Chantel described their wedding as "classic, elegant, and romantic" with "a fairy-tale feel."
"As two women, there is something deeply meaningful about celebrating our love openly and proudly," Chantel told People.
"Our wedding is a celebration, but our marriage is the everyday commitment to growing together, creating a home, and being each other's family."
Chantel and Ashley's wedding took place less than a year after Ashley proposed marriage at Uhuburg, a Renaissance castle in Helen, GA, in December 2025.
"Picture-perfect in every way," 90 Day Fiance's Instagram account captioned a collection of wedding photos it shared on Tuesday, October 30.
"Chantel and Ashley celebrated their love with a beautiful wedding, and we can't get enough of these photos from their special day."
For their big day, the couple selected white, ivory, muted green and light blue decorations, incorporating flowers, greenery and candlelight into the estate setting.
"We wanted the entire day to feel personal and true to us," Chantel explained.
"We're a nontraditional couple who loves timeless romance, so we blended classic bridal details with meaningful touches that celebrate our love story. More than anything, we want everyone to feel the love Ashley and I share."
Before becoming wives, Chantel and Ashley exchanged handwritten vows privately so they could concentrate on each other and the promises they were making.

During their outdoor ceremony, Chantel wore a custom TTON Couture gown featuring elaborate embellishments, while Ashley sported a jeweled white suit and sparkling sneakers.
The pair walked down a grass aisle scattered with white rose petals.
Chantel said she wanted her bridal look to feel "timeless, elegant, and romantic, with a little fairy-tale magic."
"I wanted to feel beautiful and confident, but also completely myself," she added.
The couple also reserved an empty ceremony chair in memory of loved ones who had died.

Chantel and Ashley hired an officiant from the LGBTQ+ community to lead the ceremony, and Chantel noted, "It was important to Ashley and me to feel understood and celebrated as we made this commitment to each other."
"We wanted our ceremony to reflect who we are, our love story, and the life we're building together," she elaborated. "Having LGBTQ+ representation in such a central role meant a lot to us."
At their reception, Chantel and Ashley shared their first dance to "She's My Handsome" by 76th Street.
Chantel explained that the lesbian band's music resonated with their relationship and helped them express what their wedding day meant to them.
Guests enjoyed a Southern-inspired dinner featuring citrus herb chicken, white fish with caper broth and beef tenderloin, followed by a three-tier wedding cake with a rainbow center. Cookies and late-night sausage and cheddar biscuit sliders were also served.
After the celebration, Chantel and Ashley departed by helicopter for The St. Regis Atlanta, where they spent their wedding night.
Ashley then surprised Chantel with a honeymoon at Le Blanc Spa Resort Cancun in Mexico the following day.
"Our next chapter is about enjoying life as a married couple and giving ourselves room to dream together," Chantel told the magazine.
"We're looking forward to new adventures, growing closer, and discovering what the future holds. We don't have every detail planned, but we're excited to keep building a life we love together."

Chantel came out about her sexuality on 90 Day: Hunt for Love in 2025.
Before Chantel left to film 90 Day: Hunt for Love, she apparently had a mind-blowing kiss with her then-best friend that made her question everything -- including whether she wanted to pursue men at all.

Chantel told Swooon in September 2025 that Ashley was friends with her brothers before they connected.
"I met Ashley through River and partying, basically. I met her through River at one of his birthday parties, and we got really close after that, and she just became a really good friend of mine," Chantel revealed at the time.
"I remember asking one of my friends one time, I was just wondering like, 'Do you think Ashley likes me?' And they're like, 'Oh no, no, she doesn't like you. She's just being a really good friend.' But hindsight's 20/20. She had romantic feelings for me."
Chantel said, however, it took some time before their platonic relationship turned romantic.
"I feel like what we have built is very healthy," Chantel said. "So it feels good to be in a committed relationship with somebody who I feel safe with."
Chantel was previously married to Pedro Jimeno. The pair starred on multiple 90 Day Fiance spinoffs, including 90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?, before they split in 2022.
Their relationship was also documented on TLC's The Family Chantel for five seasons.
On the Tell All of 90 Day: Hunt for Love that aired in September 2025, Chantel revealed that she and Ashley were living together.
"We are having such a good time in life. We do everything together," Chantel announced.
"We have a lot of great sex together," Ashley added.
Chantel then claimed that her family thought her relationship with Ashley was "nasty" because everyone had assumed she was going to end up with a man, such as a professional athlete or doctor.

"Ashley, I do feel like you're a clout chaser," Karen said.
Ashley, in turn, alleged that Karen was just trying to ruin her relationship with Chantel.
Karen said she was coming from a place of protection because Pedro had allegedly used her daughter for fame and money and then left.
"I am not upset about Chantel being with a woman; I just don't want her to get hurt at the end of the day," Karen explained.
Chantel proceeded to reveal to her mom that she loved Ashley.
"How would you feel if it was me and Ashley getting married?" Chantel asked.
"I'm an extremely worried mom, but Chantel, I would come to the wedding," Karen confirmed.
Chantel said she was grateful for her mother's support, even though her mom tended to overreact and blow things out of proportion.
