“Happy wife, happy life.”

Two days after walking down the aisle, Kate Upton returned to social media Monday, when she gushed about her fairy-tale wedding to longtime love and World Series champ Justin Verlander.

“I feel so lucky that I got to marry my best friend!! @justinverlander Thank you to our family and friends for making this weekend so fun and magical!” Upton, 25, shared with her 5.2 million Instagram followers.

The couple, who announced their engagement at the 2016 Met Gala after three years of dating, exchanged vows in scenic Italy, where they were surrounded by family and close friends. Verlander, 34, who helped the Astros score their first championship in franchise history Wednesday, later expressed his gratitude for the momentous occasion.

“Happy wife happy life! What an amazing beginning to our journey together! @kateupton #justmarried,” the pitcher posted.

The former Detroit Tiger did catch some internet flak for skipping the Astros’ victory parade in Houston on Friday. In his defense, there was another ring on the line.
