Runaway June's Jennifer Wayne married her fiancé Austin Moody yesterday (1/9) in California after they were engaged just twelve days earlier on December 28.

Because of COVID, the couple opted for a "very small" wedding ceremony on the beach with less than 20 guests, inviting only their immediate family and best friends.

The couple told People, "We are taking COVID very seriously and have requested that all of the guests receive a recent COVID test before attending. We are having the ceremony outdoors with plenty of room to social distance."

The couple chose Santa Rosa Beach for their ceremony because they said that they love the area and "really wanted to get married on the water."

For the "something borrowed" of the "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue" tradition, Wayne wore her grandmother Pilar Pallete's engagement ring from her grandfather, late film icon John Wayne.

She shared with People, "On their 10th anniversary, he matched the diamond and had it reset in a flower setting. Austin used his grandmother's diamonds to create an engagement ring for me [made with help from my best friend's mom, Dobrila Pintar,] in the flower setting as well. So, I bought all of the ladies in the wedding birth month flower earrings from Local Eclectic to keep the theme."

Jennifer posted to Instagram, "I got to marry my favorite person in the world last night... @theaustinmoody . My forever now."
