The couple went the non-traditional route and participated in a religious ceremony earlier in the day, and then exchanged their vows at Siempre, which is modern venue in the mountains of Draper, Utah, in front of about 125 family members and close friends.

'Because so many people get married in Utah so young, we wanted something that was a little bit different than the traditional church, chapel wedding,' Armstrong revealed.

He confessed that he 'balled' his eyes out when he saw her in the 'simple and timeless' white gown.

'I knew she was obviously gonna choose a dress that was going to be beautiful,' he added. 'And I didn't have any really defining or super important feelings about what I wanted the dress to look like. I was just happy that it was something that was beautiful and that she felt confident in. Everything was so, so good.'
