The couple tied the knot on Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Santa Ynez Ranch, a private vineyard in Santa Barbara, Calif., not far from where Baumgartner was raised.<\/p>\n
The outdoor ceremony, held right before sunset, was attended by just over 100 of their closest family and friends, including their children.<\/p>\n
The bride wore a custom gown by Mira Zwillinger featuring hand-embroidered flowers throughout and a sweetheart neckline. For the reception, she changed into a white satin strapless Lihi Hod dress with a sweetheart neckline and side slit.<\/p>\n
Josh, meanwhile, wore a custom-tailored black tuxedo in a classic silhouette.<\/p>\n

Baumgartner, 51, and Connor, 49, planned a family-centered weekend for their guests, who arrived Friday evening, Oct. 17, for a welcome celebration. The weekend format allowed the pair to spend quality time with their loved ones rather than rushing through a single day.<\/p>\n
