Congratulations are in order for Astrid Loch and Kevin Wendt. Nearly one year after welcoming their first child together, the "Bachelor in Paradise" alums finally tied the knot in an outdoor wedding at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota, Florida.
According to PEOPLE, the 32-year-old and the 38-year-old exchanged vows in front of 100 guests on Friday, October 28. Among those in attendance were fellow Bachelor Nation stars Rachel Lindsay, Blake Horstmann, Alexis Waters, Kristina Schulman and Whitney Fransway.
Astrid and Kevin briefly split after meeting on "Bachelor in Paradise" in 2018. After getting back together, the pair got engaged in August 2019. The two, unfortunately, were forced to postpone their wedding due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They later welcomed son August in November last year.
The journey was worth the wait though as the couple said they've "been married for quite a bit." Kevin told PEOPLE, "We had the countdown for so long... It's going on two and a half years that we've been counting down the day."
The newlyweds revealed that they'll spend their honeymoon in The Bahamas. "It'll be the first time we leave August," the mom of one divulged. "So, my mom's going to watch him for five nights, about a week after the wedding. We're really excited for our first kid-free vacation since he was born."
As for their future plan, Astrid and Kevin noted that they plan to move out of Toronto and into the Canadian suburbs, where they want tp "lay down our roots for hopefully the next five, 10 years at least." The bride added, "Getting married and having people from the show and everything there, it's nice to look back and reflect and think that such a small choice of us both choosing to do that show led to everything that it's led to."
