Caila and her fiance Nick Burrello got married in a waterfront ceremony in Sarasota, FL, on Sunday, May 30.

"There are no words to describe how magical this day was. I am overwhelmed by all the love from our guests, hard work from our talented vendors, and special moments with my best friend," Caila captioned two wedding photos Sunday on her Instagram account.

Caila and Nick initially wanted to tie the knot in Lake Como, Italy in May 2021 and have a second local ceremony in the Midwest to accommodate all of their loved ones, but they felt the need to cancel both weddings due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Caila admitted the decision was a heartbreaking one, but it appears Caila and Nick ultimately decided to exchange vows in Sarasota, where Nick actually proposed marriage to The Bachelor alum on January 2, 2020 after two years of dating.

On Monday, Caila posted more wedding photos on Instagram and called the event "our little slice of Italy in Sarasota, Florida."

"We chose the Ringling Museum of Art for the love story behind it. We were taken by John & Mabel Ringling's dedication to one another and their mutual adoration for travel, Italy, and Art," Caila wrote in the caption.

"This entire day was meaningful [in] so many ways... But what meant so much was how easily the day flowed thanks to our wonderful day-of vendors!"

Caila -- who donned a beautiful A-line gown with a plunging neckline -- gushed about her wedding planner, her hair and makeup, the couple's wedding photographer, and her flowers.

The couple recited handwritten vows under a 10-foot floral arch, Us Weekly reported.

Caila told the magazine she is "so excited" to announce she and Nick are finally married.

"It was truly a dream day in Sarasota... Wish it didn't have to end!" she exclaimed.

Wedding guests reportedly included fellow The Bachelor alums Sharleen Joynt and Olivia Caridi.

"We haven't gathered in so long, and a lot of my loved ones have been, you know, very safe, and haven't even left their own house in over a year," Caila told Us earlier this month.

"I appreciate the one time that they're going somewhere is for me and my fiance and to see us finally say, 'I do.' It just means so much that this is the moment that people chose to travel."

Caila and Nick were set up by a mutual friend and went public with their relationship in October 2017 after Nick met her parents, which was well over a year after Caila appeared on Ben Higgins' season of The Bachelor.

On The Bachelor's 20th season, Ben eliminated Caila right after his round of overnight Fantasy Suite dates in favor of eventual runner-up JoJo Fletcher and winner Lauren Bushnell, from whom he split in May 2017.

Caila, who was 24-years-old at the time Ben broke up with her, was blindsided, crushed and sent home before a Rose Ceremony in Jamaica.

"I thought I'd be getting engaged in a week-and-a-half. I was ready," Caila said in tears following her ouster.

"I was ready to get married. I was ready to be his wife. I was ready. I was ready for our future. It's all I thought about. My purpose in life is to love other people and I don't know why I haven't found it yet. I thought this was it. I thought this was it. I was ready. I didn't see this coming. I love him, too. Like, I still love him."

That same year, Caila appeared on Season 3 of Bachelor in Paradise and left the show still dating Jared Haibon.


Caila even met Jared's family in Rhode Island, but she revealed during an August 2016 episode of After Paradise that "mystical forces" contributed to their split.

Jared's tight friendship with a very jealous and possessive Ashley Iaconetti seemed to be the reason behind his split with Caila about six weeks after filming wrapped.

Jared and Ashley reconciled in May 2018 after remaining friends for years and tied the knot in August 2019.

Although Caila didn't find love on The Bachelor franchise, she told Us last year her experience on reality TV placed her on a path that eventually led to meeting her future husband.

"I feel really lucky because I feel like I wasn't meant to go on the show to find love there," explained Caila, who moved from Ohio to New York after her The Bachelor stint.

"I was meant to go on the show to find Nick. If I wasn't on the show, I wouldn't ever have met him because I would never have been a blogger and that's who introduced us and set us up on our first date. So, I think everything happens for a reason and I thank God every day."
