Paul Wesley has officially found his forever. The The Vampire Diaries actor married longtime partner Natalie Kuckenburg in an intimate civil ceremony over the weekend, celebrating the occasion with close loved ones and one very special guest, their dog Greg, who proudly served as the couple’s “Best Boy.” Natalie announced the happy news on Instagram, sharing dreamy wedding photos with the caption, “Mr. and Mrs. 💍 and the Best Boy Greg 🐾.” For the ceremony, the 26-year-old model wore an elegant ivory Lilou gown from Galia Lahav’s ready-to-wear collection, while Wesley looked sharp in a tailored navy blue suit paired with a matching tie. The couple kept the celebration simple, elegant and deeply personal, letting the emotional moments speak for themselves.
Their love story began in late 2022 after they met the old-fashioned way at a New York City bar. Wesley previously recalled spotting Natalie across the room before working up the courage to introduce himself. The meeting became even easier because they happened to share a mutual friend, turning what could have been an awkward encounter into the start of a lasting relationship.
The couple announced their engagement during a romantic trip to Italy last summer, with Natalie posting a photo of her engagement ring alongside the words, “Yes. Always and forever.”
Over the past few years, Wesley has often credited laughter as one of the biggest reasons their relationship works so well. In an earlier interview, he joked that the two funniest beings in his life are his dog Greg and Natalie, adding that constantly making each other laugh has become the foundation of their relationship.
This marks Wesley’s third marriage. He was previously married to actress Torrey DeVitto from 2011 to 2013 and later to jewelry executive Ines de Ramon. Their divorce was finalized in 2024.
While celebrity weddings are often extravagant affairs, Wesley and Kuckenburg chose a more understated celebration focused on family, love and meaningful moments. Judging by the photos, Greg may have stolen just as much attention as the bride and groom.
Fans have already flooded social media with congratulations, celebrating not only the newlyweds but also the adorable four-legged “Best Boy” who helped make the day even more memorable.
