Nearly one year after their courthouse wedding, Serena Pitt and Joe Amabile got married for the second time.
The “Bachelor in Paradise” alums tied the knot at The Cedar Room in Charleston, S.C. Saturday.
“This time around it feels like the start of an exciting new chapter and we are looking forward to continuing doing life together,” Amabile, 37, told People ahead of the nuptials.
The couple chose Charleston — rather than their home cities of Chicago or Toronto — so they could create new “special memories” with their guests.
“We wanted to pick a fun weekend getaway city that was accessible to most of our family and friends and had a venue we loved,” Pitt, 25, explained.
“We have no prior ties to Charleston but are so excited to create special memories there,” she continued.
The Canada native stunned in a “simple and elegant” Robert Bullock gown, which was on display when she walked down the aisle to the tune of Adele’s song, “Make You Feel My Love.”
For the reception, Pitt changed into a “chic and glamorous” nighttime ensemble by Eisen Stein.
The former reality stars first teased their nuptials on Thursday, with the bride showing their “wedding prep” pasta via Instagram.
Pitt rocked a strapless white dress in the social media upload, modeling the same look on her Story.
“Night one!” she wrote. “Going to dinner with some of our family members who arrived in town today.”
Some of the Bachelor Nation members’ guests shared posts of their own while heading to the ceremony, including newly engaged couple Abigail Heringer and Noah Erb.
Heringer and Erb were on the beach with Pitt and Amabile when the couple fell in love on Season 7 of the ABC show.
The grocery store owner proposed to Pitt during the 2021 finale, and they surprised their followers with wedding news in October of the following year.
“JUST MARRIED !!” they captioned a joint Instagram reveal in 2022. “We are still having a wedding this September but who doesn’t want to get married twice!”

Amabile’s “Click Bait” podcast co-host, Natasha Parker, acted as their witness and filmed their kiss at the altar.
The bride sported a cream sweater, leather pants and matching boots at the time, while her husband wore a navy quarter zip sweater, black pants and white sneakers.
The former ABC personalities have since opened up about their wedding plans, telling Us Weekly in July why they chose South Carolina for their second ceremony.
“We just kind of randomly picked the place,” Amabile explained. “We really fell in love with our venue as soon as we walked in.”
Pitt hinted at her looks at the time, saying, “I have two dresses for the wedding — and that’s kind of all I’ll tease for that because it’s gonna be a surprise.”
