"I’m just so grateful to have had such an amazing, unforgettable wedding. I always wanted to get married on the beach. I grew up on the Baltic Sea in the former Soviet Union, so it was my dream to have my ceremony on the sand," Lana told WWE.com. "And Malibu worked out perfect. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky, it wasn’t humid, it was just the perfect weather for a wedding. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better situation."
Other notable names from the company who were in attendance included Daniel Bryan, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Renee Young, The Miz, Maryse, Natalya, Dolph Ziggler, Ryback, and Luke Harper.
