Chanel Iman and Davon Godchaux are officially married! And the two, who got engaged last May while on vacation in Capri, Italy, and welcomed their first child together, baby girl Capri Summer last September, celebrated the milestone in style.

The 33-year-old, who is already a mom to Cali and Cassie, whom she shares with ex-husband Sterling Shepard dished all about the wedding to Vogue. Davon also has one son from a previous marriage.

Iman and the defensive tackle, who plays for the NFL’s New England Patriots, tied the knot on a yacht in the Caribbean Sea, as the sailed from island to island with their nearest and dearest.

An intimate ceremony took place on land in Anguilla, before they boarded the boat, and the couple held a civil ceremony in New York last month.

“We planned the wedding the way we desired—doing something together that we love with our kids and our blended family,” Iman explained. “This was our ideal, dream day. A handful of people attended the wedding—and we chartered a yacht to sail from island to island in the Caribbean Sea.”

The Georgia native donned a breathtaking Zuhair Murad white gown featured delicate beaded details on the off-the-shoulder corset top, and a magnificent tulle skirt.

The SI Swimsuit model and former Victoria’s Secret angel’s three daughters wore flower girl dresses by Mona Lisa.

“Family is everything to me and having my three girls by my side was so special,” she added. “Cali and Cassie were so excited in the weeks leading up to the wedding. My daughters hold a special place in my heart and sharing this moment with them was priceless.”
