She's been by his side as he recovered from a terrifying health scare.

And Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley looked thrilled as he wed girlfriend Ariana Cooper at the Hotel Bel Air in Beverly Hills on Sunday.

The 35-year-old rocker - whose first wife was Avril Lavigne - appears to have turned his life around after he was hospitalized in April 2014 with kidney and liver failure caused by years of alcohol abuse.

Happy day: Sum 41 singer and new bride Ariana Cooper share a non-alcoholic toast with apple cider after they tied the knot at Hotel Bel Air in Los Angeles on Sunday

Whibley had collapsed in his living room. He was in the hospital for a month, and doctors put him in a medically induced coma as they worked to save his life, at one point admitting they were not sure he would survive the ordeal.

In fact, doctors told the musician that his organs were so damaged from years of alcohol abuse that even one drink could kill him.

The singer took their advice to heart and swore off booze.

On Sunday he looked healthy and happy as he and Cooper exchanged vows and toasted their new love with non-alcoholic apple cider.

The pair looked very much in love as they said 'I do' beneath an outdoor canopy draped with gorgeous flowers.

Musician Whibley traded in his usual punk look for a classic black suit and tie.

His beaming bride Cooper looked stunning in a strapless white wedding dress with pretty silver embellishments.

Intimate: The couple exchanged vows under an outdoor canopy at the Bel Air Hotel

She wore a delicate hairpiece and flowing veil over her brunette hair, which she wore off her face in an elaborate updo.

However, the bride kept a bit of the punk spirit by wearing a pair of white Converse Chuck Taylor's under her dress as she walked down the aisle.

Her dark burgundy manicure perfectly matched her beautiful bouquet as she walked down the aisle.

'It was a chill and intimate ceremony,' a source told People magazine.

'They had a violin play at the ceremony and the music was mellow, not typical rock that Deryck's band plays, which was surprising.'

E! News added that there were 100 guests at the wedding.

'Guests dined on a four-course meal catered by Wolfgang Puck and carefully selected by Deryck before later noshing on doughnuts for a fun midnight snack,' a source added.

Coma: The singer was hospitalized and put in a medically-induced coma in April last year, after his liver and kidney shut down from years of heavy drinking

It was a traditional ceremony.
