Rob Lowe's eldest son Matthew Lowe got married and the entire family showed up, including the groom's uncle, Chad Lowe.
The family celebration took place less than two weeks after Matthew Lowe's 13-year-old cousin Fiona Lowe – the second daughter of Rob Lowe's brother, Emmy-winning director Chad Lowe – died. Chad Lowe, his wife, Kim Painter, and their daughters Mabel and Nixie were photographed among the guests in pictures posted by Page Six, which was first to report the news.
Photos obtained by the outlet show a starry lineup of wedding guests, including Katy Perry, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo, Zoe Saldaña and Marco Perego-Saldaña, and Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger.
