Million Dollar Baby is officially off the market! Hilary Swank and her bae Philip Schneider recently tied the knot among the redwoods of California and their wedding was straight out of a fairy tale.
Two-time Oscar winner met her social venture entrepreneur hubby in 2016, and it didn’t take a long time to realize they’re right for each other. The couple was on a vacation in Colorado when Schneider dropped down on one knee and asked Swank to spend the rest of her life with him. The proposal took place in front of a beautiful waterfall, with nothing but tall pines and big skies around them. The couple immediately knew they wanted to be surrounded by nature on their big day, and that was exactly what happened. Swank’s father Philip walked the actress down the aisle, while her bestie Mariska Hargitay served as the maid of honor.
“I was overwhelmed with such gratitude and thanks to be marrying the man of my dreams and to see all the people we love together in the middle of such a profound setting. It was truly a dream come true,” said the actress.
She opted for a beautiful gown that featured 25 meters of Chantilly lace, eight meters of silk chiffon, and six meters of organza silk and took 150 hours to make. It was Elie Saab creation, and Boys Don’t Cry star said she was thrilled to have them design her dress.
“I wanted something romantic that felt as timeless as the redwood grove where we were to be married, and he delivered – designing something that far surpassed my greatest expectations. It was everything I imagined and more,” explained Hilary Swank.
