Cue Hilary Duff’s “Coming Clean” because we’re having a major Laguna Beach throwback moment. All of the former Hollister-clad teens of the franchise are all grown up and getting married, having babies, and basically just making us feel really, really old. The latest Laguna Beach resident to tie the knot? Remember Dieter Schmitz? Back in the day, he was Lauren Conrad and Stephen Colletti’s BFF and dated drama queen Jessica Smith during their high school years. But now he’s playing the part of a groom, as Schmitz just tied the knot with his sweetheart in a beautiful California ceremony. And you might just recognize a few familiar faces in the wedding party…
Now the manager of EVEN Hotel Times Square South, Schmitz popped the question to his bride, Isabell Hiebl, over two years ago with a gorgeous cushion-cut diamond engagement ring, and the big day finally arrived this weekend. The couple exchanged vows on Saturday at the Intercontinental Clement Monterey hotel. The day before the “I do’s,” Schmitz took to Instagram to share his excitement and show off their to-die-for ceremony locale — a waterside spot, overlooking Monterey Bay.
On the big day, the bride wore a lovely lace wedding dress while Schmitz accessorized his classic black suit with a white boutonniere, as they said their “I do’s” under a flower-adorned ceremony arch.
No, Lauren Conrad was sadly not a bridesmaid, but a few of Schmitz’s MTV co-stars did in fact make an appearance, including Trey Phillips, Stephen Colletti, and Loren Polster. In a snapshot of pre-ceremony drinks, Schmitz tagged his boys, writing, “Love these guys @treyphillips @stephencolletti @benjammin2686 @lukih17 @lorenpolster.”
Meanwhile, Colletti shared his friend’s excitement, posting a photo of the bride and groom on social media, writing, “Big day today. 8/27/16.”
Post-“I do’s,” it seems like the couple is basking in the newlywed bliss. “Still pinching myself to make sure this is reality,” Schmitz wrote on Instagram. “What an amazing night. @isathebell Schmitz I love you!” According to E! News, the pair is heading to a dream honeymoon in Bali, Australia, and Hong Kong. We’re sure Jessica Smith is totally jealous…
