Here’s a paparazzi photo of magnificent wedded bliss between two soulmates who are “literally perfect” together. That’s the word coming down from Ian Somerhalder and Nikki Reed’s camps. They wed on Sunday in Malibu. Ian carried Nikki away from the altar because that’s what vampires do. These two seem really happy together, although I still toss them a side-eye for their posed engagement ring photos and thirsty “novelty” shop visits. Ian and Nikki started dating last July. Within a month, they adopted a horse together. After six months of dating, they got engaged. Three months later, a wedding has happened. Those are quick organizational skills for a full-on ceremony, so it must be true love. Here are the details from People (which has more pics):

In a match made in vampire heaven, Nikki Reed has officially tied the knot with Ian Somerhalder. The Twilight alum, 26, married the Vampire Diaries star, 36, Sunday in Malibu, California, PEOPLE has confirmed.

In images from the wedding ceremony, which happened at Topanga Canyon, the couple can be seen holding tight to each other as they stare into the horizon. The bride wore an elegant fishtail gown with lace sleeves, while the groom looker dapper in an all-white suit.

The nuptials cap off an affectionate year for the couple, who were first spotted together last July. The animal-loving duo adopted a horse they named Eagle a month later, shortly after they publicly packed on the PDA at Comic-Con.

[T]he pair make it clear their relationship extends far beyond infatuation. [Nikki] said literally wake up in the morning and discuss how to make the world a better place. “We do wake up in the morning and talk about those things,” she says. Even better? She says they never fight — except about one teensy thing. “He thinks his eyes are ocean blue and I think they’re aqua,” she said at the event.

The couple aren’t the only ones who think they’re relationship is special. Somerhalder’s Vampire Diaries costar Kat Graham recently told PEOPLE the duo are “literally perfect.”

“I haven’t met two people that were more of soul mates than those guys,” she says. “They literally are perfect — from their Humane Society work together to them wanting to make the world a better place,” Graham added. “I mean, it’s really exciting when you see two people come together that are amazing.”

E! adds that Nikki and Ian asked guests to donate to their preferred animal rescue charity in lieu of gifts. That’s a nice touch, especially since several of Nikki’s friends only attended her first wedding (to singer Paul McDonald) a few years ago! Seriously though, I wish Ian and Nikki well. They’re both really into animals and seem like nice (thirsty) people. Both managed to keep their wedding off social media for the most part, except for this tweet from Ian before the ceremony. Congrats to the vampires!

most beautiful morning ever…
