On 14 Sept., 2013, the couple made their union official in a ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, but days earlier, they actually got legally married in a New York City courthouse. In an interview with E! News, Teigen revealed, "We actually got married after going to a couple Fashion Week shows at Vera Wang, ironically who actually did my dress, but we got married at the courthouse right after," she told the outlet. "We are dumb and didn't realise that our Italian wedding would not be recognised unless we had a real ceremony in New York City. So Irina Shayk was our witness — the most beautiful woman on earth!"
