Christie and Jamie's wedding took place at Itzik Wedding Venue, and the newlyweds called their nuptials a "dream come true from start to finish," according to Us Weekly.
Christie and Jamie said they decided on a destination wedding to give their guests a "beautiful trip" and a "little escape" from reality.
"It was the most special day of both our lives," the spouses told Us.
"We can't stop talking about it and looking at the photos in awe! All the months of planning and picking out every little detail just came together and it was perfect! We both just keep saying that it was literally the best night of our lives. Such a blast and so connective."
The pair actually discussed getting married in Tulum on their seventh date.
"We came here together super early on in our relationship and we joked about just eloping while we were there. We didn't, but we said, 'This is where we'll do it one day,'" the women said.

The two brides both wore form-fitted low cut and sleeveless white dresses with their long hair down and curled for their big day.

"To finally do it for real was so beautiful," Christie gushed.
Christie and Jamie had already obtained their marriage license in December 2021, when they conducted a sweet ceremony in their New Jersey home surrounded by immediate family.
"We're just incredibly grateful for how seamless the wedding week has been!" the women gushed.
"We loved having our friends and family there to experience the biggest day of our lives -- the only thing missing was our pups [Ruffles and Beans], but we head home tomorrow to see them!"
Christie competed on Big Brother's 21st season in 2019.
She therefore invited her fellow Season 21 houseguests Analyse Talavera, Nick Maccarone, Holly Allen and Tommy Bracco to the wedding. Big Brother Season 19 alum Elena Davies also made an appearance as well as The Real World's Marie Roda.
"It was so special to have them come be a part of this. It was the reunion we all needed and to do it in the middle of the jungle was so dope," Christie recalled of having the reality TV stars in attendance.

Christie and Jamie got engaged in August 2021 in front of the Eiffel Tower in France.
"Haven't yet woken up from this dream. Engaged to the LOVE OF MY LIFE in Paris!" Christie captioned Instagram photos of the romantic marriage proposal at the time.
Christie met Jamie shortly after she returned home from her stint on Big Brother.
"I don't know, I just [had] a very strange feeling... that something bigger is coming and if I was away in Iceland [filming The Challenge], it wouldn't have happened," Christie said during a January 2021 episode of the "Hello, Friends" podcast, according to the magazine.
"I was like, 'I'm telling you, I think I'm gonna, like, meet my soul mate this week or something,' like, kind of joking... Three days later, I met Jamie."
Christie clearly thought her decision to not compete on The Challenge was meant to be.
"When the universe wants you to meet the person it's gonna happen when you're not really looking. She's awesome, she's actually moving to Jersey, she's moving in with me this weekend, it's official," Christie shared at the time.
"I live in Jersey, the house that I was just talking about that I bought, that's where I still live. She's from Brooklyn and now she moved two bridges over to me... We've been slowly moving her in."
Christie was evicted from Big Brother's 21st season during a special double-eviction episode that aired in early September 2019.

"[Jackson Michie] is going to win. He deserves it, he's amazing. He's winning comps. He's actually a genius; I don't think he's as dumb as he says," Christie told Big Brother host Julie Chen in her live post-eviction interview.
Christie's prediction was an accurate one, because Michie went on to win the game.
