Real Housewives of Orange County‘s Jo De La Rosa Gray is marking her second wedding anniversary by looking back on her stunning nuptials on the Pacific Coast.
In never-before-seen footage from the 2022 event shared exclusively with PEOPLE, Jo and her husband, Taran Gray, lead off with an emotional reflection on their vows. Taran begins the reading by saying, “You are no longer alone, you are no longer chosen second, you are no longer searching, you are no longer trying. Because you are mine,” before cutting to Jo reading the vows in unison, continuing on with, “Because I am yours. Because we found each other and I love you no matter what.”
The couple then featured clips of themselves amid the COVID-19 pandemic talking on a video call in an effort to social distance, before leading into early clips of their romance and an abrupt cut to the beautiful scenery of Los Angeles’ Palos Verdes Estates, where the duo exchanged their vows and held their reception.

Scenes of Jo and her bridesmaids cheering with drinks, the couples’ rings and the lush surrounding scenery are complemented by footage of the woman of the evening donning her white wedding gown from Winnie Couture and embracing her new husband under her bridal veil in a garden setting.
While her maid-of-honor read a moving speech from the reception stage, another video flashback referenced Taran’s proposal to Jo, where he sang an original song called “Become My Wife” on a rose petal-covered rooftop in L.A.
Fairytale-like scenes of the couple frolicking through the forests of Palos Verdes and the open road under a sunset sky follow, then trailed by Taran’s best man reading kind words about the couple’s positive characteristics.
Clips from the bride, groom and their respective wedding parties show the groups converging with friends and family at the picturesque altar, lined with string lights and light-colored decorations.
Once Jo threw her bridal bouquet, the real party began. Loved ones of both the Real Housewives star and her husband came together for an evening of dancing under the stars at the reception, which also featured another live performance by Taran, singing directly to his new wife and embracing her while singing the song’s outro.

Taran and Jo met during the pandemic, first connecting on Hinge in June 2020 and meeting in-person three months later.
“Neither of us were looking for a relationship when we first started talking,” Gray told PEOPLE in an interview ahead of her wedding. “And when we met one another it was like, ‘Finally!’ It was that instantaneous.”
“I waited my whole life for Taran, and he’s so much more than I could have ever prayed for. He’s everything I didn’t even know that I needed,” Jo continued at the time. “He’s the most incredible man and has the most amazing heart. He’s so thoughtful and makes me feel so taken care of, yet we’re a team through and through and I feel like we’re equal partners.”
She concluded, “Taran matches my energy. He embraces and enjoys life in the same ways that I do, and I’m so grateful for that. I really feel I found the love of my life.”
