“I wanted to be like, ‘Oh, let’s totally have a rock ‘n’ roll, goth wedding,’ ” Lavigne tells Jane. “But at the same time I was like, ‘I’ve been dreaming about my wedding day since I was a little girl. I have to wear the white dress.’ I wanted to be a princess, okay?”

Part of the appeal of a traditional wedding was its timelessness. “People thought I would have done, like, some black wedding dress, and yeah, I would have. But at the same time I was thinking about our pictures. … I didn’t want to be, like, 20 years later, ‘Oh, why did I wear my hair like that? It’s not cool now.’”

I think that was a smart decision by Avril. I know I’ve looked back at pictures from a few years ago and cringed at the styles back then, and that would be even worse to have that feeling when looking at your wedding photos!
