It was routine game day for Clemson in 2022. Another road game, another dominant win, 31-3, over Boston College. For quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, it was business as usual on the field. But in the stands, something far more personal was unfolding. His girlfriend, Ava, a Clemson volleyball athlete, was cheering him on, as she has so many times before. After the final whistle, with fans lingering and cameras still flashing, DJ made his way to the edge of the stands where Ava leaned over a metal railing. There they were, separated only by a steel barrier and surrounded by a stadium full of people who had no idea they were witnessing a memory in the making.
Ava later posted a photo on Instagram, with DJ standing below, Ava beaming from above, with a simple caption “48 hours in Boston.” There are other pictures, too, one before that game as DJ Uiagalelei lovingly hugs her, donning a dazzling blue suit just before that game. But that one? It just says so much. Now, almost 3 years since that picture in September, DJ Uiagalelei has finally made it official with his longtime girlfriend, Ava.
Ava shared the update on her IG account, 3 days after the duo had taken those vows. She writes, “Mr. & Mrs. Uiagalelei — 07•05•25Forever yours ,” as the duo can be seen happily striding down the church’s aisle, sporting an infectious smile in the picture Ava shared. But that’s not the only picture here, too. It’s a collection that will make anyone’s day, as in one of them, we see the couple kissing as both are covered adorably in the bride’s veil. In another?
The duo can be seen exiting the church as their family and friends celebrate and cheer for them. Another shows DJ holding Ava’s dress as she poses for a picture walking down the street. Even better? The duo, standing in a hall with guests lit up with a beautiful chandelier, as Ava holds DJ comfortably while he’s giving his wedding toast. The moments are truly mesmerizing and are a treat to watch as the couple celebrates the momentous day.
