Former Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher exchanged vows with his partner Étienne Bousquet-Cassagne in the French Riviera town of St Tropez on Saturday afternoon.
The couple arrived at the town hall at 5:18pm local time, dressed identically in dark blue suits paired with white shirts and pale blue ties.
Schumacher, who won six Grand Prix races during his career with Williams and Jordan, married the French businessman in what marked the start of a three-day celebration.
The 50-year-old German and his 36-year-old partner own a property near the picturesque coastal location, which once served as Schumacher's holiday home with his former wife.

|The wedding ceremony was captured by cameras from Sky and Wow as part of their four-part documentary series titled "Ralf & Étienne: Wir sagen Ja" (We Say Yes), with the finale episode featuring the nuptials set to air on 6 June.
Among those in attendance was Peter Hardenacke, Sky's Formula One expert and Schumacher's colleague, who offered his congratulations to the newlyweds.
"I'm happy for him, I wish him all the luck in the world. I believe he has found the right partner," Hardenacke told Bild newspaper.

His future husband took rather longer to come around, with Bousquet-Cassagne revealing he sent multiple messages without receiving any reply before Schumacher eventually responded months later.
Schumacher publicly announced both his relationship and his sexuality in July 2024.
His son David, born during his marriage to Cora in 2001, took on best man duties at the wedding, which hosted approximately 110 guests.
The revelation of Schumacher's same-sex relationship initially sparked a bitter dispute with his ex-wife, who burned her wedding dress and publicly asked him to allow her to "heal in peace," claiming she had "wasted her best years" on him.
However, when news of the engagement emerged in February, Cora extended an olive branch alongside her new partner Steven Bo Bekendam.
"Steven and I wish Ralf and Étienne all the best and much happiness," she said.
