Vin Diesel took Paul Walker’s daughter to the altar instead of father

Meadow Rain Walker lost her father when she was just 15 years old. But the girl did not have to experience what it means to grow up and mature without paternal support, because after the death of actor Paul Walker, his friend Vin Diesel himself began to take care of his only daughter.

“I have no friends, I have a family”

It’s been eight years since the death of the star “Fast and the Furious” in a car accident in November 2013. The misfortune happened just during the filming of the seventh part of the franchise.

And now that his daughter, a 23-year-old model, agreed to marry actor Louis Thornton-Allan, she knew she could count on Vin Diesel.

It was he who led Meadow to the altar in place of her late father. Remember Diesel’s character from “Fast and the Furious” Dominic Toretto says: “I have no friends, I have a family”? Vin Diesel is like that in life.

Meadow shared on her Instagram a touching moment as she and Diesel walk up the aisle.

She later commented on the event to Vogue:

“We never imagined that it would be so beautiful – and, to be honest, it was easy and simple. Louis and I knew exactly what we wanted from the start. It was a very private family celebration. “

The beginning of a relationship

The young actor proposed to Meadow Walker in August, shortly after they were quarantined together in London, where the girl worked.

“He couldn’t wait to get the ring that we designed together, and he proposed to me along with this ring,” Meadow recalls their romantic moment. “It was so sentimental and so sweet. In another way, I probably would not want. “

Family celebration

The wedding, which took place in October in the Dominican Republic, was closed and quiet, attended only by close relatives and friends.

“The pandemic changed our plans,” Meadow explained. “Luis’s family couldn’t come. Many close friends, whom we consider family people, were also unable to come due to travel and travel restrictions. “

The ceremony was held on the beach and the bride wore a custom-made GivenchyHauteCouture wedding dress designed by Matthew Williams.

Complementing the look with jewelry from Tiffany & Co. And her wedding ring was made in EclatJewels by a close friend of the newlyweds, Eduardo Saggese.

After that there was a candlelit dinner and cake cutting. “We all danced barefoot in the sand,” says Meadow. “And at the end of the evening we put on a gorgeous fireworks display and launched lanterns into the picturesque night sky.”

“Family forever”

Even after Paul Walker’s death, his family and Vin Diesel’s family share a close bond. Meadow often spends time with the Diesel family. She even shared a selfie with his children Hania, Vincent and Pauline by signing it “Family forever”.

Meadow is Vin Diesel’s goddaughter, and Paul Walker himself was and will always be his friend. It was in honor and memory of Paul that Diesel named his daughter, 6-year-old Pauline.

When Pauline was born, Vin Diesel told TODAY: “This is an opportunity to preserve the memory of Paul as part of my family and part of my world.”
