The couple, who won the dating show in 2023, looked more loved-up than ever during their day as Kai picked up Sanam and twirled her around the gardens.
The pair celebrated with their closest family and friends, who were seen showering the newlyweds with confetti.
Ahead of the day, Sanam filmed a fun TikTok with her four bridesmaids, who were dressed in matching floor-length purple dresses.
The couple later enjoyed their traditional Indian reception party as Sanam slipped into a dazzling white dress which she accessorised with chandelier earrings and several bracelets.
The newlyweds couldn't contain their smiles as they took to the dancefloor to celebrate their day with friends.
They captioned the post: 'Mr and Mrs Fagan forever and always 01/08/2025.'
Alongside the video of their wedding, they added: 'Sharing a snippet of our most magical day'.
Meanwhile, the newlyweds tucked into a two-tier buttercream cake adorned with white and lilac flowers.

The cake was made by Sanam's Casa Amor pal Cynthia Taiwo, with the professional baker expressing her love for the couple as she shared a snap of the cake on her Instagram.
She penned: 'Thank you thank you thank you for trusting me to make this cake for you on such a special day. Myself and Sanam walked into the Love Island villa together, so this was a full circle moment for me.
'Cheers to Mr and Mrs Fagan.'
One fan took to the comments to say they 'love how the couple incorporated her ethnicity into the wedding with the Indian style', prompting Sanam to reply: 'Thank you. Waiting for the rest of the photos to come through but you'll see it soon'.
While their celebrity pals including Love Island co-stars flooded them with congratulatory messages.
Claudia Fogarty wrote: 'Congratulations to you both, you look beautiful xxx.'
Ron Hall said: 'A special couple and a special love,' while his ex Lana Jenkins gushed: 'Beautiful photos guys, congratulations.'
Lucie Donlan commented: 'Wow, congratulations guys,' and Wes Nelson also penned: 'Congratulations.'
With Casey O'Gorman sharing: 'Winners for a reason congrats guys.'

The couple's stunning wedding venue allows couples to either say their vows in the Grade II listed Essex Barn, before enjoying their reception in the brand new orangery.
Guests can mingle in the lush gardens with it's peaceful water feature and take a stroll through the vineyard entrance before later winding down in the recently renovated onsite accommodation featuring its own pool.
Ahead of their big day, Kai told how Sanam had took charge of most of the wedding planning.
He told The Sun: She's taking a bit of control of this because I never had a dream wedding. A lot of young girls have a dream wedding and know exactly what they want.
'And that's going to be her special day at the end of the day. So it's got to be perfect for her. But I'd marry her anywhere I'd go to the registry office in Manchester tomorrow.'
The couple announced their engagement in April 2024, one a year after meeting and falling in love in the Mallorca villa.
In recent days, they kept fans up-to-date with the lead-up to their wedding, giving a glimpse into their preparations on Instagram.
Taking to their respective accounts on Thursday, the pair got themselves spruced up for their big day, with Kai seen getting a fresh trim for the occasion.
The P.E teacher shared snaps of himself in a barber's chair as his pal gave him a hair cut, writing in his caption: 'Trim completed. Now time to log off for a few days, enjoy life, be present and marry the love of my life.'
Meanwhile, social worker Sanam showed off her gorgeous wedding nails on her stories, with her fingernails adorned with pearl and sequin embellishments.
She simply wrote alongside her snap: 'Tomorrow', alongside emojis of a bride and groom.
Last week, both the bride and groom shared snaps of their hen and stag parties as they let their hair down with pals ahead of tying the knot.
Sanam jetted off to Ibiza with her pals and her mother, while Kai and his friends had a grand time on their own sport-themed trip, larking around and drinking.
Kai also paid tribute to his future wife ahead of their wedding day as he got her name tattooed on his arm.
The couple met on the hit ITV show in March 2023 in the infamous Casa Amor, and came out as the winning couple.
The two lovebirds have been going strong ever since, and in April 2024, they announced their engagement as Kai got down on one knee while boating in Cambridge.
During the romantic proposal in Cambridge, Sanam was dressed in bridal white while Kai opted for a matching coloured jacket.
They passionately kissed one another in another lovely photo before celebrating by popping champagne.
They recently revealed why their relationship has lasted longer than other couples' relationships from the programme as they took a swipe at their co-stars.
Speaking to OK! magazine, the couple explained the sacrifices they have had to make to maintain their relationship.
Kai said: 'The difference between Love Island couples and ordinary couples is that there is a lot of pressure on the relationship when you leave the villa.
'What makes Sanam and I different is that you have to decide what you want more: the fame that comes with the show, or the person you're in a relationship with.
'You get invited to parties but we wanted each other more than that lifestyle. We enjoy every moment together and we do things the other person is interested in, too.'
The couple are famously humble, with Sanam going straight back into social work after the show, instead of launching a career as an influencer.

