It's official. "Bachelor" franchise star Nick Viall is no longer a bachelor.

The Waukesha native and host of "The Viall Files" married fiancée Natalie Joy, a certified surgical technologist, over the weekend at her family's farm outside of Savannah, Georgia, according to People.

The couple announced their engagement in January 2023 and welcomed their first child together, River Rose, earlier this year. According to People, Joy slid into Viall's DMs, then the two started dating in 2020.

Before we get to the Big Day, we have to talk about that welcome party the pair had. Western wear is all the rage right now and "country chic" is exactly what Viall and Joy's pre-wedding shindig was giving. With a couple that always seems to be up on what's up, we'd expect nothing less.

Viall and Joy gave their followers a glimpse into the event through a video and numerous photos posted to social media since. From the looks of it, there was a mechanical bull, dancing and horses.

Joy donned a jaw-dropping Cinq lace and satin-looking ensemble that was shorter in the front and had layers of lace down the back. She paired it with cowboy boots and jewelry that perfectly matched the aesthetic. Viall sported a suit with a cowboy hat and bolo tie.

"when i decided on the theme being “country chic” i wanted to lean into my southern roots and being on our animal farm in the middle of georgia it just felt right!" Joy captioned a carousel of photos in the dress on Instagram. "we spent countless hours working on it and i’ll truly never ever recover!! its everything i envisioned and more!! what’s even better is this top is in @macyewysner new collection and it’s called The River named after my rivvy!!!!!"

Now, onto the main event.

"My wife is an artist, this wedding was her vision," Viall shared on Instagram.

The ceremony backdrop was a pond with trees behind it and an elaborate arch in front, featuring blue and white florals and greenery.

It was a star-studded affair with fellow "Bachelor alums, including officiant Sharleen Joynt, and other celebs.

Joy's wedding dress — also Cinq — had a structured bodice with a draped neckline that flowed into off-the-shoulder straps. The skirt was billowy and bold. Her veil was cathedral length and her gloves were lace.

Viall wore a black tux with a black bow tie. The black buttons down the front of his white dress shirt added additional accents to the look.

"To make the moment even more special," Joy held River in her arms, People reported. The baby girl was dressed up in a flouncy white dress and bonnet.

The reception — which meant another lace number for Joy — included dancing until almost 2 a.m., confetti cannons, cold sparklers and a champagne tower, Joy shared on Insta. A family friend's rendition of "At Last" made it feel like Joy's late grandmother was with her again.

"i wanna relive this night over and over again ❤️❤️❤️❤️," Joy said in the post.

The newlyweds are off to their honeymoon, along with their bundle of joy. Early Monday morning, Viall shared a photo of the trio on an airplane with the caption "Honeymoon begins."
