Jimmy Donaldson and Thea Booysen Wed in Private Necker Island Ceremony

The wedding, held in the British Virgin Islands, hosted approximately 70 guests who spent the week snorkeling and exploring the island’s wildlife before the ceremony. Booysen wore a custom Nicole + Felicia Couture gown, while Donaldson opted for a Ralph Lauren tuxedo. Despite the star power associated with the groom, the couple prioritized a low-key atmosphere, opting for board games over a celebrity-heavy afterparty. The festivities were managed by planner Marcy Blum, with a menu featuring Wagyu beef and a carrot cake chosen specifically for the bride.

Their connection began in 2022 in South Africa, a meeting Booysen described as a turning point that shattered her expectations of the YouTuber as a mere online persona. Following a Christmas 2024 proposal, the pair committed to a wedding that eschewed viral content in favor of intimacy. For Donaldson, the choice of Necker Island served as a strategic retreat from the constant scrutiny of his professional life. Booysen noted that the marriage feels like a natural progression rather than a shift in their daily lives, as the couple returns to their routines with their pets, already planning annual reunions to keep their extended family connected.
