The groom-to-be looked dashing in a white shirt and black suit with a coordinated pocket square for the wedding rehearsal and dinner.

The happy pair met in 2016 when JoJo, a real estate developer, was looking for love as The Bachelorette. 

She and the good-looking sportscaster had instant chemistry and got engaged on the season finale, but waited a while before tying the knot.

The pandemic put a crimp in some of their plans, making it necessary to reschedule their efforts to become husband and wife in 2020 and 2021. 

The couple were finally able to tie the knot in front of family and friends with the bride wearing an exquisite Ines de Santo gown and the groom wearing a classic black tuxedo.

After the ceremony, an elated JoJo changed into a dazzling reception dress with a crisscross halter top, a thigh high slit and fringe.
