Who is Justin Pasutto? Jillian Harris marries former snowboarder after 13 years together

Jillian Harris has tied the knot with Justin Pasutto after 13 years together!

People Magazine has reported that the Bachelorette alum, 45, tied the knot with her longtime beau in a church ceremony on Thursday, August 21. Two days later, they held another "dreamy and romantic" wedding on their farm in West Kelowna, British Columbia, that saw 176 guests.

"After eight years of planning, we’ve decided to really go for it!" Harris told People Magazine. "It is an actual fairy-tale dream come true. I’m so happy that we waited this long so that we could truly plan the day that we’ve always dreamed of."

According to the reality star's personal blog, Justin Pasutto was born and raised in Calgary. He graduated from the Nation Sport School and travelled often for snowboarding, which he also wanted to make it to the Olympics for. However, he eventually retired, as he "couldn’t put up with the countless injuries anymore."

While studying Urban Land Economics at Sauder School of Business, he met his now-wife, Jillian Harris. A few months later, the pair moved in. In the years since, they "had a baby, bought a house, started a “fixer upper”, and got engaged." The pair now share kids Leo, 9, and Annie, 6.

Everything we know about Jillian Harris and Justin Pasutto's swoony nuptials

E! News has reported that Jillian Harris and Justin Pasutto got engaged on Christmas in 2016, and across her two ceremonies, she wore five dresses. However, one of them was chosen years ago.

"I fell in love with the dress," the 45-year-old recalled. "At the time, it had long sleeves, but we customized it. As the years went by, I felt I no longer loved it, and it sat at Candé Bridal for seven years. When our wedding date was finalized, I started looking for a new dress, but could not find anything,” she continued. “Adriana asked me to come try on the original dress again. I reluctantly agreed, and when I tried it on with my cousins and daughter, I started crying and realized it was still the one."

As for their decision to host the nuptials on their lakeside estate, Jillian Harris said that it was as “timeless, elegant, and luxurious” as they could've imagined.

"Justin has worked tirelessly over the past two years to repair the property, replanting trees, moving dirt, planting grass, irrigating and managing the team," the the reality star gushed. "He has devoted the last year of his life to making my wedding venue dreams come true."

The theme for the day was "flower farm," she told People Magazine, with the farm being riddled with white cosmos, zinnias, roses, delphiniums, and hydrangeas. The pair's best friend, Warwick Andrews, officiated the ceremony, and they exchanged handwritten vows and rings.
