Ava Sambora, daughter of Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora and actress Heather Locklear, married her longtime boyfriendTyler Farrar this weekend. The day after couple’s big ceremony, her proud papa is sharing some sweet, even intimate videos from inside the wedding reception.
The first video shared on Sambora’s Instagram captures the newlyweds right up in front of the band on stage at the wedding reception. We’re dropped right in the middle of a very special musical moment. The bride and groom are very enthusiastically jumping, scream-singing, and rocking out to the Bon Jovi song “Livin’ on a Prayer.” So perfect. Wedding guests heartily sing along too.
And the best part is you can tell Farrar is very much a fan of the beloved Bon Jovi song.

The next video shared to Richie’s Instagram is the intimate and sweet father-daughter dance. Ahead of the nuptials, the musician told People, “We’re dancing to a song that I wrote for her, ‘I’ll Always Walk Beside You.’ She picked it.”
And indeed they did. As soon as they step onto the dance floor, Ava says, “My dad wrote this song.”
Watch Richie and Ava dance to Sambora’s song “I’ll Always Walk Beside You” (yeah, the video’s a little pixelated, but it’s still so fun to watch):
The singer and songwriter also shared this heartwarming video full of family photos chronicling the father and daughter over the years. His song “I’ll Always Walk Beside You” and its lyrics play, too, so you can sing along:
Richie Sambora wrote “I’ll Always Walk Beside You” around 2010, and it was featured on his third solo album, Aftermath of the Lowdown, which was released in September 2012.
