She wore a white lace dress with her hair in a half-up style and he had on a tuxedo.

The 24-year-old star's parents are likely to be thrilled by the union because they have known 23-year-old Mia's family since before their children were born.

He explained: 'My parents knew Mia's parents before either one of us were born.

'My dad did some web development work for her dad's business, and they met through church and by the time Mia and I were born, we hung out for three or four years running around in diapers and play dates - not just us, but our siblings.

'There are multiple photos where all five of the Scholink kids and all four of the Courtney kids are sitting around a table eating sandwiches and we're all under the age of 14. It was so cool.'

However, things didn't turn romantic for the couple until 2015, but the romance was short-lived before they decided to give it another go last year.

Joel explained: 'We reconnected in 2015 and started dating in 2017. We dated for a year and we broke up for a little bit of time and then started dating again in 2019 and it moved really quickly after that.'

When they got engaged on Valentine's Day, Scholink shared two photos of the couple kissing, all while showing off the bride-to-be's engagement ring.

'I like it, so I just had to go and put a ring on it,' Courtney wrote, along with a number of hashtags before adding, 'Stay tuned! Sooooooo much more to come!!!' 

Scholink’s post included pictures of the couple showing off the engagement ring.

Courtney couldn't resist taking to Instagram again to gush over his fiancee.

'Like I said, so much more to come!!! This woman right here, lemme tell you a lil bit about her,' he captioned another snap of the couple staring into each other's eyes while showcasing the engagement ring. 'She is kind, patient, hysterical, forgiving, so beautiful she makes my heart stop, honest, and joyful. I love you @mia_scholink and I am so blessed to have you as my fiancé.'
