"I do thee legally wed!!" Gabby captioned her post.
Gabby posted a carousel of photos in which she was baring her nipples in a white long-sleeve minidress with a ruffled skirt.
Gabby's dress had a sheer bodice with a mock neck that exposed her nipples, and she also rocked a waist-length veil and white pointed-toe heels.
Robby, for her part, was wearing black pants, an ivory dress shirt, and dark sunglasses.
The couple posed for photos smiling big and kissing outside of what appeared to be a courthouse. The pair also dove into a cake as part of their celebration.
Gabby and Robby's first wedding was a 20-minute ceremony that cost under $800 in Las Vegas.
In a joint interview with Robby, Gabby told Cosmopolitan in early March that Robby proposed marriage to her and then they tied the knot shortly afterward in "the best" experience ever.
"In a weird way, it was giving Bachelor because there were roses everywhere. I never envisioned my wedding as a kid or anything, but that's part of what made this feel so right... It was so us," Gabby shared.
Robby, 35, noted how there was so much "love and openness" on that special day.
Gabby and Robby got engaged and married in Las Vegas after they had to evacuate their home in Los Angeles due to the Pacific Palisades wildfires. (Gabby had announced the couple's evacuation via social media on January 8).

"What better time to get married than right now? Because if the world is ending, we want to be with each other."
Robby said it "felt right" to have an intimate and private wedding since their relationship has played out in the public eye.
"People are like, 'How does it feel after you're married? Does it feel the same?' And the answer is honestly 'No, it feels better. I feel more committed. This is my wife,'" Gabby shared.
"I think we just feel more comfortable," Robby said, adding, "She loves me for me."

Gabby agreed and elaborated, "There's a comfort that comes with knowing you want to be together forever. Having Robby in my corner and believing in me, she's helped me so much in the two years we've been together."
Gabby met Robby after competing on Clayton Echard's season of The Bachelor and then starring on The Bachelorette's 19th season alongside Rachel Recchia.

Gabby previously said she began questioning her sexuality at age 30 and then her desire to date women became stronger while on tour for Dancing with the Stars' 31st season.
Gabby met Robby outside of a bar, and Robby apparently charmed The Bachelorette alum with her personality and sense of humor.
Gabby told BachelorNation.com in April 2024, "It's less about labels and what my sexuality is and more that I just fell in love. So yes, I was exploring, but there was something about our connection that was really special."
Gabby said she "knew early on" in her romance with Robby that they're "right for each other, and Robby said she had the same intuition.
In October 2023, Gabby said while she'd like to get engaged again, she didn't want to rush it with Robby.
"I do want to get married. I think it's another level of commitment to bring two people closer," Gabby explained to Us Weekly at the time.
"I think I'm just now getting on my feet, getting accustomed to this new life, really finding myself processing all the big change that's happened in a couple of years. So I kind of want to revel in that and I don't want to rush a relationship."

But when it came to the idea of potentially starting a family, Gabby confessed on the "Just B with Bethenny Frankel" podcast in September 2023, "We don't want kids."
When asked if she and Robby had made that decision together, Gabby shared, "Both of us didn't want them separately... Honestly, with Robby, I would love to see little Robbys, and I would love to see her as a mom because she's so hilarious and she's so present."
Gabby was apparently living her best life and so she didn't want her dynamic with Robby to change.
"We both had tumultuous childhoods and we both went through so much as kids, so we want to be kids now!" Gabby explained on the podcast.

Gabby said she had "a lot of shame" to work through after her time on The Bachelor franchise but now she loves being in a monogamous relationship with Robby and believes "real love transcends gender."
Gabby continued, "I'm with a woman because I feel more emotionally connected. I feel safer with your soul and I like your being... We know what it's like to be a woman and we think similarly."
Gabby was previously engaged to her The Bachelorette winner Erich Schwer.
Gabby and Erich got engaged on The Bachelorette's nineteenth-season finale, which aired in September 2022, but Gabby announced their amicable breakup just two short months later during an episode of Dancing with the Stars' 31st season.
"I do feel like [I was a] little caught up in 'Bachelor world.' I think it is a little dated," Gabby told Us about accepting Erich Schwer's marriage proposal on the show.
When Gabby and Erich's engagement ended, Gabby said she and her former fiance weren't "in sync" or "the best match" for each other.
