Mike Fleiss married Laura Kaeppeler at his Malibu home on Sunday evening. The Bachelor creator, 49, and former Miss America, 26, have made it official!
Obviously, the ceremony was officiated by the reality show's host and the groom's longtime friend Chris Harrison, while Neil Lane designed the rings.
Laura's engagement ring is over five carats and features a central round diamond in a handmade platinum tulip design accented by smaller round diamonds.
Nice work Mike. And Neil.
Says Lane, the go-to jeweler of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, "It's great to see two people I really like so much in love. I wish them a lifetime of happiness."
Earlier in the weekend, Fleiss and Kaeppeler both Tweeted about the big day and the ceremony to come. "I'm the luckiest man on earth!!!" Fleiss wrote.
"Today is the happiest day of my life!" Tweeted Laura Kaeppeler, who was crowned Miss America in 2012 and now goes by the name Laura Fleiss.
