Jillian Michaels and DeShanna Marie Minuto are married.

The duo, who tied the knot on Saturday at one of eight monumental palazzos on the Grand Canal in Venice, Italy, kicked off their three-day wedding celebration with an dinner at the Belmond Cipriani, according to People.

Their guests arrived by Venetian boats and were greeted with champagne before enjoying a three-course Italian dinner.

During the intimate ceremony that consisted of 50 of their closest friends and family, Michaels surprised her bride with a 7-carat emerald wedding ring.

"She's beautiful, she's funny and she's so creative," Michaels told People. "But all that shiny stuff in the beginning doesn't last. So what makes you say to yourself, 'I want to walk alongside this human for the rest of my life.' And I take that really seriously. I'm 49. I've never married anyone. I just didn't believe that there was a human I could do that with until DeShanna."

After indulging in a candlelit dinner of tuna tartare, paccheri cacio e pepe and fillet with courgettes cream and a saffron and Amarone reduction, guests gathered at a historic church that was converted into a custom nightclub for a masquerade after-party, according to the publication.

To end the celebrations, the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a "floral farewell" brunch at the renowned Locanda Cipriani on the island of Torcello, People reported.

The pair got in engaged in November 2021 before legally tying the knot at a Miami courthouse in July 2022.

"It's a dream come true," Michales told People. "It's us two against the world. No matter what, we have each other, we have each other's backs."
