TikTok Influencer Paige MacDonald Marries Musician Dylan Bauld — See Their Romantic Wedding Photos! (Exclusive)
"It truly felt like we were alone, just the two of us during the ceremony,” Paige tells PEOPLE
From the concert stage to the wedding aisle — TikToker Paige Sheffield (née MacDonald), known to her more than 500k followers as @paigeejenna, and her musician beau Dylan Sheffield (formerly Bauld) have tied the knot!
The pair’s three-day wedding weekend culminated in an intimate outdoor ceremony alongside their closest family and friends at the Serendipity Garden Weddings in Oak Glen, California on Saturday, June 1.
The couple tells PEOPLE that it was important for them to “be surrounded” by all of their “favorite people” — some of whom were even included in the ceremony to make it more “personal.” Dylan’s sister, Kaitlin Bauld, officiated the wedding and the couple even recited handwritten vows to each other.
“It truly felt like we were alone, just the two of us during the ceremony,” Paige shares. “... Finally being able to share our vows with one another… [was] so incredibly special.”

She walked down the aisle in the "Sally" Netta BenShabu gown from Jaxon James to the song "Till Forever Falls Apart" by Ashe and Finneas — which yet again had a personal touch, as it was performed live by their friends Jillian Rossi and Cooper Holzman.
The couple was surrounded by greenery with white flowers that decorated the vases leading up to the aisle and arch above the altar as they said, “I do.” White roses could also be seen scattered along the aisle and used to decorate the reception tables.
For the wedding reception, the bride changed into the "Simone" gown by Katherine Tash from Loho Bride, which features a body-hugging silhouette with sparkle detailing. Paige and Dylan entered together as their loved ones held up sparklers.
The pair was all smiles as they cut into and shared their wedding cake — a three-tiered vanilla cake with passionfruit curd and passion buttercream covered in pearls. They then took to the dance floor for their first dance set to "Simply The Best" performed live by Mandy Lee from Misterwives and Val Hoyt.
It was important for them to choose just the right wedding songs — as music had been a large part of their lives and is the reason they first met. Paige tells PEOPLE that their love story all began with a chance meeting with her future husband at a concert for his band Flor at the Foundry in Philadelphia.
She had attended the event due to mutual friends and even snapped a picture with Dylan for the first time because she says she “thought he was really cute.” He eventually “personally” invited her to his band’s headline show at the Bowery Ballroom in New York City.

Their relationship had a “slow burn” until the Firefly Music Festival — which is “where everything changed between them,” the couple says. Dylan eventually popped the question on Sept. 30, 2022.
The surprise was planned for the Elizabeth Street gardens next to the Bowery Ballroom — a venue all too important to the couple. The groom even almost ruined the surprise by giving his future bride his jacket with the engagement ring inside before hastily grabbing it back. However, the proposal went off without a hitch when he got down on one knee and she answered with a “Yes.”
The pair say they knew they were ready to take that next step in their relationship, as they had already “been through so much together.”
“The marriage and wedding part of it all was more of a celebration than a declaration,” Paige adds. “We lived as if we were married before, we knew we were each other's person but it was fun to have a party and solidify it all.”

As for what’s next for the couple — who took Dylan’s mom’s maiden name and are now known as Dylan and Paige Sheffield — they plan to buy a home together after their honeymoon in Cancun.
Dylan tells PEOPLE he couldn’t have chosen a better wife because “she spreads so much joy.” “She changes people’s lives,” he adds. “And I know I’m the luckiest man alive, because I get every 15 seconds, all day, forever."
Paige says she feels the same. "He is my best friend, my safe space, my home and the love of my life,” she shares. “He is a light to anyone who meets him and I'm so lucky that I have the honor of forever with him. I am the person I am today because of the way his love both holds me and pushes me forward, it never doubts me and allows me to be the best version of myself.”
