Tarek El Moussa and Heather Rae Young are major TV personalities who recently made headlines when they tied the knot. The HGTV and Selling Sunset stars had a beautiful ceremony that fans will get to see on a television special soon enough, but one detail fans already know is that the couple exceeded their initial budget.
Let's take a closer look at this couple and see how they went above their budget for their wedding.
Tarek El Moussa And Heather Rae Young Are Major TV Personalities
Making a career on the small screen means living a life that is broadcast to millions. Both Tarek and Heather are popular television personalities from different shows, but the duo wound up finding one another and striking up a romance.
Tarek has been thriving on HGTV for years, and he has multiple shows that have been big for the network. The man is a house flipping genius, and he knows a thing or two about making bank.
Heather, meanwhile, is an invaluable piece of the Selling Sunset puzzle, and her ability to sell mansions while providing entertainment to viewers at home has kept people coming back to Selling Sunset each season.
When they struck up a romance, fans were interested in how things would play out. Turns out, the pair fell madly in love, and in no time at all, this duo was in the midst of a genuine romance that has been thriving for years.
Thanks to both being on successful TV shows, it makes sense that their relationship has been anything but private since they began dating.
Their Relationship Has Been Public
Tarek and Heather's time together is one that has been in the public eye, and while they don't receive the same type of coverage as Kim and Kanye did, they still make headlines.
Fans have seen them crossover onto each other's show, and Tarek's proposal, in particular, was a scene-stealer. Since then, fans have been eagerly awaiting the pair's wedding day, which was shaping up to be huge.
In the lead-up to the wedding, Tarek said, "I'm just going to feel like my life is changing. I honestly, I can't wait for the moment to say 'I do' because I know the second I say that the calm is going to come over me. I'm going to be married and I'm going to focus on the rest of my life with my beautiful bride and my kids.”
Because they are a high-profile couple in the public eye, it's not too shocking to learn that they were okay with given fans a glimpse into the wedding itself.
"We are going to be doing a wedding special. This was actually a big decision for us because I've been on TV for 10 years. I've been around for a while, but so initially it was no, but then as more time went on, obviously we're talking with the networks and people have followed our story around the world. It's almost, like, we feel like we owe it to them to show them our marriage happening."
Alas, once the wedding rolled around, people grew curious about the budget.
Their Wedding Cost A Ton
In what came as a surprise to no one, fans have seen some of the beauty from Tarek and Heather's wedding, and calling it stunning would be an understatement. Turns out, the couple's budget wasn't quite set in stone, as they most certainly went over budget while bringing the big day to life.
As Tarek noted, Heather's taste is "more expensive than any female I’ve ever met.”
Despite Heather's taste causing a spike in wedding costs, Tarek did note that his wife was holding things down.
"Heather’s been a rock star. I don’t know how she’s juggling everything. She’s juggling the wedding, filming, the kids, planning the party, planning the wedding, planning the honeymoon," he said.
When speaking on the big day, Heather wrote, "Yesterday feels like a dream… so perfect, filled with so much love and magic. Truly everything I’ve ever wanted and more. I love you so much @therealtarekelmoussa and now I get to say we’re officially MARRIED!!”
The wedding special is going to be a big deal, especially with the popularity that these two have on the small screen. Expect your jaw to hit the floor when it finally makes its long-awaited premiere.
