Kai Fagan and Sanam Harrinanan officially tied the knot in a picture-perfect £39K wedding over the weekend.
The Love Island winners, both 27, took to Instagram on Saturday to confirm that they are husband and wife as they shared stunning snaps from their special day.
Kai and Sanam said ‘I do’ during a romantic countryside ceremony at the lavish High House in Essex, where weddings can cost from £10,995 up to £38,995.
Sanam looked nothing short of sensational in a beautiful off the shoulder wedding dress complete with a floral lace bodice and tulle skirt.
The new Mrs Fagan looked gorgeous in the number from Lotte Rose Bridal in Bedford, as she walked down the aisle carrying a bouquet of pink roses and purple flowers.
Meanwhile Kai cut a very dapper figure in a black Moss suit which he teamed with a matching bow tie and white shirt.
The couple, who won the dating show in 2023, looked more loved-up than ever during their day as Kai picked up Sanam and twirled her around the gardens.
The pair celebrated with their closest family and friends, who were seen showering the newlyweds with confetti.
Ahead of the day, Sanam filmed a fun TikTok with her four bridesmaids, who were dressed in matching floor-length purple dresses.
The couple later enjoyed their traditional Indian reception party as Sanam slipped into a dazzling white dress which she accessorised with chandelier earrings and several bracelets.
The newlyweds couldn’t contain their smiles as they took to the dancefloor to celebrate their day with friends.
They captioned the post: ‘Mr and Mrs Fagan forever and always 01/08/2025.’
Alongside the video of their wedding, they added: ‘Sharing a snippet of our most magical day’.
Meanwhile, the newlyweds tucked into a two-tier buttercream cake adorned with white and lilac flowers.
The cake was made by Sanam’s Casa Amor pal Cynthia Taiwo, with the professional baker expressing her love for the couple as she shared a snap of the cake on her Instagram.
She penned: ‘Thank you thank you thank you for trusting me to make this cake for you on such a special day. Myself and Sanam walked into the Love Island villa together, so this was a full circle moment for me.
‘Cheers to Mr and Mrs Fagan.’
One fan took to the comments to say they ‘love how the couple incorporated her ethnicity into the wedding with the Indian style’, prompting Sanam to reply: ‘Thank you. Waiting for the rest of the photos to come through but you’ll see it soon’.
While their celebrity pals including Love Island co-stars flooded them with congratulatory messages.
Claudia Fogarty wrote: ‘Congratulations to you both, you look beautiful xxx.’
Ron Hall said: ‘A special couple and a special love,’ while his ex Lana Jenkins gushed: ‘Beautiful photos guys, congratulations.’
Lucie Donlan commented: ‘Wow, congratulations guys,’ and Wes Nelson also penned: ‘Congratulations.’
With Casey O’Gorman sharing: ‘Winners for a reason congrats guys.’
The couple’s stunning wedding venue allows couples to either say their vows in the Grade II listed Essex Barn, before enjoying their reception in the brand new orangery.
Guests can mingle in the lush gardens with it’s peaceful water feature and take a stroll through the vineyard entrance before later winding down in the recently renovated onsite accommodation featuring its own pool.
Ahead of their big day, Kai told how Sanam had took charge of most of the wedding planning.
He told The Sun: She’s taking a bit of control of this because I never had a dream wedding. A lot of young girls have a dream wedding and know exactly what they want.
‘And that’s going to be her special day at the end of the day. So it’s got to be perfect for her. But I’d marry her anywhere I’d go to the registry office in Manchester tomorrow.’
The couple announced their engagement in April 2024, one a year after meeting and falling in love in the Mallorca villa.
In recent days, they kept fans up-to-date with the lead-up to their wedding, giving a glimpse into their preparations on Instagram.
Taking to their respective accounts on Thursday, the pair got themselves spruced up for their big day, with Kai seen getting a fresh trim for the occasion.
The P.E teacher shared snaps of himself in a barber’s chair as his pal gave him a hair cut, writing in his caption: ‘Trim completed. Now time to log off for a few days, enjoy life, be present and marry the love of my life.’
Meanwhile, social worker Sanam showed off her gorgeous wedding nails on her stories, with her fingernails adorned with pearl and sequin embellishments.
She simply wrote alongside her snap: ‘Tomorrow’, alongside emojis of a bride and groom.
Last week, both the bride and groom shared snaps of their hen and stag parties as they let their hair down with pals ahead of tying the knot.
Sanam jetted off to Ibiza with her pals and her mother, while Kai and his friends had a grand time on their own sport-themed trip, larking around and drinking.
Kai also paid tribute to his future wife ahead of their wedding day as he got her name tattooed on his arm.
The couple met on the hit ITV show in March 2023 in the infamous Casa Amor, and came out as the winning couple.
The two lovebirds have been going strong ever since, and in April 2024, they announced their engagement as Kai got down on one knee while boating in Cambridge.
During the romantic proposal in Cambridge, Sanam was dressed in bridal white while Kai opted for a matching coloured jacket.
They passionately kissed one another in another lovely photo before celebrating by popping champagne.
They recently revealed why their relationship has lasted longer than other couples’ relationships from the programme as they took a swipe at their co-stars.
Speaking to OK! magazine, the couple explained the sacrifices they have had to make to maintain their relationship.
Kai said: ‘The difference between Love Island couples and ordinary couples is that there is a lot of pressure on the relationship when you leave the villa.
‘What makes Sanam and I different is that you have to decide what you want more: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you’re in a relationship with.
‘You get invited to parties but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle. We enjoy every moment together and we do things the other person is interested in, too.’
The couple are famously humble, with Sanam going straight back into social work after the show, instead of launching a career as an influencer.
