Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson got married this past weekend, tying the knot with fiancée Nicolette Dellanno on Saturday, June 28. The wedding was held at St. Patrick's Cathedral before everyone headed to the Rainbow Room for the reception.

Dellanno reposted photos from the day on her Instagram, including the couple leaving the cathedral immediately after saying "I do" and the couple's first dance (which was reportedly to "From the Ground Up" by Dan + Shay).

The two had an outfit change at their wedding, with Dellanno initially wearing an off-the-shoulder gown with a flowing skirt for the ceremony and then changing to a mermaid-style dress for the reception. Wilson wore a classic black tuxedo with a black bowtie for the ceremony and changed into a cream-colored dinner jacket for the reception.

NFL fans likely remember Wilson as the second overall pick by the New York Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft. It didn't pan out for Wilson with the team that drafted him, as the Jets brought in Aaron Rodgers for the 2023 season, signaling exactly how they felt about their former high draft pick.

Unfortunately for the Jets, Rodgers was injured just four snaps into the season, and that forced Wilson right back onto the field. The Jets finished the year 7-10.

Wilson spent the 2024 season buried on the Denver Broncos' quarterback depth chart and then signed with the Dolphins, a rival of the Jets, this offseason. He's expected to compete for the backup quarterback job with seventh-round rookie Quinn Ewers.

As for Wilson and Dellanno's relationship timeline, the two started dating in 2022 when Wilson was still with the Jets and got engaged last summer when he was beginning his brief Broncos journey.

Now the two will begin married life together in Miami, as Wilson fights to win the backup job to Dolphins starter Tua Tagovailoa.
