“Mean Girls” actor Jonathan Bennett marries TV host Jaymes Vaughan in a wedding held in Mexico

Mean Girls star Jonathan Bennett got married to longtime love Jaymes Vaughan over the weekend.

People Magazine reports that the couple skipped a typical wedding walk down the aisle. Instead, they chose to meet one another at the altar after walking in from the beach to a song that Vaughan wrote for Bennett at the couple’s engagement.

“When you’re part of the LGBTQ+ fam, not everything in the wedding space is for you yet,” Vaughan told PEOPLE of choosing an inclusive venue and vendors. “The whole purpose of our wedding is to come together and join the two of us together, join our families together and start a new family.

Added Bennett: “And all that, as we were going through this process, we realized that our wedding is also more than just about us. It’s about the entire community. It was honestly a dream wedding! We kept having to stop and remind ourselves that we weren’t on a movie set, but this was actually our real life. If you had told me this was one of my Hallmark movie sets, I would have believed it. It was that perfect.”
