In an interview withELLEon Aug. 2, the couple reflected on their weekend celebrations and said it was important to have their wedding in their hometown because “we’re both from Arizona and obviously found love in Arizona, so there was a lot of history.”

On the day of the wedding, Christian opened up about his emotions before the ceremony and shared that he felt like he was “floating around because there’s so much anticipation.”

“You’re trying to keep your nerves at bay,” he continued. “But the closer it gets, the more those nerves start to rise.”

When Ozzy walked down the aisle to Lana Del Rey’s “Young and Beautiful,” Ozzy recalled thinking that nothing could “mentally prepare you for that [moment].”

“It’s such an amazing feeling, being able to walk down the aisle and see Christian,” she continued. “I had my parents walk first and wait for me…I loved that because I had Christian in front of me along with my mom and dad.”
