The couple tied the knot in front of Egypt’s famous Great Pyramids after an African safari.
WWE fans will best remember Erika Hammond as NXT announcer Veronica Lane in 2013.
Jain also shared a video of him, former wrestler Erika Hammond, with the caption: ‘Our wedding in Egypt.’ 04/26/2024 Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us!! To our families!!’
Hammond is best known to WWE fans as Veronica Lane, who competed on the company’s developmental brand, NXT, from 2013 to 2014, first as an in-ring competitor before becoming a ring announcer and backstage interviewer. .
She debuted in 2013 in a beauty queen persona in October 2013, teaming with future World Champion Becky Lynch in a tag team match against Paige and another future WWE Superstar, Bayley.
However, her in-ring career was short-lived and when she made her television debut in December, the brand placed her as a ring announcer and she would make more appearances interviewing talent in backstage segments.
She left WWE in September 2014 and has since embarked on a successful fitness career by co-creating Rumble Boxing, where she is one of its main trainers and a trainer to several celebrities.
The gym is where Hammond met Jarin, 32, and was where their week-long celebrations across Africa began.
Since leaving WWE, Hammond has carved out a career as a fitness trainer to the stars.
The couple’s wedding includes a safari in South Africa before getting married in Egypt.
The night featured music by Robin Thicke and ended with fireworks in front of the pyramids.
After their excursion in South Africa, the happy couple traveled to Egypt by private jet and prepared a four-day itinerary for their 130 guests.
Starting with an evening launch of the festivities with a “modern Cairo” themed welcome reception at the Muhammed Ali Palace, before a completely private tour of the Pyramids and Sphinx and finally, an Ancient Egypt x Met Gala themed dinner at the Grand Egyptian Museum.
Guests were then entertained at the ceremony, with the backdrop of one of the world’s most famous landmarks and music from violinist Lindsey Sterling and singer Robin Thicke, as well as fireworks to top off the evening.
