Start of their Short Married life
Late American singer, Scott Weiland, and Photographer, Jamie Wachtel met for the first time on the set of Scott’s music video, “I’ll Be Home for Christmas,” in 2011. During that time, Jamie was totally focusing her career as a photographer and interestingly, she was photographing the same music video. Scott was a little bit nervous about his music video. While at that time Jamie gave full support and calmed him. And after that Scott shared his feeling about Jamie and told that “I was kind of nervous because one of the songs [“I’ll Be Home for Christmas”] was a tribute to war veterans from World War II onto today. So I’m in this vintage World War II dress outfit, and she was taking stills of me. I was leaning against this fireplace, and she’s like, ‘You might want to tuck in your belly a little bit.’ It was around the holidays – it was after Thanksgiving, and you know how that tends to be. I was kind of caught off guard, and I started laughing and she started laughing. And I don’t know . . . something magical happened.” After the shoot, she gave me a ride home “I just thought, ‘I have a feeling that I am going to fall in love with this woman,’”
After knowing each other, the two finally fell in love and started dating. And having a one-year relationship, they announced their engagement and got engaged in November 2012. Just a couple of times before the marriage, Weiland in his interview with Rolling Stone shared his happiness and talked about his beautiful wife, and said that “She is incredibly beautiful in every aspect of the word. Lovely, smart, passionate. And she loves my kids and I love her son. We’re getting married in the spring, and our families will be living together. … She’s the greatest thing that’s happened to me in a long, long time.”
After spending a beautiful moment together, Jamie and Scott finally tied the knot on June 22, 2013, at their Los Angeles home. Only the families and close friends have attended their ceremony. Soon after the wedding ceremony, the beautiful photographer shared her happiness and expressed that “We had the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. We all cried and laughed.
