The couple confirmed the news on July 21, their one-week anniversary, with MrBeast posting a photo from the ceremony on Instagram alongside the caption: &#8220;I found MrsBeast \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f and it was <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:the best day of my life;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/pop-culture\/a\/alex-ocho\/mrbeast-responds-allegations-interview-lawsuit\" class=\"internal-link\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">the best day of my life<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:COMPLEX SHOP:;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/shop?utm_source=yahoo&amp;utm_medium=syndication&amp;utm_campaign=shop2025\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>COMPLEX SHOP:<\/strong><\/a><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

About 70 friends and family members gathered on the island for a week-long celebration that kicked off on July 14 and ran through Tuesday. A family friend who is an ordained minister officiated. Celebrity event planner Marcy Blum organized the festivities, with On the Move Entertainment supplying a live band for the reception.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Booysen wore a custom gown by Nicole + Felicia Couture and a bridal robe by Banke Kuku, with her look styled by Jeremy Noig. Donaldson wore a Ralph Lauren tuxedo. The couple&#8217;s first dance was to Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars&#8217; &#8220;Die With a Smile.&#8221; Dinner featured sushi, Wagyu beef, and fish, and the wedding cake was a carrot cake \u2014 Thea&#8217;s favorite.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Pre-ceremony days on the island included kitesurfing, snorkeling, and feeding the island&#8217;s lemurs and flamingos. The after-party moved to the main house for card games and board games.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The bride described the week in glowing terms in a statement to <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:PEOPLE;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;link&quot;,&quot;yLinkElementType&quot;:&quot;article_link&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/mrbeast-marries-thea-booysen-wedding-exclusive-11682946\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\"><em>PEOPLE<\/em><\/a>. &#8220;This is clich\u00e9, but it was heaven. We were so happy, and there was so much love. We work a lot and don&#8217;t get to be around all our friends and family, so to have everyone in one place was really special,&#8221; she said<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">MrBeast, for his part, kept things grounded. &#8220;It sounds silly, but this is really just a formality,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Ever since we started dating, we&#8217;ve been doing it with the goal of marriage. The difference is now the world knows we&#8217;re married, but we&#8217;ll still come home to our house and dogs and cats, and then we&#8217;re off to our next adventure!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The couple&#8217;s road to the altar began in 2022, when a mutual friend invited Booysen to dinner during a trip Donaldson made to South Africa. He proposed on Christmas Day 2024 at home, with both families present, opting for a private moment over any sort of public spectacle. &#8220;My friends thought I would want to propose in a very public way, like some sort of spectacle at the Super Bowl,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But I knew that I wanted it to be the opposite, to be really private and intimate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Booysen, who had already hinted at the upcoming nuptials by sharing photos from a bachelorette trip to Italy roughly a month prior, changed her Instagram name to Thea Donaldson following the marriage announcement. On July 11, Donaldson had previously teased the news on X with a characteristically low-key post: &#8220;No upload today, may or may not be getting married and a little occupied.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3
