The wedding bells are ringing Crystal Harris and her boyfriend James Ward!
Speaking on Instagram on Thursday, April 2, the former Playboy model, 39, mocked the couple’s marriage.
“My child, where is my husband… he is probably waiting for me to come down the road 🥹💍 Today is the day!!” Harris wrote the script.
An accompanying video showed Ward, 42, taking Harris in a hug. Harris wore a casual white dress for the occasion, while the backdrop was seen in their destination of the wedding, the Cook Islands of the South Pacific. The words “wedding day” were also written in the text of the video.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on the same day, Harris also showed glimpses of a romantic scene where it appeared they were planning to exchange vows. The clip shows a beach with stones perfectly placed in the shape of a heart while a floral arch stands in the middle, marking where the duo can say “I do.”
Harris also shared a video and photo of the happy couple kissing on a boat. Harris was seen wearing her wedding dress on the trip, while groom Ward looked dapper.

We’re celebrating in a way that reflects who we are as a couple — with adventure, heart and purpose,” Hefner, 38, told Us on April 2. […]
“It really felt like a full-circle moment. James really surprised me. He had hidden floors and a winding path that opened up to reveal a hand-crafted deck perched over a cliff overlooking the ocean,” Harris said. Us Weekly at that time. “It was the same place where we had a quiet picnic together last year – the place that became ‘ours.’ Little did I know that he was secretly transforming it into something permanent and symbolic. I thought we would just leave, but when I saw the flowers, the handwritten notes, and the sea stretching endlessly before us, I knew something extraordinary was about to happen.”
Harris previously wrote about the proposal on Instagram, writing in May 2025, “I said yes (of course) with my smile, my soul, all my cells – because loving you is the most natural thing I’ve ever done.”
