Love Is Blind star Jessica Batten has married her long-term beau Benjamin McGrath, as the couple eloped in Santa Barbara.
38-year-old Jessica appeared on the hit Netflix show back in 2020, hoping to find "the one", without ever seeing the other person. She famously left Mark Cuevas at the alter, ending their engagement on the show by saying "I don't".
But now it seems Jessica has found her happily ever after.
Ben, 36, and Jessica tied the knot in an intimate courtyard ceremony which was held in front of just two other couples.
Sharing the news to Instagram on Saturday (September 17), Jessica posted a series of sweet snaps from their special day. She captioned the post: "8.24.22 Mr. & Mrs."
Ben also shared the news on his Instagram Stories, writing: "Married my person and excited to tell you about it!"
Jessica looked elegant as she wore a figure-hugging strapless lace gown which featured floral detailing. The dress had a long trail which Jessica matched with a beautiful veil.
The blushing bride styled her hair into low bun and opted for a natural makeup look.
The groom wore a cream suit and matching tie, which he paired with a crisp white shirt.
The newlyweds shared pictures of their special day with Brides and told the publication: "We fell in love with the Spanish architecture and antique furnishings in the home.
"The peace and privacy were perfect for our intimate event. The villa’s vibrant landscape and bountiful gardens made for a stunning backdrop for our first look and for spending our first days as husband and wife."
The couple had originally planned to have a big wedding, but life got in the way.
"Ultimately, we decided that we needed more time to pull off the massive celebration that we thought was worthy for our family and friends," Jessica told the magazine.
Jessica and Ben plan to host a big celebration further down the road.
The pair first met in Venice, the night before Los Angeles introduced a Covid-19 lockdown. They grew close over the next year and by September 2021, Jessica and Ben made things official.
Jessica said: "Ben rented out a vineyard for a surprise engagement and evening party with friends. He was tucked into the grapevines with a big surprise in hand."
Ben added: "Jess had no idea!"
