And even though Kuckenberg later admitted to her now-husband she wasn’ttotallysurprised by the big question, he revealed,“She still broke down in tears.”
As for what makes his romance with Kuckenberg so solid?
“There’s two people that are the funniest people in my life—Number one, my dog, and number two, frankly, my girlfriend,” Wesley toldPeoplein March 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.”

“It happened,” Quaid said at the time. “I’m so happy about it.”
“Walking down the aisle in that warm glow of the magic hour felt like our own little secret,” she told Vogue. “Like the rest of the world kept turning in chaos, and we had this small little nook of the world to ourselves. Time slowed down and felt like a love song.”
“I’m a very, very lucky person who’s very happy right now,” Maya told to People in a March 12 interview. “And yeah, couldn’t be more grateful.”

She added, “We’re excited to share this new joyful chapter in our lives with all of you!”
“Feeling very lucky that I can honestly say my wedding was the best day of my life, no contest,” Joel reflected on Instagram. “I’ve never felt so certain and so loved.”
“We’ve already grown so much as a couple: being together nearly seven years, starting a business together and now getting married,” Alissa told People in an interview published Jan. 2026. “We are an amazing team, and we’re so excited to continue to grow together for the rest of our lives.”
