The 27-year-old married her partner at the family's villa in Majorca, with only a limited number of guests allowed to attend out of respect for Schumacher's privacy.
The villa that hosted the wedding ceremony was purchased by the bride in 2017, who reportedly paid around £27million to purchase the property from Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
According to Majorcan news outlet Ultima Hora, the ceremony lasted for approximately 30 minutes, with the newlyweds saying "I do" at around 4pm.
Wedding guests were made to abide by strict rules so that Schumacher and his family could enjoy the celebrations without worrying about unwanted details of his condition being made public.
This included leaving their mobile phones and cameras behind as they entered the venue, to ensure that no images or videos of the Formula One legend were made public.
Gina-Maria, the eldest of Schumacher's children with caring wife Corinna Betsch, reportedly met her husband Bethke at a stable, with the couple both keen horse riders.
She is believed to have made millions after enjoying a successful career owning and riding horses, with the animals helping her and mother Corrina cope with her father's injury.
According to the Facebook page of Gina and Corinna's Texas ranch, XCS Ranch LLC, Schumacher's daughter won am incredible $459,326.14 from riding last year.
