By Wedding Spot
Former college football star Tim Tebow married 2017 Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters on Jan. 20, 2020, and Nel-Peters’ stunning dresses (yes, plural!) weren’t the only things that had the wedding industry buzzing.
The couple tied the knot at sunset in Nel-Peters’ native South Africa, and the venue made for a breathtaking event.
“It was very emotional,” Urban Meyer, Tebow’s former college coach, told People. “To watch the two of them begin their life together was just beautiful. It was the perfect day.”
Where did Tim Tebow get married?
Tebow and Nel-Peters got married at La Paris Estate in Franschhoek, South Africa, about an hour outside of Cape Town. Here are five facts you need to know about the venue:

Tebow’s cake was keto-friendly
One thing that had to be included in the big day, according to People? A keto-friendly groom’s cake.
“We chose a cheesecake,” Nel-Peters told the publication. “That way, Tim can stick to his diet.”
The former Heisman Trophy winner told The Rachael Ray Show last year that he has been following the keto diet since 2012, “really before most people knew about (it).”
Kudos to Tebow for not having a cheat day — even for his wedding!
The attire was incredible
According to People, Nel-Peters’ first dress was a custom-made gown from David’s Bridal, accented by diamond and pearl earrings from Marion Rehwinkel Jewelery.
Nel-Peters told the magazine that she looked at 50-or-so dresses before making ultimately her decision.
“I was all over Pinterest,” she said. “I wanted to find something sleek and elegant and timeless.”
The couple shared a few other photos of the festivities surrounding the big day, and their outfits were just as breathtaking.
The menu featured a lot of variety
According to People, the reception menu featured food from both America and South Africa, and included steak, mussels, cheeses, and pasta. Tebow and Nel-Peters opted to go with their their favorite salad, too, which was made up of baby spinach, bacon, berries, cucumbers, vinegar, and olive oil.
“It’s such a simple salad,” Nel-Peters said, “but we eat it all the time and it’s delicious. So we wanted it to be part of the wedding.”
