Big Brother stars Memphis Garrett and Christmas Abbott tie the knot in Georgia over Memorial Day weekend: ‘She is my forever girl’

Big Brother Season 22: All-Stars alums Memphis Garrett and Christmas Abbott tied the knot over Memorial Day weekend in Savannah, Georgia.

The pair, who announced their engagement last June, married in front of family and friends during a romantic ceremony at the State Railroad Museum on Saturday.

‘What excites me most about marrying Christmas is I get to spend the rest of my life with her!’ Memphis, 39, told E! News .

He continued, ‘We can continue to build our relationship and grow together. We have so much fun together and we complement each other.

‘When you find something like that, you don’t ever want to let that go. She is my forever girl.’

Christmas, 40, told the outlet, ‘I get to be with the person that God created just for me! After meeting him, it became clear to me that God had a plan from the very start.’

She added ‘I knew that everything that had happened in my life prepared me to meet him, so when I did, I would know he’s my person without a doubt. He is my best friend and my HOME and I get to spend forever with him.’

According to E! News, the 40-year-old bride wore a Laura Nagle gown while the 39-year-old groom donned a Tom Ford tuxedo.

The duo exchanged wedding rings by Los Angeles-based jeweler Adam Campbell, who designed Christmas’ engagement ring, and David Yurman.

On his Instagram Story, Memphis reposted photos and videos that his friends had taken during the festivities.

‘Let’s gets these two lovebirds married’, one fan wrote on an image of outdoor dining tables covered with navy blue tablecloths and adorned with brown candles and orange and pink roses.

Other friends captured images of the rustic venue where rows of wooden chairs were set up amid pieces of railroad relics, while floral chandeliers hung overhead.

The day before the wedding, the entrepreneur shared an Instagram video in which he was seen kissing Christmas, who looked stunning in a white strapless minidress.

The pair were seen on a charming white front porch in the video, which was set to Dylan Scott’s country hit Can’t Have Mine.

‘I can’t wait for tomorrow!!! ❤️’, Christmas wrote in the comments.

Christmas told E! News that she had initially wanted a low-key ceremony at a local courthouse but her boyfriend convinced her to hold a wedding that their family and friends could attend.

‘He wanted to have our family and friends celebrate our love and feel the love of that experience,’ the mother of one said. ‘We chatted about a few ideas and then he planned it all!

‘What he created was breathtaking. It’s what he does and he is excellent at it. Marrying him is the best blessing, the wedding is a bonus!’

The Tennessee native is the founder of Garrett Hospitality Group, a multi-faceted, curated group of brands, with a focus on hospitality, spirits, and culinary experiences.

The couple confirmed they were dating in December 2020, just two months after the series finale of the reality show’s 22nd season.

Memphis popped the question during a romantic beach proposal while the pair were vacationing in the Little Palm Island Resort & Spa in Florida.

Christmas told E! News that she had ‘no idea’ it was going to happen. ‘I was 100 percent surprised!’

Speaking about the events leading up to the sunset proposal, Christmas said she had ‘no idea’ it was going to happen.

‘I had no idea it was going to happen then. I know, a beautiful island, sunset at a beautiful resort…who wouldn’t have guessed? I didn’t’! That’s because that’s the kind of thing he does regularly to show me how special he believes I am.’

She continued: ‘I was 100 percent surprised! He’s so great at making me feel like I’m the most special person in the world every day, and this day was the most of all.’

Alongside a series of engagement photos she wrote: ‘We knew we would love each other forever. I’m just so excited to officially say YES!!!’

Memphis said he worked tirelessly to create the custom ring. ‘My favorite part was creating her custom engagement ring with my longtime friend and jeweler Adam Campbell.

‘The entire process was awesome. Adam and I reviewed so many diamonds until I found the perfect one for Christmas,’ he said, also adding that even before the pair met on the All Stars season he ‘felt a cosmic attraction to her.’

‘Before I even met Christmas, I felt a cosmic attraction to her. Once we spent 24/7 together for three months, I knew she was the one that I would spend the rest of my life with. I knew I found my twin flame,’ he added.

Christmas continued to say that their love story was also wild. ‘It’s wild to know Memphis and I fell in love with each other before we even shared a kiss. He’s my best friend, twin flame and brings out the best of me everyday.’

The pair revealed they were dating in December as he posted a selfie with the caption: ‘Sometime people come into your life and you know they just belong. We tried to fight it but fate had its own plan. Excited for the future.’

They had met during season 22 of the hit CBS show which occurred over the summer. After debuting their romance she said: ‘I wasn’t looking for a relationship, I was there to WIN.’

Christmas came in fourth place, while her man Memphis came in fifth, but they walked away with the grand prize of love.

‘It’s so wild to have this experience because we reverse engineered how society promotes falling in love. Memphis and I got to know one another through real conversations, building trust with each other and not starting with a physical connection. That’s a rare thing,’ she previously told E! News .
