Her father's most famous film starts off with a mafia wedding reception.So it seems appropriate that Sofia Coppola got married in Italy, where the organised crime syndicate was born.
The Hollywood film-maker tied the knot with French singer Tom Mars in a star-studded wedding in Bernalda, in southern Italy.
It is where Godfather director Francis Ford Coppola's grandparents originated.
Hopefully nothing was Lost In Translation as the overjoyed pair swapped nuptials in the palatial garden of her father's grand palazzo in the beautiful village.
The event was officiated by Bernalda's mayor, Leonardo Chiruzz, and Sofia was walked down the aisle by Francis.
Leonardo said: 'Everything went well. It was simple, calm, in the garden.'
The 40-year-old writer and director looked stunning in a simple-but-elegant Azzedine Alaia dress, while her new husband wore a tasteful blue suit with matching shirt and tie.
Only around 80 guests attended the star-studded affair including Rango star Johnny Depp, Star Wars creator George Lucas and her Rocky actress aunt Talia Shire.
It is Oscar-winning screenwriter Sofia's second wedding.
She married fellow film director Spike Jonez in 1999, but the pair split four years later citing irreconcilable differences.
No doubt 34-year-old Tom, who is the singer for French Grammy-winning indie rockers Phoenix, will be hoping their marriage is built of sterner stuff.
If not he will be fearing waking up next to a horses head, like the famous scene from Coppola senior's 1972 masterpiece.
The fathers of the bride and groom both looked delighted to have seen their children seal their relationship, which started in 2004.
The pair already have two children together and live in Paris.
Their first daughter Romy was born in November 2006, while their second Cosima came into the world in May 2010.
However the Coppola wedding was not the only celebrity nuptials taking place in Italy this weekend.
Formula One supremo Bernie Ecclestone's stunning daughter Petra got hitched to her fiancé James Stunt in a lavish $2 million wedding.
She was escorted to the ceremony by her father, who looked a little nervous to be giving his daughter away.
Celebrities who attended the event included reality TV flop Paris Hilton and disgraced former royal Sarah Ferguson.
The ceremony took place at the 15th century Odescalchi Castle in the medieval town of Bracciano, just outside Rome.
