Paul Wesley, who famously starred in The Vampire Diaries, has officially tied the knot with longtime partner Natalie Kuckenburg in an intimate wedding ceremony. The couple chose to keep their special day away from the spotlight, exchanging vows in a private celebration attended only by an officiating minister and their beloved pet dog, Greg.
Natalie shared the happy news on Instagram on July 13, posting a series of dreamy wedding photos with the caption, "Mr. and Mrs. and the Best Boy Greg," giving their furry companion a starring role in the celebration.
Rather than hosting a lavish celebrity wedding, Wesley and Kuckenburg opted for a simple and heartfelt ceremony with no guests apart from the minister and Greg. The intimate setting reflected the couple's preference for keeping their relationship largely private over the years.
Despite the low-key celebration, the newlyweds looked every bit the picture-perfect couple. Natalie, 26, wore a classic white silk spaghetti-strap gown by designer Galia Lahav, while Wesley, 43, complemented her in a tailored blue suit paired with a black tie.
The wedding announcement quickly caught the attention of fans and friends, with The Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev among those congratulating the couple in the comments section.
Paul Wesley and Natalie Kuckenburg have been together for four years. The couple got engaged during a romantic trip to Italy in 2025, with Natalie announcing the proposal on Instagram by sharing a photo of her engagement ring alongside the words, "Yes" and "Always and forever."
The wedding also marks a new chapter for Wesley, who has been married twice before. He was previously married to actor Torrey DeVitto from 2011 to 2013 and later to jewellery executive Ines de Ramon from 2019 until their divorce in 2022.
While the couple chose to celebrate their union in the most intimate way possible, fans have been charmed by Greg's adorable role in the ceremony. Their decision to keep the occasion personal while including their beloved dog has only added to the heartwarming nature of the announcement.
With wedding bells behind them, Wesley and Kuckenburg are now beginning married life together, and their understated celebration has already won over fans, proving that sometimes the simplest ceremonies create the most memorable moments.
