One year after getting engaged, the Real co-host and the "Soul Survivor" rapper tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at their home in Atlanta on March 27, according to Vogue.

The couple said they provided COVID-19 tests for everyone in attendance.

"We were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate," she said. "But we had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID.

"Our plan was to get married in February and have a baby immediately after. Due to COVID and having to reschedule our wedding to a year away, we decided to do things backward," Compono told PEOPLE exclusively.

"We are taking COVID very seriously and have requested that all of the guests receive a recent COVID test before attending," the couple told PEOPLE ahead of their big day. "We are having the ceremony outdoors with plenty of room to social distance."

On Jan. 3, the Vikings star announced on Instagram that he and fiancée Dear had eloped on top of a Utah mountain just one month after their engagement. Their pet dog, Yam, acted as their witness.

"My wife, my best friend, the future mother of my children, my everything," Ludwig wrote, sharing a photo of the couple in their wedding attire at The Lodge at Blue Sky's private mountain retreat, just outside of Salt Lake City.

"We decided to elope. It has been such a crazy year but it certainly put things into perspective. Life is too short And I didn't want to spend another day without calling this beautiful woman my wife," the actor continued. "Of course when things settle down we will have a proper celebration with our friends and family but for now- the love of my life, our dog yam, a yurt on a mountain top in the middle of nowhere sounded like the perfect beginning."
