New York/IBNS: Jennifer Gates, daughter of Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and Melinda Ann French, married her long-time boyfriend Nayel Nassar at the Gates family farm in Westchester, New York last Saturday.

Nayel Nassar is an Egyptian equestrian who competed in the Tokyo Olympics recently, while Jennifer is currently a medical student.

Both have graduated from Stanford and met on the equestrian circuit and began dating in 2017.

They had announced their engagement last year.

The wedding was described as an "otherworldly fairytale" by Jennifer Katherine Gates.

She wore a custom Vera Wang gown for her weekend wedding.

"Planning a wedding while I was in medical school rotations and Nayel was preparing for the Olympics was no small feat," Jennifer Gates told Vogue. "But it was so worth it to share such a special day with those closest to us."

In an Instagram Story shared this morning, Jennifer Gates thanked her wedding guests and "everyone who made this dream come to life."

Guests in the wedding were required to be fully vaccinated and produce a negative Covid-19 report.

"We feel incredibly fortunate to be able to gather with our loved ones safely. We know others aren't as lucky, especially as the pandemic continues to devastate communities in the United States and around the world," said Jennifer Gates.
