Here’s a paparazzi photo of magnificent wedded bliss between two soulmates who are “literally perfect” together. That’s the word coming down from Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed’s camps. They wed on Sunday in Malibu. Ian carried Nikki away from the altar because that’s what vampires do. These two seem really happy together, although I still toss them a side-eye for their posed engagement ring photos and thirsty “novelty” shop visits. Ian and Nikki started dating last July. Within a month, they adopted a horse together. After six months of dating, they got engaged. Three months later, a wedding has happened. Those are quick organizational skills for a full-on ceremony, so it must be true love. Here are the details from People (which has more pics):
In a match made in vampire heaven, Nikki Reed has officially tied the knot with Ian Somerhalder. The Twilight alum, 26, married the Vampire Diaries star, 36, Sunday in Malibu, California, PEOPLE has confirmed.
In images from the wedding ceremony, which happened at Topanga Canyon, the couple can be seen holding tight to each other as they stare into the horizon. The bride wore an elegant fishtail gown with lace sleeves, while the groom looker dapper in an all-white suit.
The nuptials cap off an affectionate year for the couple, who were first spotted together last July. The animal-loving duo adopted a horse they named Eagle a month later, shortly after they publicly packed on the PDA at Comic-Con.
[T]he pair make it clear their relationship extends far beyond infatuation. [Nikki] said literally wake up in the morning and discuss how to make the world a better place. “We do wake up in the morning and talk about those things,” she says. Even better? She says they never fight — except about one teensy thing. “He thinks his eyes are ocean blue and I think they’re aqua,” she said at the event.
The couple aren’t the only ones who think they’re relationship is special. Somerhalder’s Vampire Diaries costar Kat Graham recently told PEOPLE the duo are “literally perfect.”
“I haven’t met two people that were more of soul mates than those guys,” she says. “They literally are perfect — from their Humane Society work together to them wanting to make the world a better place,” Graham added. “I mean, it’s really exciting when you see two people come together that are amazing.”

E! adds that Nikki and Ian asked guests to donate to their preferred animal rescue charity in lieu of gifts. That’s a nice touch, especially since several of Nikki’s friends just attended her first wedding (to singer Paul McDonald) a few years ago! Seriously though, I wish Ian and Nikki well. They’re both really into animals and seem like nice (thirsty) people. Both managed to keep their wedding off social media for the most part, except for this tweet from Ian before the ceremony. Congrats to the vampires!
most beautiful morning ever…

That was quick.
Congrats. She looks lovely in her dress.
“literally wake up in the morning and discuss how to make the world a better place.”
Nikki and Ian must be that mysterious couple that Amalooney hangs out when they are saving the world.
I’ve never seen the word literally used so much in one article.
I wish them well though.
They sound idealistic…and insufferable.
Welp, this is either going to end quickly or last a long time. Congrats
Agreed. I’m pulling for them. I know a lot of people find them annoying, but they seem very sincerely sweet and well intentioned to me. I think they might genuinely be two very good people who are happy to have found each other.
I hope this works for them (because being the eternal optimist I am, I hope all people who enter into marriage intend to put in the effort to make it work), but I’ll admit, it’s all just too cutesy and OMG *literally perfect* for me. Makes my teeth hurt.
I agree with you Heather! They seem so harmless to me. I wish them happiness and success!
Me too. I don’t have strong feelings about either of them individually but they seem genuinely happy and nice and I hope it works out for them.
I agree. They’re really cute together. The cynical part of me says give them another nine months and they’ll probably divorce, but I hope not.
I don’t have a good feeling about these two. Her thing seems to be jumping into marriage quickly. I just don’t think it’s going to work.
I agree!!
Yep. Is she actually having a brain? Seriously, when your first (or was it her second already?) marriage goes wrong, you wait quite a time to make it right the next time. You don’t LITERALLY adopt the lifestyle of your new boyfriend and wed a few months later. That’s just unbelievably stupid. I don’t buy them for a second, they won’t last – mark my words.
Well… That Escalated Quickly *shuffles papers together*
He is so beautiful!! I hope they are happy!!
*Jack Shepherd tears* BOONE 4EVA
I think it’s healthy to have fights. In my experience, I think I would get bored of I never argued with my significant other. But I like to argue, so theres that.
Having disagreements isn’t the same as fighting, though. You can disagree and have arguments which never escalated into full blown fights.
Yeaj, I’m with you on that. A bit of good old yelling never hurt anyone.
The arguments I’ve had with my BF have ended up really strengthening our relationship. But to each is own I guess.
I love that they both care so much about animals and asked people to donate to an animal charity in lieu of a present.
If you don’t fight every once in a while, you are probably bottling up some resentment somewhere. Even if it’s not over something big/important, it seems very unrealistic to say you “never” argue. I don’t care how much you love each other or are in tune with each other, you are an individual and have your own thoughts and bad days and irritating habits, as does your partner.
I don’t think they never fight.
Nikki is from an abusive home where things were really volatile. Her definition of a fight may be different from what we think. She likely meant they don’t scream at each other, but likely talk through their disagreements, which is just as healthy.
I don’t know why, but I cackled reading this. She moves pretty fast it seems from one marriage to another.
