This weekend, Edmonton Oilers forward Leon Draisaitl and actress Celeste Desjardins are set to tie the knot in France. On Friday, his teammate Connor McDavid’s wife Lauren Kyle shared a series of stories from the couple’s pre-wedding celebrations on her Instagram.

The bride-to-be looked radiant, her hair styled in a soft updo and accessorized with a delicate necklace and a small white handbag. Another story showed Lauren clicking a mirror selfie in front of an antique mirror dressed in a lilac ensemble with a side knot.

The next click showed Celeste as she stood in front of a mirror with her gown’s long, flowing train cascading to the floor as she adjusted her look in the mirror. Lauren also posted a picture with Connor McDavid outside an ivy-covered French estate. Lauren wore the lilac gown, while McDavid kept it sharp in a tailored blue suit and sunglasses.

In another clip, she showed off a floral-themed cocktail station. A bartender stood behind a sleek white bar setup with gold tools, while a garnished drink topped with a sprig of lavender rested beside a dish of dried flowers. The final story saw the evening dinner setup where guests gathered beneath a pergola draped in string lights and greenery.
