Survivor 46 winner Kenzie Petty got married
“Some pictures from the wedding we pushed,” Kenzie began an Instagram post sharing photos from her wedding day.
“We were about to sign contracts to elope in Iceland when Survivor called for the first time and asked me if I was available over the summer,” Kenzie added, revealing how her plans were altered.
“I came in and told Jackson about the call and was like maybe we should wait to move the wedding until I get another interview or something and he was immediately like ‘nope, you’re getting on, we’re moving it'” Kenzie wrote about Jackson. “He believed in me when I didn’t believe it for myself. And thank goodness I listened because he was right and I ended up on the island.”
After returning home from filming, the couple had a “little backyard wedding” that is showcased in the Instagram post below.
The second image of the post features Jackson dipping Kenzie as attendants hold sparklers to set the mood.