Judging from interviews and fan encounters, Ian is a really really nice person ( I don’t know why, but I don’t expect men that pretty be that nice). I wish them well.
I met him once and became a huge fan of his after meeting. My friend actually knocked over his coffee and he was really great about it. He wouldn’t let us clean it up, he did it himself. We kept apologizing and Sammy (my friend) offered to buy him a new one and he wouldn’t hear of it. He didn’t act famous at all. Or at least not how I thought famous people might act.
He seems like a lovely guy- if a little too thirsty. I don’t know all that much about Nikki Reid save for her brief marriage and her role in Twilight but I hope this marriage works out for them.
They seem sweet and sure it is rushed but they have known each other for quite awhile. And I tend to believe the rumours that Ian has wanted to settle down for a long time so maybe they were both looking for commitment, found each other and share each other’s values. There are worse things to base a marriage on
He seems like a caring person. That photo of him carrying her is adorable. Best of luck to them.
Vampire weddings. Okay then.
Jumping into marriage seems to be her thing, no? She and Paul got engaged and married within a few months, too.
Definitely. She met Paul in March, they were engaged in June, married October, all in 2011. So this is her thing, but you never know. Maybe it will work. Just not enough time to let the infatuation wear off.
Congrats! I like these two (granted I have no clue what they have been on), but from the pics that I have seen on the interwebz they seemed chilled and happy.
I’m sure there are going to be tons of comments about how it’s not going to work because it’s too quick but I hope they can just ignore those. They seem cute and happy and I hope that lasts for them.
The amount of time people have been together is never a good indicator. My aunt and uncle got married after 3 months when they were both 18 because my aunt was pregnant ( sounds like a recipe for disaster, doesn’t it?). They have been married for 20 years now and have one of the best marriages I know. My other uncle dated his wife for 9 years before they got married and they have been also married for 15 years now and have a really good marriage. You never know with these things.
one example is hardly proof. that goes for the other side of this argument, too, obviously.
I can be another example.
I knew my husband for 4 months before we got married 16 years ago. We were young, but we each keep developing and contributing to our marriage as well as our individuality. We have 2 kids, 9 and 11, both have interesting careers.
@Hannah There is a reason people are making comments like that. Nikki wasn’t divorced before she got engaged to Ian. Pardon me if I’m a little skeptical about this marriage.
There’s nothing wrong with a healthy dose of reality. Nikki rushed into her first marriage when she was 21/22, and she had only known the guy a few months. When things went pear-shaped, she quickly took up with Ian. They got engaged before her divorce was finalized and now three months later, she’s married again. Experiences may vary, but this doesn’t seem like a recipe for a long and happy marriage.
It’s because she’s been down this road before. She dated her first husband for a few months, married him and then divorced him after two years.
She’s only 26?! I though she was at the very least late 20s if not early 30s. I give them 6 months to a year.
Right? I thought she was at least 30.
If I’m not mistaken I think there have been comments on other threads about her having toyed with her age, especially given the timeline with her writing and starring in 13.
Well good for them I guess.
Hope it lasts longer than her last marriage.
Btw judging from the DM article even their wedding looks thirsty! My god…
its pretty sad that this is the only way for them to be relevant.
well at least some animal charities got something out of it.
I rolled my eyes so hard they ache at the blue eye stuff.
But congrats and good luck to them!
pass the bucket time over here as well!
Me, too! He thinks his eyes are ocean blue? How many guys do you know that have an opinion on the particular hue of their eyes? Ask my husband what color his eyes are and he’d have to pull out his driver’s license to check.
I wish them well, but they strike me as the kind of couple who are more in love with how great they look together than anything else.
He’s a former model so it’s really no surprise he spent a bit more time thinking about his looks than the average guy. And his eyes are usually considered one of his best features.
She married her 1st husband after 7 months and her 2nd husband after 9 months. Maybe she’ll wait a whole year before marrying the 3rd.
She sure does love to get marry. Congrats to the couple.
I can see this working. Yes, they’re both thirsty, but sometimes I think that two people who have the same annoying traits tend to be perfect for each other. They won’t be annoyed with each other’s antics, and maybe they enjoy scheming together. They also seem to have many of the same positive traits, so I can see this being a happy relationship.
Congrats to them. That seems quick though, like her first marriage- hopefully they really are good together and it lasts.
Congrats to them. On the one hand they seem soooo suited for one another. Like they found the right mate.
On the other hand, Nikki’s prior marriage makes me wonder if she jumped in too fast. Ian waited a fair amount of time before marrying though so I dunno. Is it true that he wanted to marry Nina or is that shipper talk? Maybe he’s just at that “marrying age”?
Good luck to them! They seem like well meaning, good people. đŸ™‚
That is one of the rumors. Ian was supposedly preparing to propose marriage but Nina was not ready. It makes sense given the fact Nina was in her early twenties and he was in his early thirties. The timing was off.
Yeah it’s interesting since Nina and Nikki are the same age. But like you said, maybe it was just timing. Or maybe Nikki is more ready to settle down.
I’d rather wake up and have morning sex than talk about how to make the world a better place. That’s too much talk for me in the morning before my coffee. Literally.
