Edmonton Oilers star Leon Draisaitl married his longtime girlfriend Celeste Desjardins in a stunning ceremony over the weekend in the South of France. The couple’s celebration was marked by an atmosphere of joy and luxury, capturing the attention of fans and fellow players alike.

The wedding took place under clear blue skies, creating a picturesque backdrop as Draisaitl and Desjardins shared their vows. Guests included a host of NHL players, with Connor McDavid, Zach Hyman, Evander Kane, and Sam Gagner among the attendees. Notably, McDavid’s wife, Lauren Kyle, shared a heartfelt video on social media showing the couple’s first dance to “Take My Heart” by The Teskey Brothers.

Their wedding festivities extended beyond the ceremony, featuring an elaborate afterparty. Revelers enjoyed a vibrant atmosphere, complete with a DJ and a custom-made neon sign reading “Draisaitls.” Guests were treated to an energetic celebration that included bubble guns, adding to the fun.

Desjardins provided glimpses of the event through her social media, sharing multiple photos, including the couple’s first kiss and her elegant wedding dress. The event has been highly anticipated since Draisaitl proposed to Desjardins last summer on a beach in Spain.
