WWE Star Daria Berenato Marries Toni Cassano in New Jersey Wedding Officiated by Maria Menounos (Exclusive)

Daria Berenato and Toni Cassano are officially married!

The WWE star, 30, and her fitness model fiancee, 33, said “I do” on Feb. 10 at The Legacy Castle in New Jersey — a sprawling venue the brides ironically joked was quite large for their “intimate” ceremony — surrounded by 140 members of their closest family and friends, including Berenato’s fellow WWE wrestlers, their rep confirmed exclusively to PEOPLE.

“I think we have two and a half tables or three tables just for WWE people,” Berenato said ahead of the wedding. “We have neighbors and old family friends come over, and it’s like this big wrestler next to my little neighbor. There will be some funny couples.”

Wrestlers Charlotte Flair and Andrade, Bayley, Montez Ford and Bianca Belair, Liv Morgan, McKenzie Mitchell, Matt Cardona and Chelsea Green, Mandy Rose and WWE commentator Vic Joseph were in attendance.

Belair, who was in the ring the night the couple met, served as flower girl for a surprise Cassano had prepared for Berenato.

Guests were asked to wear all black for the elegant affair, while Cassano, Berenato and Cassano’s two daughters, Giovanna and Valentina, were dressed in white. Neither bride decided to organize a wedding party, and their wedding combinations remained a surprise until the big day.

Cassano worked with the “wonderful” Karen Sabage for her dress, while Berenato weighed several different options until the very end.

“I didn’t want to wear a traditional, button-down tuxedo or dress,” says Berenato. “I wanted equip!”

Cassano’s daughters, aged 8 and 12, had special roles during the celebration.

“The joining of our families happened so organically,” says Cassano, who surprised Berenato by singing her vows.

“They [would] say: ‘How much longer our a wedding?’” Berenato adds, beaming. “So that’s how we look at it. Our older daughter, Giovanna, is very good at playing the piano, so she is [playing] Toni’s walk down the aisle song. And then our little Valentina is in charge of the rings.”

The sentimental touches didn’t end with the couple’s daughters, as the ceremony was made even more special thanks to their officiant: Maria Menounos (wearing Monique Lhuillier), Berenat’s longtime friend.

“That was one element that was really special to me. Maria and her husband Keven [Undergaro] they were a big part of my life. They’re the reason I’m in WWE — they introduced me to that whole world,” says Berenato. “They were my mentors when I was a 20-year-old bartender in Los Angeles, so they were with me the whole ride. ”

“They also saw some of my previous relationships and had some opinions. So when I found Toni and they met Toni, they fell in love with her the same way I did,” she continues. “And so Maria puts it into words — because she’s so good at it — everything that happened here was perfect fits.”

In a statement to PEOPLE, Menounos and Undergaro talk about their long friendship with Berenat. “Daria started hosting our AfterBuzz network when she was just 21 years old, where she instantly became family to Kev and me. The first female MMA fighter in WWE history, the first openly gay woman in WWE history, the first in our hearts as her parents from the west coast and now the proud wife of the equally beautiful, smart, talented and devoted, Toni Cassano!” say the couple. “This union has been long awaited. And I really appreciate this opportunity to officiate their wedding. Their love is a fairy tale.”

Berenato calls his new wife “ride or die,” adding that Cassano is “by my side no matter what” — including on the dance floor.

At the reception, brides will enjoy their first dance (after a round of lessons!) to Etta James’ “At Last,” and expect their loved ones to take it to plenty of 2000s hip hop and R&B, along with country music hits.

As for the food, guests were served a wide variety of options, from rigatoni dishes to freshly carved steak, plus seafood towers during cocktail hour.

The brides also curated their own signature drinks: a spiced margarita for Cassano and a Moscow Mule for Berenato.

As for end-of-night candy?

“Cannolis, and whatever [else] you can imagine,” says Berenato.

Food trucks will also be lined up for guests to enjoy as the party draws to a close. “Because who doesn’t leave a wedding hungry?” says the WWE pro.

“I know there’s so much food at a wedding, but then you’re drinking and partying and dancing and burning 5,000 calories on the dance floor and then you’re starving!” she explains. “So we have pizza and donuts on the way out, which makes me really happy because those are my two favorite foods. I have to choose that!”

The couple’s next big adventure will be their honeymoon in Costa Rica, where neither of them have been before.

“I’ve been wanting to go for a long time,” says Berenato. “You have volcanoes, you have rainforest, you have zip lines, you have food tasting. So many different things to do. And so we will go to a hotel and a resort and just explore Costa Rica, eat, pray, love.”

Then the two are ready to start a new life together. And though their schedules are packed between Berenat’s WWE career, Cassano’s fitness competitions, and their joint real estate businesses as housemates, the couple is open to possibly expanding their family one day.

“It’s something we talk about a lot, and I just think that when you love someone so much, to think about bringing another being into this world that’s yours together, it’s so special. “I think it would be a blessing if and when that happens,” says Berenato.[We] I have to see how the next few years go. I have to make sure that my family that we have right now is safe and that everything is taken care of.”

Cassano agrees. “And then we’ll see,” she says with a smile.
