90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way stars Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven got married in bed on Nov. 11, 2024
The wedding — or as they say, "bedding" — marks the 90th wedding in 90 Day Fiancé history
"Getting married means forever to us. It means meeting every phase of life together from here on out, good and bad!" the couple tells PEOPLE90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way stars Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven have wed — in bed!
The couple — who met in Turkey and got engaged during season 5 of the hit TLC series — got married on Nov. 11, 2024, at the Mondrian's penthouse in West Hollywood in what they're calling a "bedding" (yes, a wedding in a bed!).
"We found the idea of marriage so scary, so we thought why not make it less scary and do our vows where we are most comfy — in bed?!" Shekinah tells PEOPLE.
"We spend an insane amount of time in bed, and believe it or not, we actually don't have a dining room table to eat at, so we eat all of our meals in bed!" she explains. "We binge-watch our favorite shows there, work on our laptops from there, nap there every day, and, of course, we love to gossip and have our pillow talk in bed."
The pair's "unconventional" yet "elegant" ceremony marks a major milestone in the franchise as the 90th wedding in 90 Day Fiancé history. No guests were in attendance, apart from the camera crew who filmed the wedding for 90 Day Fiancé season 11, episode 18.
Just because the reality television star was getting married in bed doesn't mean she wanted it to look like she just rolled out of bed. She wore a sexy, white lace minidress with a nude corset from Heiress Beverly Hills.
"I found it when scrolling on Instagram, and I loved the way it was giving both bridal and lingerie — perfect for a bed wedding!" Shekinah shares. "It's not expensive, but it is unique and I felt beautiful in it, and that's what mattered most."
Sarper also showed some skin wearing a black, sleeveless vest. Although the groom wore tuxedo cuff links and a bow tie, he skipped the undershirt and chose to expose his tattooed chest.

The couple's room also needed to match the vibe. Shekinah's cousin, Courtney, served as the wedding planner. She helped spice up the decor, which originally wasn't the bride and groom's taste but was one of the only hotels that allowed filming.
"I love opulence and glamour, so the chandeliers and flowers were everything!" Shekinah says.
"It was important that it didn't feel casual and sloppy — no slippers or messy hair!" she continues. "I wanted it to be in bed but feel elegant and classy. I wanted the cityscape of Los Angeles in the background and chandeliers above us. I wanted a breeze coming in to give a light and airy feel to the room."
J'Adore Les Fleurs provided "the prettiest blooms," and the couple's late grandmothers were honored through the flower selections. Sarper's grandmother, Sevim, loved roses while his other grandmother, Muzo, loved lavender, so both florals were included in the arrangements and bridal bouquet. Orchids were also incorporated to honor Shekinah's grandmother, LaVerne. The bride also wore her ring to "feel her presence."
Nearby was a framed letter from Sarper's father, who wrote a "beautiful" letter to Shekinah, asking her to "take his son in marriage and love him for the rest of [her] life."
"It was really important that we get married on 11/11," Shekinah notes. "Those are my angel numbers; I see them everywhere all the time. That date just happened to fall toward the very end of the 90-day time period for our fiancé visa. We were lucky that it was just within that time frame (barely!). Also, the year 2024 was the year I wanted to get married because 2+0+2+4=8 (8 is the eternity symbol!)."
While Shekinah wrote her wedding vows in advance, Sarper decided to "say his feelings in the moment," which resulted in "meaningul" and "moving" sentiments from his heart.
Because wedding officiants were declining left and right after discovering the ceremony was taking place in bed, the couple decided to not tell their officiant, Chris Robinson, about the location until "it would be too late to back out."
"He was great," Shekinah says. "He hid his shock well and went through the motions in good spirit and was very professional."
Shekinah and Sarper sliced into a cream-colored wedding cake from Cake Studio LA decorated with their matching initials "SG" in gold on one side, and their wedding date "11:11" on the other. The vanilla chiffon cake was praline-flavored with layered hazelnut toffee caramel meringue buttercream.
"Getting married means forever to us," the couple says. "It means meeting every phase of life together from here on out, good and bad! We are committed to loving each other for a lifetime and honored to be chosen by the other. We truly feel meant to be."
The pair are "excited to build a life together," such as purchasing their first home and adopting many pets, including dogs, cats and goats. Professionally, Sarper will pursue comedy while Shekinah is working to establish herself in the beauty industry.
"We dream of having the biggest, most comfy bed in the future to spend lots of time in and make new memories in!" Shekinah says.

One of my affirmations is: 'This is the best time of my life.'' During an interview with People in April, Graham admitted to being a happier person after she turned 55. 'I feel like as I get older, I just care less about things that don't matter. Everyone gets upset sometimes, but I think that I'm happier.
