Paul Wesley recently reflected on his wedding with model Natalie Kuckenburg.

The Vampire Diaries alum, who announced his nuptials with 26-year-old last month, finally spoke to Entertainment Tonight at the 2026 San Diego Comic-Con.

Wesley opened up that the wedding was last-minute decision which is why he eloped.

“I just got married, yeah, eloped,” the 44-year-old told ET.

The Star Trek: Strange New Worlds actor further said, “We were planning a big wedding, and then we were like let’s just get legally married.”

“We were waiting for a cancellation at the Santa Barbara courthouse because it’s such a beautiful courthouse,” he continued.

However, Wesley shared that the venue “was booked out for three months, and we found a cancellation the night before”.

The actor, who was first linked back in 2022 and engaged last July, went on saying, “Natalie is so amazing.”

“She found a dress that day, and then we ended up literally doing everything, hiring the photographer,” pointed out Wesley.

The actor added, “Everything was [done] the day before, and it was so special because, because it was so spontaneous, it made it more special. It was just us and our dog. It was amazing.”
