Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE following their Italian engagement on Nov. 15, 2023, the couple revealed how Weaver was thrown off the scent of the proposal, which took place “exactly two years” after their very first date.
“He gave no tells that that day was the big day,” Weaver said at the time. “In secret conversations with my mom, he was told to make sure I was dressed appropriately with my hair done and makeup on so Stephen suggested we take our ‘Christmas card photo’ as his sneaky way of getting me to dress nice.”
The couple announced their marriage in a joint post on Instagram in October 2025 that featured photos from their courthouse wedding.
“Mr. & Mrs. 🤍,” they captioned the post.
“It was a beautifully intimate day that was celebrated with both of our families by our side,” Colletti and Weaver told PEOPLE of the day.
The Reunion: Laguna Beach debuts on the Roku Channel on April 10.
