A three-day wedding celebration in Spain.
On New Year’s Eve, news broke that Zach Bryan had married his girlfriend, Samantha, after rumors had been going on for a little while now about their marital status. Until the wedding, though, all we knew for sure was that Leonard and Bryan were dating, and had been since just after his very public and messy breakup with Barstool Sports personality Brianna Chickenfry.
Bryan and Leonard’s relationship went public around August of 2025, and Zach actually fueled those marriage rumors himself when he posted a video of himself, Leonard, and some friends paragliding in Europe. Fans quickly spotted a gold band on the singer’s ring finger, and interestingly enough, Bryan deleted the video shortly after it was posted. He then replaced the video with another, only this time a bald eagle emoji covered his left hand.
TMZ officially reported in the 11th hour in 2025 that Zach and Samantha were married in San Sebastian, Spain.
Zach later shared the first official photo of him and Samantha as husband and wife, with a beautiful black and white photo of them along with the caption:
“Tougher than the rest.”
Samantha looked gorgeous, and from the few photos and videos I’ve seen, it looked like a dreamy event in Spain… what a way to end 2025:
And according to new information from the wedding planner, the celebration lasted over three days.
In the video TMZ posted of ZB and Samantha running to their getaway car, it’s clear she’s wearing a different dress than the one she’s wearing in the image ZB shared. ZB later revealed that Samantha took some of the lace from his mother’s wedding dress for her ceremony dress, and I (like many others) assumed the dress she’s sporting in the “Tougher than the rest” image might have been a secondary reception dress.
However, Banana Split Events, which is also responsible for weddings of other celebrities like Sophia Richie Grainge, shared details from night one of their wedding extravaganza, and fans can see that Samantha looks show-stopping in the same dress that ZB posted her in. The post’s caption notes that this look was for their welcome dinner, which officially kicked off their wedding weekend in Spain.
“The details: Samantha & Zach kicked off their three-day wedding celebration with a welcome dinner at Miramar Palace, overlooking the stunning coastline of San Sebastián.”
The carousel of images highlights the details from their welcome dinner, and it’s absolutely stunning. With moody tones of burgundy, light pink, and more, it gives a very gothic romantic feel. The bar was even complete with cigarettes for guests to take and custom matches for lighting…talk about a sign of a good time.
After saying “I do,” Samantha also took to Instagram to share several photos from their absolutely gorgeous ceremony, which looks to be at a breathtaking Spanish cathedral.
She shared several of them at the altar, saying their vows, along with a few other snapshots, and the flowers and the setting at this church are gorgeous. I can’t imagine a prettier setting for a wedding. Samantha, who made a beautiful bride, shared the photos along with the simple caption:
“Forever.”
From a quick Google search, it looks like the ceremony took place at The Basilica of Saint Mary of Coro, a Baroque Roman Catholic parish church and minor basilica completed in 1774.
You can see the photos here:
This wedding was highly detailed, and the more information that comes out from it, I can only imagine the months of extensive planning that made this vision come to life. Truly breathtaking.
Congratulations again to Zach and Samantha Bryan.
