The wedding was a four-day affair and pictures have since shown drinking games on the beach in the run-up to the big day.
The ceremony took place in front of 102 guests.
One said: “The ceremony was over very quickly, in about 15 minutes.

Why did Trevor and Meghan get divorced?
Shortly before Meghan and Trevor tied the knot, Megan landed her role in the hit TV show Suits.
A source claimed to Woman’s Day magazine that Meghan’s role as Rachel Zane on the hit TV show Suits was to blame.
The insider said: “Meghan landed her role in Suits just a few months before they married.
“And despite being together for six years before getting hitched, things started to fall apart not long after the wedding.”
The source added that a long-distance relationship didn’t work for Meghan and Trevor, adding: “They really battled with long distances.
“Trevor was based in LA while Meghan was in Toronto, a five-hour flight away. It was a very difficult way to start married life.”
The couple separated just two years after their wedding and were divorced in August 2013, citing “irreconcilable differences”.
Royal biographer Andrew Morton revealed in his new book, Meghan: A Hollywood Princess, that the Suits actress posted back her wedding and engagement rings to Engelson after ending their marriage “out of the blue”.

The couple got hitched in a low-key wedding at a private home in exclusive Hidden Hills, California, DailyMailTV reports.
In Instagram pictures the bride can be seen wearing an off-the-shoulder, midi-length white dress.
A close friend of Tracey’s told Fabulous Digital: “Tracey has been a breath of fresh air in Trevor’s life and the two are blissfully in love.
“The name of Meghan never comes up in conversation when they are around friends and we all get the feeling neither are bothered about what happens in her life.”

They said that the California-based nutritionist “has been key in helping him recover” from the split.
