Elisha, best known for her TV and movie career (Happy Endings, 24, The Girl Next Door) and the NHL captain have dated since 2008 and have been engaged since December of 2012. Despite their A-lister standing, they wanted a private affair and took measures to thwart the prying eyes of paparazzi and possible gatecrashers.

Dion’s parents are from well-known families in PEI and he owns a large waterfront property in nearby New London where the couple enjoys downtime during the summers.
