They got engaged in November 2023 in Mexico.

At the reception they served Korean fried chicken sliders, baked king salmon in a tomato fondue sauce, and charred brussels sprouts, the site added.

They also had short ribs, beef tenderloin, and chicken in a mushroom cream sauce. 

The songs they played were Burning Down the House, I Say a Little Prayer, Hey Ya and Country Roads.

And there was a nod to the late Joan: At the beginning of the ceremony, each guest was given a small golden bee pin to wear in honor of Joan.

The bee was Joan’s ‘inspiration.’

‘When we were planning it, our goal was simple: throw a party and have a wedding ceremony break out somewhere in the middle,’ she said.

‘And you know what? We nailed it. People were meeting, laughing, and by the end of the night, strangers were acting like old friends.’

Rivers was thrilled with the wedding.

‘The amount of genuine happiness in that room was so overwhelming. I’m not one to be cliché and say, “Oh, you could feel the warmth and love!” But you know what? I actually felt it! And I’m so grateful,’ she added.

The event also included skiing at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.

There was also a lavish day after the wedding party, and a goodbye brunch.  

They almost called off the wedding as she lost her house in the LA fires on January 7. 

‘We were going to cancel,’ said Melissa.

‘I was tapping out, like, “I just can’t do this.” 

‘And that’s when my friends stepped in and said, “We are doing this.”

‘Because a number of people who are coming lost their homes too, and they were like, “Thank God we have this to look forward to.”

‘I also knew that we were all going to want to go away for a weekend to get out of all this chaos and rest our brains.’

Rivers said it was healing to see some of her oldest friends.

‘They told me, “We need to be around you too.” And they really stepped up and helped with the rest of the planning. 

‘Just to be able to be with all of my friends, all at the same time…it’s really something that I needed at a time in my life where everything felt like it had been taken away again.’
