Catherine Paiz Marries Tattoo Artist Igor Ten in Beautiful Ceremony
Content creator Catherine Paiz, widely recognized for her past as a prominent figure in The ACE Family YouTube vlogs, has embarked on a new journey, marrying acclaimed tattoo artist Igor Ten. The couple exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony this past Sunday, September 28, marking a significant milestone less than two years after Paiz’s public split from ex-husband Austin McBroom. The nuptials unfolded just weeks after their engagement announcement, a love story that began serendipitously in the heart of the Amazon.
The Wedding Day
The joyous occasion was shared extensively by both the bride and groom on their respective Instagram platforms. Paiz, 35, gave her millions of followers a glimpse into the elegance of their special day, posting snapshots from an ornate church, likely a grand cathedral, that served as the backdrop for their vows. Her pre-ceremony preparations included clips and photos of her getting ready for her walk down the aisle. She radiated bridal splendor in a breathtaking, princess-style wedding gown adorned with a delicate lace veil, as seen in a touching photo shared with one of her daughters. A particularly poignant moment captured was Paiz riding in a car, presumably en route to the ceremony, with the heartfelt caption, “The man who’s held my hand since day one, driving me to the one who will hold it forever,” hinting at a close family member driving her. On her Instagram, she also curated a carousel of photos showcasing the intricate details of her bridal look, captioned simply, “Right before the big moment 🥹.” Her new husband, Ten, reciprocated the sentiment in the comments, expressing, “Seeing you walk into the church was the most incredible moment of my life. I will cherish that memory forever. I love you more than anything in this life. ❤️✨.” Igor Ten, too, took to his Instagram Stories, sharing moments from the big day, including a photo of himself in his groom’s suit within the church, declaring, “Today I stand as a married man, blessed with the most incredible woman in the universe. What more could I ask for?” The celebration continued with live music, featuring a singer and band performing, adding to the festive atmosphere.
The Whirlwind Engagement
The wedding followed a whirlwind engagement that captivated fans. On September 1, less than four weeks before their wedding, Paiz and Ten publicly announced their engagement. Paiz shared a series of ethereal golden-hour engagement photos on Instagram, accompanied by a caption that hinted at their impending nuptials: “So glad I turned the page… September is the month I walk down the aisle to spend forever with you❤️⛪️.” Ten responded affectionately, “I love you from the first moment ❤️🥹😘 ♾️.” What many didn’t know then was that Ten had proposed much earlier, on Valentine’s Day, February 14, 2025. He later revealed the intimate detail in his own Instagram post, writing, “In February 2025, on Valentine’s Day, I experienced one of the most unforgettable moments of my life: I asked my muse to marry me.” He described the proposal as the beginning of “a new chapter… of growth, of discovery, and of a love that continues to blossom without end.” The song “Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last, famously featured in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 during Bella Swan’s wedding, was used by Ten when resharing Paiz’s engagement post, underscoring the romantic depth of their bond.
The Genesis of Their Romance
The genesis of their romance is as unique as it is heartwarming. Paiz met Ten “in the middle of the Amazon” while on a spiritual retreat in Brazil. Recounting the unexpected encounter on Alex Cooper’s Call Her Daddy podcast on May 28, Paiz admitted she had previously resigned herself to being “alone forever,” convinced she “didn’t need anyone.” However, their initial friendship defied her expectations, blooming into a profound connection she “never imagined things would go further, never in a million years.” Their relationship, publicly debuted by Paiz in November 2024 with a poolside Instagram photo, quickly evolved into a loving partnership that embraced her three children from her previous marriage to Austin McBroom: 9-year-old Elle, 6-year-old Alaïa, and 5-year-old Steel. Ten has openly shared his deep affection for the children, stating, “The love I feel for her has multiplied and gracefully extended to three extraordinary kids… Life with them has been one of the most eye-opening and transformative experiences of my journey. I never imagined I could feel a love so pure, so profound… a love that reshapes me every day and reveals the beauty of loving in an entirely new way.” His August 16 Instagram post, featuring a carousel of photos with Paiz, encapsulated his gratitude: “Grateful to God for life, for the connections along my path, and above all, for the blessing of walking this journey with her. ✨🤍 🕊️ 🌱.”
Catherine Paiz and Igor Ten’s wedding signifies more than just a union; it represents a beautiful narrative of finding love in unexpected places, embracing blended families, and confidently stepping into a new, shared future.
