Tara Costa, John Baranowski Wed: ‘Biggest Loser’ Weight Loss Winner’s Marriage Includes Mashed Potatoes [Video]

Tara Costa wed John Baranowski in a celebration of love. Famed for competing on The Biggest Loser in Season 7, Tara married John in New York on July 4, reported Us Weekly.

Costa, who is a gym teacher, chose a Victor Harper dress in which to wed Baranowski. Almost 200 guests celebrated with them, and some of the most popular alums of The Biggest Loser were there, including Mark Pinhasovich, Pamela Geil, and Jackson Carter.

Tara was honest in describing what her marriage to John means.

“I am not the person who has dreamt of this day since I was [a] little girl,” confessed Costa. “To be honest I never thought I would be the one to find that special person.”

However, now that she has found her true love, Tara revealed just how much her wedding day means to her.

“But today is a HUGE day for me and probably one of the most important days of my entire life. I get to marry my best friend, John.”

Baranowski and Costa are truly in love, she emphasized.

“He’s the reason for so much happiness in my life,” Tara asserted. “We’ve chosen to live this life together, because there’s no one else in the entire world we’d rather do it with.”

For that memorable first dance, Tara and John chose Darius Rucker’s “History In The Making.” Their choice of flowers for the reception included roses, hydrangeas, snapdragons, and orchids. And to make it extra romantic, their guests dined lit by the soft shadows of candles.

Even winners of The Biggest Loser have to eat, and Tara and John went all out for the food. From virtuous spinach to exotic chilean sea bass with lobster fricassee, the menu, of course, included a three-tier cake. And to add some extra guilty treats, a mashed potato bar completed the tasty picture.

Tara, who took third place when she competed on The Biggest Loser, also shared the joy of her marriage on social media, reported E News.

From her bridal shower to shedding-for-the-wedding workouts, Costa made it clear that she feels overwhelmed with joy and gratitude for her future with John.

“I am feeling very grateful and blessed as I start this new chapter in my life!” shewrote on Facebook. “The Future Mrs. XoXo.”

Other guests from The Biggest Loser “family” also posted their views.

“The bride and groom with the @BiggestLoserNBC family. #BLFam @Tara_Costa @PamelaGeil @BL10Mark.”

As the Inquisitr reported, another alum of The Biggest Loser, Ali Vincent, also just got married. Vincent made history by becoming the first female to take home the grand prize from The Biggest Loser.
