The Real World: Brooklynstar, 35, said “I do” to fiancé Adam Lock in a “soulmates” themed celebration on Saturday in her hometown of Kansas City, Missouri.
“Adam is the kindest, most supportive and thoughtful person I know. He loves with his whole heart,” Simone tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It’s an honor to even know him, let alone marry him.”

“We wanted the day to feel authentic to us and we wanted to create an experience,” says Simone. “We didn’t want it to feel too predictable so we incorporated hidden elements, games, and surprises for guests to discover so that they feel an active part of the day and not just a spectator.”

Lock opted for a purple velvet dinner jacket for the reception as a nod to the purple velvet tuxedo his father wore for his parent’s wedding 40 years ago. His reception jacket was lined with autographed jerseys from his favorite basketball players, Steve Nash and Charles Barkley. He added white and purple Jordan sneakers to compliment his second look.

The plated dinner included a salad course that featured mesclun greens, chioggia beets and a floral goat cheese coin. The following courses included grilled tenderloin filet in a peppercorn cognac cream sauce, chicken piccata in lemon caper cream sauce and grilled salmon with a lemon chive beurre blanc.
As a self-proclaimed “big dessert lover,” the cake and desserts were important to Simone. Guests enjoyed a 5-tier stunner with chocolate espresso and sparkling champagne flavors, alcohol-infused ice cream, plus a variety of different flavored individual cakes and a s’mores bar.
The newlyweds first met in 2017 on a dating app and had a successful first date, but Simone says the timing wasn’t right for them to pursue the relationship any further. Three years later, the pair crossed paths again and reconnected with a second first date. They quickly became “inseparable.”

“It’s as if my heart felt a special kind of peace the moment I (re)met him,” Simone says. “It’s like we speak the same language. We understand each other in a way that no one else does.”
Lock says that he has been looking forward to their big day for a year, and knows that he will “remember it for a lifetime” he adds.
“What a way to start the rest of your life. I’m so incredibly lucky to have found this amazing woman,” he tells PEOPLE. “Even if it took her two first dates to figure it out.”
Simone said the best part of the celebration was seeing her husband and celebrating their love with family and friends.
“Adam really is just a wonderful partner and I am so excited that we get to do life together,” she says.
