Congrats go out to Paul Wesley!

*The Vampire Diaries* star married model Natalie Kuckenburg in a small, intimate civil ceremony over the weekend, she shared on Instagram. Alongside photos from their special day, which included snaps of their dog, Kuckenburg wrote, “Mr. and Mrs. 💍 and the Best Boy Greg 🐾.”

Kuckenburg, 26, stunned in an ivory Lilou dress from the Galia Lahav ready-to-wear collection, while Wesley, 43, wore a navy blue suit and tie.

“It was exactly the kind of chic, elegant and personal wedding the dress was made for: quiet, elegant, and all about the couple,” the wedding dress designer shared with **.

Wesley and Kuckenberg have been dating since at least November 2022 after meeting at a bar in New York City.

“That’s rare these days, I guess, because everyone’s, you know, meeting online and all these dating apps,” Wesley told *Live with Kelly & Mark *about meeting his future wife in an East Village bar. “It was just like the classic, pretty girl at a bar. There was a little look, and I was like, ‘Okay, I’m gonna go for it.’ ”

“It was nice because we had a mutual friend,” he added of the meet-cute. “Because otherwise it’s very awkward … it was kind of more of an introduction.”

The couple got engaged in Italy last summer, and Kuckenburg shared the news on Instagram. “Yes 🤍** Always and forever,” she wrote alongside a photo of her ring.

Wesley has been married twice before — first to Torrey DeVitto from 2011 to 2013, and then to Ines de Ramon from 2019 to 2022. Their divorce was finalized in 2024, and de Ramon is now in a relationship with Brad Pitt.

Of his connection with Kuckenburg, Wesley said humor keeps them connected.

“There’s two people that are the funniest people in my life — Number one, my dog, and number two, frankly, my girlfriend,” Wesley told PEOPLE in 2024. “I think the reason we get along so well is because all we do is laugh, and I think it’s probably one of the most important things in a relationship.”
