Matthew Lowe marries Emily Markus in Santa Barbara

Matthew Lowe, son of actor Rob Lowe, married Emily Markus in Santa Barbara, California, on October 10. The ceremony was officiated by Gwyneth Paltrow and attended by various high-profile guests, including Cameron Diaz and Adam Levine.

The wedding took place shortly after the family suffered the loss of 13-year-old Fiona Lowe, daughter of Rob’s brother Chad Lowe, who died by suicide in late September. Sources indicate that Matthew initially considered postponing the nuptials out of respect for his uncle’s grief, but Chad Lowe encouraged him to proceed so the family could have a reason to celebrate during a difficult time.
