This Victoria's Secret Angel is in seventh heaven.

Lindsay Ellingson married longtime love Sean Clayton tonight in an intimate ceremony in Bluffton, South Carolina, near Hilton Head Island on Saturday, July 12.

"Words can't express the joy and happiness we have as we start the next chapter of our lives together with the support and love of our families and friends," the couple said in a exclusive statement to E! News.

They swapped vows in front of about 85 guests and their first dance was going to be to—we're loving this couple more and more each minute—Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home."

The bride's custom-made diamond wedding band is rose gold and coordinates with the groom's rose-gold band. Both were designed by New York City jeweler Friman & Stein. 

Ellingson, who scored the honor of modeling the first-ever pair of wings to be created by a 3-D printer at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, was with Clayton for six years before he popped the question in November at his family's home in Ohio.

And yes, the leggy blond beauty was all for a helping of diamond ring along with her Thanksgiving turkey.

The 29-year-old told Brides magazine (which features more details about her wedding in its upcoming October / November issue) that she initially met Clayton, a medical equipment sales rep and former college football player, at a party for Jay Z that she attended with friends in New York. She gave him her number and...

He didn't call her! Ellingson said that it wasn't until she randomly bumped into Clayton again at the Union Square Greenmarket in NYC that they made plans to go out.

Cheers to second chances—and congratulations to the newlyweds!
