WhenJoe AnglimandSierra Dawn Thomasmet during the filming of 2014’sSurvivor: Worlds Apart, there was an immediate attraction. Although they were on two different tribes, they caught each other’s eye immediately. Anglim, who earned the nickname ‘Joey Amazing,’ couldn’t help but notice the statuesque blonde on the other tribe.
“She was just beautiful,” Anglim told PEOPLE earlier this year. “You could see that right away.”
But it wasn’t an immediate match during the game. Anglim and Thomas were in competing alliances and never voted together during the game. Thomas even helped vote Anglim out of the game.
But a funny thing happened afterWorlds Apartstopped filming: Anglim and Thomas became close friends. Time passed, and the friendship became romantic. Last April, nearly five years after they met,Anglim popped the questionat sunset during a road trip from Arizona to Utah.
“I had no idea it was coming,” Thomas told PEOPLE at the time, “but we’re going to live happily ever after!”
On Saturday, the couple took the next step to their happily ever after, saying “I do” at The Hideaway on Angel, a wedding venue in Layton, Utah. Anglim wore a gray tuxedo from DC Tuxedos; Thomas stunned in a long white fringe gown from Naama & Anat Haute Couture.
“My Prince Charming, my forever…,” she captioned the photo. “Thank you to our family and friends who made this night more than we ever could’ve imagined. Your love and support was poured upon us and we’ve never felt more lucky for each and everyone of you.”
Several of the couple’sSurvivorcastmates attended the ceremony, includingWorlds ApartcontestantsMike Holloway,Carolyn Rivera,Tyler Fredrickson,Jenn BrownandMax Dawson.
Andrew Savage,Terry DeitzandMonica Padilla— all from Anglim’s second season,Second Chances —were also there, as wereEdge of Extinctioncontestants Aubry Bracco and Chris Underwood.
Many of the cast members posted photos from the wedding.
“Think about this if @sierra_dawn_ votes @janglim21 out instead of @joaqsworld would we even be here today???,” Hollowaycaptioned a group selfie that included the bride and groom. “So proud to call you my family. So happy for you. We all Love you so so much. #Dirty30 #outwedoutloveoutlast.”
Brown also shared a photo of the reality stars from the wedding, joking about the time Thomas voted out Anglim during their season: “Remember when Sierra voted out Joe? #outwedoutloveoutlast #dirty30,” she wrote.
Bracco, who played alongside Thomas inSurvivor: Game Changersand Anglim inEdge of Extinction, shared a series of photos from the weekend event in an Instagram post with a heartfelt caption.
“@sierra_dawn_ & @janglim21 thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing your love with all of us last night — pick your favorite love story and yours out-gallops it to the edge of the universe and back,” she wrote. “Another thank you for sharing your families and friends with us — the love filled and overflowed out of that space. I’m grateful I had the chance to meet and reconnect with your UT/AZs and our wild Survivor crew. Here’s to you, Mr. and Mrs. Anglim. ❤️.”
