We’re not crying; you’re crying!

Paul Walker’s daughter Meadow, 22, has tied the knot with actor Louis Thornton-Allan on Wednesday, and she was walked down the aisle with none other than Vin Diesel.

Meadow confirmed the heartwarming news on Instagram, captioning a black and white video of highlights with “We’re married!!!!”

The happy couple had been engaged for two months.

Meadow’s father, Paul Walker, died just under eight years ago. Most known for the Fast and the Furious Franchise, the actor died in November 2013 after the Porsche Carrera GT he was in crashed into a concrete pole and became engulfed in flames.

The car was travelling at 80-93mph in a 45mph zone when businessman Roger Rodas lost control and crashed near Kelly Johnson Parkway, California. Both Rodas and Walker were killed in the crash, with the coroner’s report ruling it was due to the combination of the impact and fire.

In a genuinely touching moment, one photo shows Meadow walking down the aisle by her Godfather and her dads’ best friend, Vin Diesel.

Last month, Meadow shared an image of the two of them to celebrate what would have been his 48th birthday. “Happy Birthday Daddy, I love you,” she captioned the post.

Meadow had previously set up a foundation in her late father’s name.

Posting to Instagram in 2015, she wrote:

“Reflecting on my father, I found myself reflecting on his passions.

“His passion for the ocean, his passion for rescuing animals, his passion for helping people and his passion for spontaneous goodwill.

“I wanted to start this foundation because I want to share that piece of him with the world.

“I want to share that part of him with others. I am tremendously proud to be launching The #PaulWalkerFoundation (@paulwalkerfdn) on his birthday. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate my father.”
