Zach Hyman, Mattias Ekholm and Adam Henrique's partners link up at Leon Draisaitl and Celeste Desjardins' French wedding

Oilers superstar Leon Draisaitl and actress Celeste Desjardins tied the knot this weekend in an outdoor ceremony in Les Baux-de-Provence, in the south of France. The event was attended by several of his current and former teammates, along with their partners.

On Sunday, Mara Teigen, fiancée of Evander Kane, shared a series of Instagram Stories from Leon and Celeste’s wedding festivities. The stories featured her alongside Zach Hyman’s wife, Alannah Hyman; Mattias Ekholm’s wife, Ida; and Adam Henrique’s wife, Lauren, outside the chateau and during the reception.

In one of the photos, the women stood side by side, posing in front of the venue. Ida Ekholm wore a mid-length brown dress with floral embroidery and structured shoulders. Alannah Hyman was in a sleeveless dark brown gown with a high neckline and pleated skirt.

Teigen sported a black dress with a purple floral print and thin straps, carrying a dark green clutch. Lauren Henrique wore a fitted black dress with a deep neckline and a high slit.

Another story showed a wide view of the chateau exterior, with guests gathering along the garden path. In a separate story, originally posted by Lauren Henrique, the women were seen seated at a round table outdoors during the reception, drinks in hand.
