After planning her and Artem Chigvintsev's August 2022 Paris wedding in just four weeks, the former WWE star finally walked down the aisle on the Feb. 16
The night before they swapped vows, Nikki and Artem held a romantic rehearsal dinner on a luxury boat cruising down the Seine where they celebrated with friends and family
