It marks the beginning of a joyous new chapter for the 57-year-old former dancer and choreographer who nursed Patrick through his devastating illness with pancreatic cancer.

Lisa wore a custom-designed Oscar de la Renta gown as she married 58-year-old jeweller Albert DePrisco in a celebration attended by about 50 guests in Palm Beach, Florida.

The Mar-a-Largo Club was decorated with white roses and green and white hydrangeas and DePrisco wore an Ermenegildo Zegna dinner jacket with custom slacks.

The pair began dating in 2012, three years after Patrick’s death, after meeting through mutual friends.

Days before the wedding, Niemi told People she could not wait to get married again. “What I most look forward to on my wedding day is walking up, standing at our altar, and looking into his most incredible, twinkling eyes,” she said. “I cannot think of a bigger treat than that.”

Lisa said shortly after Patrick’s death, “I know I’m stronger now. The fact that I’ve had some good days definitely gives me hope that I can have more.”
