Swimwear designer Karina Irby has married her fiancé Ryan Jones in an idyllic island wedding on a beach in Bora Bora.
The 32-year-old wore her favorite dress for the wedding – a skimpy white bikini – along with a sarong skirt for the intimate beach ceremony.
The newlyweds wore flower crowns and necklaces as they shared a kiss after saying “I do” surrounded by close family and friends.

Ryan, 35, wore brown shorts and a white button-up shirt as he proudly hugged his new wife on the sand.
After the ceremony, Karina slipped into a long silk white dress with a high slit and cut-out at her waist as they partied all night.
Karina matched up with Ryan on Tinder on May 25, 2014, 10 minutes after she first ever downloaded the app.
“We started texting and we talked so much that we didn’t have time to chat with anyone else. I really ruined her Tinder experience!’ Ryan told Daily Mail Australia last year.

After “swiping right” on Karina, Ryan said they started getting “these massive conversations, pages and pages of texts” that immediately sparked.
“We just had a really good chat,” he added.
Karina, who was single for 10 months at the time, remembers trying to play it cool.
“After we chatted for a while Ryan asked for my cell number and when he texted I replied ‘sorry who is this?’ I had to keep him sharp,” she said.
It was this playful personality that caught Ryan’s attention, more so than Karina’s physical beauty.

“I think there are plenty of people who look great in the apps of course, but to find that kind of connection with someone is very special,” he said.
They met for coffee a week later and spent the day at Karina’s apartment, cooking dinner and chatting late into the night.
Five years later, Ryan got down on one knee wearing a spectacular emerald green engagement ring set in a diamond setting.
He said he had the box in his pocket for a week and made two failed attempts to ask the question before finally asking Karina if he wanted to be his wife.
In the years since, the pair have become business partners, together they manage Karina’s Moana Bikini brand and have taken two adorable dogs to their luxurious Gold Coast home.
