Mikayla Nogueirais married!
The TikTok star and beauty influencer, 25, said “I do” to husband Cody Hawken at Castle Hill in Rhode Island on July 1. The ceremony was a full circle moment for Nogueira. “It’s been a dream for me to get married in Newport since I was a little girl,” she tells PEOPLE exclusively. “It’s one of my favorite places in the world.”
The newlyweds got engaged in November 2021, after only dating for a few months.

“I met Cody during winter 2020, in December,” she recalls. “We matched on Tinder. We didn’t meet in person until January 23rd. I wasn’t too sure about him as I was used to dating ‘bad boys’. He was quite the opposite, a total angel. I don’t regret saying yes to that first date!”
The pair exchanged personal vows in front of 175 of their friends and family members. “You only get married once, why not have a massive party with people who love and support you?” she says.
A few days before her wedding, Nogueira announced her collaboration with e.l.f Cosmetics, where she created the “Marriage Material Lip Duo,” a limited edition lip kit in celebration of her wedding weekend. The ceremony included “The Kissing Booth,” which featured her collaboration, plus a caricature artist who has done over 20 caricatures for Nogueira over the years, and a live painter to capture the special day.
“I am not doing my ceremony following any sort of tradition or religion,” she says. “It is entirely custom to Cody and I.”

The multi-day celebration also included a coastal-style welcome breakfast and rehearsal dinner and concluded with an after party on the Fourth of July.
Now happily married, Nogueira says she and her husband are looking forward to spending the rest of their lives together.
