The last wedding hosted in Notre Dame was in 1995 after which it stopped hosting private ceremonies.
In 2019, when the cathedral caught fire, Martin spent three years in rebuilding it and it was successfully reopened to the public in 2024.
"I want to share my love, our love, with the whole world, with all those who need it. I just want to say that this is the most beautiful day of my life. I don't think I can say anything else," Martin told France Info.
