Nicolas Cage attended his son Weston's wedding during a romantic outdoor ceremony in Beverly Hills - only weeks after the singer learned of his fate in his felony assault trial.
The National Treasure actor, 61, could be seen standing on the left side of the altar near his son, 34, in an Instagram video recently uploaded by one of the guests.
The nuptials took place at The London West Hollywood last week on April 25, sources informed TMZ.
In the short snippet, Cage - who sported a classic black tuxedo for the special day - watched as Weston and fiancée Jenifer Alexa Canter exchanged vows underneath the warm California sunshine.
His son was also dressed for the occasion in a black ensemble while the bride wore a strapless, white ballgown that flowed down into a short train.
A sheer white veil was pinned at the back of her brunette locks which were styled into elegant curls.
Flower petals led up to the altar which was placed on what appeared to be the rooftop of the hotel.
Nicolas was possibly part of the wedding party but it is not known if Weston's mother Christina Fulton was in attendance - after she accused him of viciously attacking her last year.
Jenifer also jumped to her own social media accounts to share moments from the nuptials - such as a few selfies the newlyweds took.
In a few images, the pair flashed cheerful smiles towards the camera while posing together shortly after the ceremony.
Another was taken as the two lovebirds sat next to each other at a table while inside the venue.
Canter gave a glimpse as she got ready for the big day and shared a photo of herself inside a spacious bathroom wearing a semi-sheer corset ensemble as well as a silk robe.
While on the rooftop, the couple could be seen posing for a picture as she held a bouquet of flowers in her hand.
Jenifer gave her followers a look at the wedding reception and the tables topped with pastel florals. In one snap, Weston could be seen dancing with one of the guests on the dance floor.

Lastly, she also showed a heart-shaped photo of herself posing with Weston that was possibly a wedding gift.
Back in March, Weston announced his engagement to girlfriend Jenifer - nearly five months after going public with their romance on Instagram.
The musician later confirmed that he popped the big question to People and gushed, 'Jenifer is my first love, my only love and my last. She is the love of my life and I am committed to her forever.
'What I have with Jenifer is a God-given divine phenomenon, and therefore it is incomparable. She is the love of my life, and our special love is uncanny.'
Weston - who has previously been married three times - further added, 'I am honored to be with the absolute love of my life. We look forward to changing the world and making our legacy.'
One day before the engagement news came to light, the performer uploaded a sweet selfie with Canter. He could be seen hugging Jenifer from behind as she quickly snapped the photo in the reflection of a mirror.
The actor has also revealed that both he and Jenifer - whom he called his 'twin flame' -were 'born in the same hospital' and 'grew up in the same area.'
Weston - who is the eldest child of Nicolas Cage - has been married three times in the past. Back in 2011, he tied the knot with first wife Nikki Williams but the two went their separate ways the next year.
In 2013, he said 'I do' to Danielle Cage but the pair divorced in 2016. The former couple also welcomed two children named Lucian and Sorin.
Weston then married Hila Cage Coppola in 2018 and the two share twins Venice and Cyress. Last year in July, their divorce was finalized.
In early April, the musician learned he will avoid prison - nearly a year after his mom, Christina Fulton, accused him of violently attacking her outside his apartment complex.
During a hearing, Weston was granted a two-year mental health diversion program to resolve the two felony assault charges against him.
'Mr. Cage does suffer from an eligible mental health disorder. I'm satisfied it was a significant factor in the commission of the charged offenses,' Los Angeles County Judge Enrique Monguia declared. 'It's obvious he was suffering a breakdown at the time.'
Weston's lawyer 'requested the diversion after saying his client had received intensive inpatient and outpatient treatment following the incident on April 28, 2024,' according to Rolling Stone.
At the time of the alleged assaults, his attorney, Michael A. Goldstein, stated 'Weston had changed doctors and had only just started a new medication.'
Following the sentencing hearing, Fulton had a message for her ex, telling Cage in an interview with TMZ, 'Take care of my son, our son.'
She stated that Weston has neither apologized nor expressed remorse, and confirmed they are not allowed to communicate. However, in a message to him, she said, 'I love you, son.'
Since his arrest, Goldstein noted that his client has remained sober and that Weston 'hasn't felt this good in years.'
'He's in a good head space, about to get married. He moved away from the location living in before and is definitely making progress,' Goldstein said.
In early April, the musician learned he will avoid prison - nearly a year after his mom, Christina Fulton, accused him of violently attacking her outside his apartment complex; seen with Fulton in 2019 in L.A.
The judge decided if Weston follows his treatment plan and doctors' orders and 'stays out of trouble' that the case could be dismissed in April 2027.
Fulton expressed her support for Weston diversion program over prison, but also requested her son be required to to do 'another couple months of inpatient treatment.'
Fulton had also gone into graphic detail about the night she was allegedly assault and left with life-threatening injuries.
In addition to ordering the mental health diversion program, the judge said 'Weston is prohibited from harassing his alleged victims and possessing any weapons for the next two years.'
A progress report hearing was set for July.
Weston - who previously entered a not guilty plea - was arrested in July 2024 on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, and was released on a $150,000 bond.
After his arrest, she released a statement, which read: 'On April 28th, 2024, around 5:30 PM I received urgent messages from friends of my son, Weston Cage regarding his deteriorating mental state, urging me to come help.
'When I arrived to offer support and console him, he was already in the midst of a manic rage. Within minutes, I was brutally assaulted and sustained serious injuries.'
Last month, Fulton's case against her ex, Nicolas Cage, was dismissed after she sued him for negligence.
In the lawsuit filed in February, Fulton accused Nicolas of enabling their son's 'reckless' by bailing him out of jail on several occasions, supporting him financially and drinking alcohol with Weston 'despite knowing his substance abuse history.'
She also alleged that Nicolas of failing to help his son receive 'necessary psychiatric' help.
At the time, Nicolas' lawyer hit back at Fulton's claims in a statement to People, which read: 'The allegations by Christina Fulton against Nicolas Cage are absurd and frivolous.
'Weston Coppola is a 34-year-old man. Mr. Cage does not control Weston's behavior in any manner and is not responsible for Weston's alleged assault of his mother.'
And shortly after the wedding ceremony last week, Weston and his new bride Jenifer were seen grabbing dinner with Nicolas, his wife Riko Shibata and seemingly the actor's other son Kal-El Cage.
The musician reposted the photo that his wife uploaded to Instagram - and they could all be seen posing together at the Polo Lounge located inside the Beverly Hills Hotel.
