Florida GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz on Sunday married girlfriend Ginger Luckey on Catalina Island, after the couple eloped to Southern California.

The 39-year-old Gaetz and his bride were married in a small ceremony, off the coast of Los Angeles County. 

Sergio Gor, former staffer for Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, performed the ceremony, attended by about 40 people, according to Vanity Fair.
