Patrick Swayze's widow Lisa Niemi is starting a happy new chapter with her wedding to 58-year-old jeweller Albert DePrisco. The celebration took place at Florida's Mar-a-Largo Club in front of about 50 guests. She started dating Albert in 2012 - three years after the death of her adored first husband from pancreatic cancer.

Lisa, a former dancer and choreographer, is known for her devotion in nursing Patrick, her husband of 34 years, through his devastating illness. Shortly after his death, she said: "I know I'm stronger now. The fact that I've had some good days definitely gives me hope that I can have more."
