Paul Wesley is officially married. The Vampire Diaries star, 43, tied the knot with model Natalie Kuckenburg, 26, in a small civil ceremony that included their beloved dog, Greg, as "Best Boy."
Kuckenburg announced the news on Instagram on July 13, sharing photos from the wedding. "Mr. and Mrs. 💍 and the Best Boy Greg 🐾," she captioned the post.
In the photos, the couple can be seen exchanging vows under palm trees, kissing, and holding hands with Greg sitting proudly between them.
For the occasion, Kuckenburg wore the ivory "Lilou" dress from Galia Lahav's ready-to-wear collection, described by the designer as "chic, elegant and personal." Wesley opted for a navy suit with a black tie. Their co-star Nina Dobrev was among those who congratulated the pair in the comments.
The couple's love story began in a New York City bar, where Wesley said he approached Kuckenburg after spotting her across the room. They were first linked in late 2022 after being photographed together in Italy. Much of their relationship has been tied to the Amalfi Coast, where they vacationed and later got engaged.
In July 2025, Wesley proposed at the Caruso, a Belmond Hotel in Ravello, the same spot where they had their first official date. "It was fantastic. She fell for it," Wesley said during a talk show appearance.
Kuckenburg later explained on Instagram that the hotel held special meaning for them, writing, "Paul and me came to this hotel 3 years ago for our very first trip together and immediately fell in love with the place."
The engagement was announced with a simple "Yes. Always and forever" alongside a photo of her oval-cut ring. Wesley shared his own celebratory post, showing the couple together with the ring on display.
