"I love you more than anything," she captioned a photo of herself and the blushing bride.
Sofia and Grainge became engaged in April 2022 after first sparking romance rumours in early 2021.

"Forever isn't long enough," Richie wrote, alongside a photo of herself gasping as Grainge got down on one knee with the emerald-cut diamond.
The bride's father joked after the engagement that Grainge was terrified when he asked for his permission.
"He was a nervous wreck, poor guy," the All Night Long singer joked to Access Hollywood in 2022.
"I thought he was going to pass out, but he survived it. I was going to rib him a little bit, but I didn't want to play, he was going to faint."
