Christine Brown’s wedding dreams have come true!
TheSister Wivesstar, 51, tied the knot withfiancé David Woolley, 59, on Saturday in Moab, Utah, in front of 330 guests.
“It’s a fairytale,” Brown tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It’s everything I never thought I would have. I get to walk down the aisle to David, him just looking at me the way that he does, it’s a dream come true.”
Festivities for the couple’s nuptials began on Friday night, with a scenic dinner cruise down the Colorado River. “We just liked the idea of having as much family and friends there as possible,” Brown said ahead of the ceremony. “We’re going to have so much fun.”
When it came to décor for the outdoor nuptials, wedding plannerDanielle Rothweilerincorporated the natural colors of their stunning backdrop including pops of rust, dusty rose, mauve, deep plum, and peachy coral. “The view, the scenery, it’s unreal,” says Woolley. “You can’t beat it.”

The happy celebration fulfilled a longtime wish for Brown.
“She wants to be able to wear a white dress and walk down the aisle with her dad,” Woolley told PEOPLE ahead of the couple’s wedding. “She never got to do on her first marriage. She wants all the bells and whistles.”
Adds Brown: “It’s true,” she says. “I do want the big white wedding!”

For dessert, the couple cut into a three-tier naked cake, plus Woolley’s Darth Vader-themed groom’s cake, his must-have for the big day.
“All the right pictures,” she recalls. “It was him with those eyes. I’m like, ‘You know what? I want to be looked at with those eyes for the rest of my life.’ Him with with his grandkids, and at Disneyland, and then him on a beach. I’m like, ‘Yes. Sign me up for all of that!'”
Woolley says that he knew right away Brown was special.

Wooley, who is a dad of eight, was also previously married before his wife died in 2012.
“After my wife passed away, I dated and I just could never find somebody. I knew Christine was ‘the one,’” he says. “It just feels so right.”
Adds Brown: “David is just home. I feel like wherever we are together, we just create this amazing unity together. We’re a solid unit, and whatever goes on around us just doesn’t even matter. Being married together just solidifies us together.”
Woolley popped the question to Brown in April.
“David treats me like a queen and tells me I’m beautiful every day,” Brown told PEOPLE at the time of the proposal. “I’ve never been in love like this before, and the world seems like a brighter place with him in it.”
She adds: “I’m so excited for the wonderful adventure we are going to embark on for the rest of our lives.”
As they celebrate their marriage, both Brown and Woolley are grateful they get to spend their lives with one another. “We have so many things in common,” says Brown. “It’s just easy. I found someone who is everything I’ve been looking for, who is a true partner, and someone who just wants to be with me and loves me for me.”
