On a crisp October day in Montreal, the stunning Notre-Dame Basilica set the stage for a truly unforgettable moment. On October 12, 2024, René-Charles Angélil, the eldest son of music legend Céline Dion, stood at the altar to begin a beautiful new chapter of his life in the city where his mother’s incredible voice first captivated the world.
Adding a deeply personal touch to the ceremony, world-renowned tenor Andrea Bocelli — a close family friend — took the stage not just to sing, but to share a heartfelt blessing. Bocelli performed “The Prayer,” the iconic song he once famously sang with Céline Dion, this time delivering it solo as a touching tribute passed from one generation to the next.
His soaring voice filled the grand cathedral, light streaming through the stained glass and shimmering on the bride’s dress, while René-Charles looked on with tears of joy. This wasn’t just a performance — it was a genuine moment of love, connection, and celebration that everyone present will cherish forever.
Guests described the experience as “divine,” “more than music,” and “a moment where time seemed to stand still.”
It was more than a song — it was a blessing.
A beautiful link between past and future.
A legendary artist passing his gift to the next generation.
