"A moment we both been waiting for," they captioned the post, encapsulating their excitement.

Their journey to matrimony began with a civil ceremony in New York on Jan. 10, followed by an enchanting elopement on a yacht sailing through the Caribbean Sea on Feb. 24. Recounting their dream day to Vogue, Iman expressed, "This was our ideal, dream day." The intimate affair included a select group of attendees, among them Iman's closest friend Heidy De la Rosa, as they chartered a yacht to sail among the picturesque islands of the Caribbean.

Iman radiated elegance in a stunning Zuhair Murad gown adorned with off-the-shoulder straps, an embellished bodice, and a graceful tulle skirt. "I am so thankful to his team for making it happen for me," she expressed her gratitude to the Lebanese designer. The couple exchanged Brilliant Earth rings during a heartfelt ceremony in Anguilla before embarking on a memorable island shopping spree with their guests.

The celebrations continued as they sailed to St. Barths, where they indulged in three days of joyous festivities, including dancing and revelry. The enchanting wedding-at-sea concluded with a romantic honeymoon at Cap Juluca, marking the beginning of their journey as a married couple.

Their love story had been unfolding publicly, with the couple announcing their engagement in May 2023 through a heartwarming Instagram post capturing the romantic proposal in Capri, Italy. Godchaux, overwhelmed with emotion, expressed his love and admiration for Iman, emphasizing their shared values of family and commitment.

Their engagement was swiftly followed by the announcement of another blessing: the anticipation of their first child together. Iman delightedly shared the news of her pregnancy in May 2023, later revealing the gender with a joyful confetti-filled moment. Their daughter, Capri Summer Godchaux, arrived on Sept. 19, 2023, adding to their blended family which includes Iman's daughters from a previous marriage and Godchaux's son from a prior relationship.

Despite the blissful occasion, the couple faced a poignant moment as Godchaux's son Davon Godchaux II, 7, was unable to attend the ceremony due to unforeseen circumstances. Nevertheless, the couple eagerly anticipates celebrating their union with him in the near future.

Chanel Iman's transition from supermodel to super-bride culminated in a fairy-tale wedding, symbolizing the beginning of a new chapter filled with love, joy, and cherished memories.
