Now that Nikki Reed and Ian Somerhalder are officially tying the knot, we wanted to revisit the gorgeous couple's whirlwind relationship from start to finish. There was no doubt that these two got hot and heavy pretty quickly, and sources confirmed to E! News what we already knew: They're madly in love!

"They're so happy," a source told us. "They were crazy happy from the start. Their families love each other. It just feels really right."

After sparking rumors that he and the Twilight actress, 26, were more than just friends while out at a farmers market together, the two quickly became inseparable. The Vampire Diaries actor was linked to his co-star, Nina Dobrev, for several years, but ultimately wooed a different vampire! Reed was formerly married to American Idol's Paul McDonald, but they split after two years of marriage in March 2014.

Ian and Nikki took their love to the next level when they became parents—no, not that kind!—when they adopted a puppy and a kitten together! Can you say adorable?! In addition to showing off their four-legged friends on social media, they both have gushed over each other on Instagram, always proclaiming their love for one another.

Yes, we are that jealous.

Whether they're walking down the street or hitting the slopes, Ian and Nikki continue to show that they could be the next great Hollywood couple, and we totally support it! 

Congratulations to the happy couple! We wish you the very best!
