completed with a headpiece around her forehead and a long veil.

'It was like a dream come true,' Lauren said of Ralph designing her wedding gown. 'We sat together and arrived at this silhouette. It isn’t Victorian exactly. I wanted something modern as well, so there is the high-necked collar and puffed shoulders with the large open back.'
