It’s a big week for professional wrestling and it seems that love is in the air for one happy couple. Lilian Garcia recently confirmed to The Takedown on SI that she married Patrick Ellrich on on Sunday April 12.
Lilian Garcia noted that they originally planned a bigger wedding with more friends, and names like Trish Stratus and Candice Michelle were supposed to fly in. However, the planning started to get overwhelming, and luckily two friends offered to throw them an intimate barbecue which worked out for the best.
“We were just going to elope on a bridge and they were like, ‘we really want to throw you this barbecue.’ It’s right down from where they live. There’s a patch of grass that is beautiful. It’s up on a hill and it overlooks the hike that I went on that led me into Proper Hop Taphouse, which led me into meeting Patrick.
“So, it’s pretty cool that (we were) able to have this ceremony there. It was so serene and so beautiful. You could actually see the bridge that we were going to get married at, which was the bridge that I crossed into his place. So it’s like, this is absolutely perfect. (We did) the ceremony there, and then joined the barbecue.”
Lilian’s husband Patrick Ellerich also confirmed that they will be celebrating their honeymoon throughout WrestleMania Week, “I can’t hide how I am absolutely over the moon excited I am to be going to WrestleMania. In Vegas and a couple days after we get married? With Lillian Garcia? I’m so excited. I love the lineup of matches. I’m pumped about getting to go to the Hall of Fame as well. Getting to see what she’s (Lilian) doing with Trish that week and then getting to just run around WWE World for a few days as well? I can’t hide my excitement.
Not a lot of people know that she and I traveled together her entire career. She was there seven years straight, She and I rode together for that whole time. We have stories. We have many stories. So we’re going to share some of those stories and then answer the Q and A’s on Thursday night. I’m supposed to be doing something at WWE World Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Friday night is Hall of Fame.”
