“I had a sneaking suspicion that we would get married,” Lane told PEOPLE about the pair’s relationship early on. “At least I was hoping that would be the case.”
And the feeling was mutual. “We instantly connected,” said Hughes, who met Lane on Instagram. “I felt like I had known him for years.”
As Lane and Hughes embark upon their lives as husband and wife, the groom joked about one benefit about a Leap Year wedding. “Our anniversary will only officially happen every four years,” he said with a laugh. “I’ll never forget it!”
