The Canadian crooners famously got engaged one month after recording the eight-time Grammy nominee's aptly-titled duet, Let Me Go.
Avril and the Nickelback frontman tied the knot before 110 guests at the Château de la Napoule on the French Riviera following an 11-month engagement.
Last November, the Hello Kitty songstress boasted how they never go "more than two weeks without seeing each other."
"And we don't drink when we're apart," Chad added to People magazine.
"We don't want to go anywhere that you're asking for trouble. This is something we want to cherish and protect."
Neither Lavigne nor Kroeger's six-time Grammy-nominated band have any upcoming concert dates scheduled.
But Avril has been asking her 16.8 million Twitter followers to donate to the Special Olympics in honor of her 30th birthday next week.
The blonde beauty split with reality star Brody Jenner in 2012 after two years, and she divorced Sum 41 frontman Deryck Whibley in 2010 after a four-year marriage.
