Jarrod Woodgate has found his happily ever after.
The former star of The Bachelorette walked down the aisle with fiancé Kristy Love in Victoria’s Yarra Valley this week.
The 39-year-old and his stunning bride arrived in a vintage Cadillac before exchanging vows at a quaint chapel at the Stones of the Yarra Valley estate.
The small wedding included 75 guests, who enjoyed a reception at the Barn Restaurant on the grounds.
Kristy stunned in a semi-sheer lace wedding gown that sat off her shoulders and included pearl accents at the bust.
The bride added an extra-long, flowing veil and wore sheer, white lace heels that matched her dress.

Her tasteful bridal makeup included a warm, natural palette and a soft nude lip gloss, with her dark brunette locks worn in soft curls.
Jarrod was dapper on his wedding day, choosing a deep blue textured suit worn with a white dress shirt and tie.
An orchid on his lapel matched the bride’s bouquet, which included a floral arrangement of pink and red blooms.
Jarrod broke down in tears while delivering his vows during the emotional ceremony.
The newlyweds hammed it up for their wedding photos, kissing and cuddling on the picturesque grounds.
The former reality star proposed to his ladylove in April last year.
‘Kristy and I first met when her mum tried to set us up at a concert, and we liked each other, but we weren’t mentally ready for a relationship at the time,’ he told Woman’s Day.
‘When we were finally ready, we somehow reconnected at a party and just knew we’d have a great life together.’

The couple lives together in Darwin with their three dogs.
‘We don’t plan on leaving Darwin anytime soon, and if we were to have kids, we’ll potentially have them up here too,’ the radio presenter said.
‘We’ve got a lot going on in our lives, but between work and renovating our house, it all feels so normal and exciting to be doing it together.’
Woodgate later claimed he shouldn’t have been allowed to appear on Channel 10’s Bachelor franchise because he ‘wasn’t mentally fit’.
He told The Daily Telegraph that he was suffering from mental health issues at the time – which was allegedly not picked up during the casting process – and admitted he ‘wasn’t ready for something like that’.
‘Part of me wasn’t mentally fit,’ said Jarrod, who famously broke down in tears and walked off into the sunset alone when Sophie dumped him during the season finale.
‘I shouldn’t potentially have been on the show because I wasn’t ready for something like that and that’s why it probably took its toll on me.’

Jarrod placed runner-up on Sophie Monk’s season of The Bachelorette in 2017, before appearing on Bachelor in Paradise the following year
In 2022, Jarrod revealed he was taking a break from work to focus on his mental and physical health.
The reality star, who spent 12 years in the army before he was medically discharged, has been diagnosed with PTSD, depression, adjustment disorder and anxiety.
Before finding love with Kristy, Jarrod was in a relationship with Keira Maguire, whom he met on season one of Bachelor in Paradise in 2018.
He blamed their initial break-up on Keira’s obsession with Instagram.
The couple reunited in January 2019 before splitting for good in August that year.