Molly Mae Hague vows to keep posting about parenting despite backlash as she insists she 'regrets nothing' - but Tommy Fury admits he doesn't feel the same way
Molly Mae Hague has insisted she will keep posting about motherhood to help others despite suffering fierce backlash from trolls online. However just as his partner vowed to keep sharing her life on social media, Tommy Fury admitted he is not the type of person to open his life up to the world. The influencer, 26, regularly shares vlogs sharing her experience with parenting their daughter Bambi, two, but her more recent videos have caused a stir. She was recently forced to hit back at followers who claimed her sister Zoe, 28, was 'more of a dad' to Bambi after spotting the boxer missing from her many vlogs. Speaking in a new YouTube video after a few weeks off, Molly Mae said: 'No matter what went on online after my last couple of videos, do I have a single regret for speaking about how I feel in my motherhood journey over the past couple of weeks? 'Absolutely not. In my DMs, the messages that I receive when I open up about my feelings towards motherhood and how sometimes I'm feeling and I'm vulnerable about it, like it makes it so incredibly worth it. 'Because the messages I receive, I have mums actually saying to me, like, you don't understand how much I needed to hear what you said. I know it's what I need to do. Like. I'm not going to shy away ever from talking about how I'm really feeling in any situation' While Molly Mae is set on still opening up her life to the camera, Tommy said he is 'not the type of guy to have a YouTube channel', while discussing his upcoming fly on the wall documentary, Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury. He said: 'I thought it was important for me to share the documentary because like I've said many times I'm not the type of guy who will sit down in front of a camera and have a YouTube channel where it's me doing Q&As and talking about my life like that. 'I'm a fighter and that's what I've always been and I feel like by doing this documentary people are going to see a side to me that they have never seen before, because I don't show that. 'They only known what they see on Instagram and seeing me fight but there's a whole other layer beyond that which people will see in the documentary, so that's why it felt like the right time.' Prior to their split, Tommy did appear in Molly Mae's vlogs and fans recently questioned why he is now missing from them now they have reconciled. Molly Mae admitted she and Tommy are 'still figuring things out' in their relationship. In her latest YouTube video Molly-Mae defended him and said: 'I've seen so many comments saying "Zoe is more the dad" I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with Tommy literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week,' 'But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family'. Before adding: 'I just think like we're not there yet and still figuring out life and living situations. I'm not ready to vlog like we used to'. Molly-Mae later broke down in tears as she opened up about Bambi's tantrum and explained that everything was a 'huge problem' even convincing the toddler to wear shoes. Filming herself in the driving seat with Bambi in the back she said: 'I'm trying so so hard to stay positive but, I feel like I need to keep my camera running all day so you can see like every single thing,' '[Bambi] is a huge problem, [She] screams [I] can't even get like socks and shoes on'. Molly-Mae and Tommy split in August last year, later citing the boxer's struggle with alcohol as the reason for their break-up, but reconciled earlier this year. They have faced accusations their breakup was a 'publicity stunt' after they were filmed sharing a passionate kiss on New Year's Eve ahead of the launch of her three-part Prime Video series. Molly previously said her biggest 'frustration' was having their breakup questioned by skeptics when there was a lot more happening behind the scenes. Elsewhere in the new video Molly-Mae tearfully broke her silence following recent backlash from fans who once again branded the whinging millionaire influencer 'out of touch'. She has been accused of 'always moaning' in recent weeks after complaining she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. She also faced criticism after complaining about a recent £86,000 motorhome holiday. Molly-Mae's sister has also come under fire for her 'tone deaf' posts of late after revealing she had fled Bali for Dubai after just 48 hours because it didn't live up to her expectations. In the clip Molly-Mae claimed that she 'didn't care' about the uproar but has been left 'scared' about discussing anything 'controversial' She said: 'I don't care who tells me I am out of touch with reality or all this stuff thats going on on T ikTok at the minute, I don't care i'm not going to not talk about it'. She later went on: 'I feel like I don't want to talk about anything controversial anymore because in the last video I said some things I probably could have worded better and even with all the motherhood things I am talking about at the minute, it's just a lot'. 'Debunking that whole thing about me feeling like I shouldn't talk about what is going on in the day because I am scared about what people will think and what they have to say about it'. She said: 'I've see so many comments saying "Zoe is more the dad" I only vlog when I am not with Tommy, I am with him literally 80% of the week and he is with Bambi majority of the week' 'But I vlog when we are here and he is at his because it's just something that I am not ready to like open up with yet and like flinging the camera around like when we're a family' The couple split in August last year, later citing the boxer's struggle with alcohol as the reason for their break-up, but reconciled earlier this year Last week fans blasted the TV personality for 'always moaning' after after she said she'd 'not done one fun thing all summer' despite jetting off to multiple destinations. She said in her vlog: 'I said to a friend the other day, that I'm going to make it to the end of summer having not done one fun thing.' She then spoke to her sister and said: 'Zoe, I haven't socialised once. I'm going to get to the end of this summer having not done one social fun thing. 'I haven't a life. That's not good is it. Summer will end and I've not done one fun social thing.' It left some fans open-mouthed as they called out how she failed to acknowledge the three holidays she's already been on this year. Some comments read: 'She's a millionaire, she can literally wake up tomorrow and do whatever the hell she wants', 'Wimbledon, lunches, Spain, Dubai, France, Centre Parcs... let's normalise that', 'This was so jarring because she can casually spend 6k in Dior on an outfit to log to Wimbledon then complains she has no time for herself', 'Why does she always want us to feel sorry for her?'
