Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt are officially married!

Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt officially tied the know in a New York City courthouse this week! The Bachelor in Paradise couple was an instant fan-favorite during the show’s seventh season and has continued to be so in the months that followed after.

The couple tied the knot quietly at City Hall on Thursday and said “I do” to a lifetime together. The initial plan was and still is to have a reception next fall, but the couple simply couldn’t wait to make it official.

“We can’t wait to celebrate with all of our family and friends next year at our wedding,” Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt told PEOPLE, “because who doesn’t want to marry the love of their life twice?”

I couldn’t have said it better myself!

Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt said “I do!”

Natasha Parker was the couple’s witness during the ceremony as she has seen Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt’s relationship blossom from the start. It was a special moment, and we couldn’t be happier for them. Seriously they are so stinking cute!

Amabile and Pitt took to Instagram to share their happy news with a video of them kissing after their “I dos.” You can check out the short video here!

The couple got engaged on Bachelor in Paradise Season 7, and soon after the show wrapped, they stayed in a long-distance relationship until they moved in together in New York City in March of this year. Things have been smooth sailing since then, and the married couple even got a chance to celebrate their engagement with family in Pitt’s hometown of Toronto.

We can’t wait to learn more about Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt’s upcoming wedding ceremony–and trust us when we say we will keep you updated!

Congratulations to Joe, Serena, and all the Bachelor Nation couples celebrating this week!
