In the post, captioned “Mr. & Mrs. ๐Ÿค,” the two shared photos of their marriage at a courthouse in a civil ceremony.

“It was a beautifully intimate day that was celebrated with both of our families by our side,” the two said in a joint statement to PEOPLE.

The couple began dating in 2021. Two years after their first date, he proposed on a trip to Rome.

In an interview released at the time, Weaver said she was surprised by the proposal.

โ€œHe gave no tells that that day was the big day,โ€ Weaver said at the time. โ€œIn secret conversations with my mom, he was told to make sure I was dressed appropriately with my hair done and makeup on so Stephen suggested we take our โ€˜Christmas card photoโ€™ as his sneaky way of getting me to dress nice.โ€

The two arrived in Rome’s Giardino degli Aranci park as Weaver was โ€œcompletely unaware of what was about to happen.”

“We arrived at the park, and I started taking photos of Rome’s skyline,โ€ Weaver said. โ€œStephen, very cleverly, communicated with a local photographer he had hired to snap photos of the proposal using hand signals they had discussed over email. He reached into his backpack and pulled out a black ring box. I then caught on and was overwhelmed with emotions. He got down on one knee and opened the box with the most beautiful ring.”
