Reality TV stars Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young join the list of newlyweds as the adorable couple recently tied the knot in a classic old Hollywood-themed ceremony on Saturday, October 23.
The spouses happily gushed about their nuptials to PEOPLE, sharing juicy details about their love for each other and what the future had in store for them.
A Dreamy Affair
Before the memorable Saturday affair, the adorable couple got loose in Palm Springs with a joint bachelor/bachelorette soiree attended by their best pals and family members.
The bride also enjoyed two wedding showers, first at Newport Beach, while PETA hosted the second to celebrate the animal rights advocate.

The "Flipping 101" host shares two kids with his ex-wife Christina Haack — daughter Taylor and son Brayden. The amazing event is the 40-year-old's second wedding and the first for Young.
In honor of her big day, the "Selling Sunset" realtor wore a Galia Lahav custom-made long-sleeved corset dress designed with French lace and a keyhole back.
Her partner also looked ravishing in a skull-and-crossbones-print lined black velvet tux.
The ceremony was held at a luxurious hotel near Santa Barbara, adorned in black, white, and champagne gold colors giving the venue an old Hollywood vibe.
Guests were entertained with an exquisite cocktail session before hitting the dance floor at the reception.
Starting A New Chapter
More details about the TV personalities' wedding will be shown on a one-hour special titled "Tarek and Heather The Big I Do," set to air on discovery+ in December.
Although the spouses were initially against filming their wedding, they eventually consented to do the show as a means of saving their precious moments.
On the topic of their love, Young told the news outlet, "We're best friends, we're true soulmates, and our love is so rare and so special. It's the love I've always dreamed of my whole life."
Her husband shared similar feelings as he expressed his excitement about starting a new chapter with his wife and children. In his words, "we have a family, and we have a very bright future."

Their Relationship Timeline
The Blast previously shared the newlyweds' love story in August, including a detailed timeline of their heartwarming romance, which began in 2019.
After finalizing his divorce from Haack, El Moussa met Young on July 4, 2019. However, the PETA advocate was in another relationship, so the father-of-2's advances were rejected.
That same month, paparazzi captured the pair on a romantic beach date in California. This affair was followed by more precious dates and sizzling Instagram photos.
Last year, after buying a house and moving in together, the 40-year-old proposed during the couple's first-anniversary getaway, and next came their wedding preparations.
The newlyweds are head over heels for each other and serve as hot relationship goals for fans. The future is bright for the pair, and we can't wait to see what they do next.
