The newlyweds, who got engaged in March 2016, felt married prior to exchanging their vows, but are excited for what comes with a marriage.

“I get to wear this wedding ring now, which is exciting,” Wilson, 27, continued to Us. “She gets to wear hers and all that stuff. So that’s really about the only thing [that’s different.] And her last name’s Wilson now, so that’s kind of cool. I like that, Mrs. Wilson.”
