TEEN Mom's Nathan Griffith was seen kissing his new wife May Oyola in the first photos of the private pair as he opened up about his secret Miami wedding.  

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, the former Teen Mom 2 star said he and his new wife opted for a lowkey, private ceremony in Miami to officially tie the knot with plans for a bigger reception abroad on the horizon.

In first photos, obtained by The Sun, the newlyweds beamed as they strolled on the beach and shared kisses on the sunny Miami day.

"We've wanted to get married for a while now but had dealt with bumps in the road along the way. We finally got married on the rooftop of a hotel in April and we had somebody who could notarize the wedding ceremony with us.

"We exchanged vows and then we took pictures together over the city," Nathan, 34, said.

The affair was casual, Nathan explained, with May, 38, wearing a white summer dress, while he sported a white shirt and black shorts. "We look good together," he added.

"We are having a second wedding in Argentina for her family. It's going to be sometime this summer most likely." 

Nathan said there are a few different venues they are considering, but the larger fete will be the first time he would be meeting all of May's family.  

The MTV star said he wasn't expecting to get into a relationship, but everything changed when they finally met in person. 

"I was just wanting to be casual. I was out of a long relationship and I really wasn't looking for anybody, but as soon as I met up with her, I knew she was the one. 

"She made me feel good about myself and when I was going through a lot of problems, she was like my counselor. I can talk to her and she helps me work through stuff." 

Nathan said that he finds May incredibly smart and calls the trucking logistics coordinator an extremely hard worker. 

He also added; "She is absolutely gorgeous, too." 

They met on Instagram some time ago, but Nathan said he was in and out of relationships so the timing wasn't right until they met up in Miami in late April for the first time last year. 

It was important to them to make their relationship official, Nathan added.

"A priority right now is having an equally mutual understandable relationship. For us to get to the point where we are now married, we've had a lot of rough stuff in our lives and a lot of that rough stuff had to do with me," he confessed. 

"Things were getting serious and I wanted to run away. Most of the trust issues have been my fault, and we've had a rough time because of me making mistakes, but we finally got to the point where realized we are secure enough in our relationship to get married.  

"That's commitment, we can't just break up and get back together. We've broken up and gotten back together several times and we've finally reached an understanding where we're secure with our relationship and we trust each other where we decided let's just go ahead and tie the knot because then both of us can't back out of it," he added. 

Nathan said his ex, former Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans, hasn't formally met May yet, and that she doesn't really ask a lot of questions when it comes to his romantic life. 

Jenelle and Nathan's son Kaiser, 7, however, has met May. 

"Kaiser is really protective over me, so at first it was a little rocky because Kaiser has opened up to a couple of women now in his life and he got really close with my ex, and that made him on the defensive with me." 

The MTV star added that at first Kaiser would hold on to his dad and not really engaged with May, but that he is coming around. 

"He's finally opening up to May, and he hasn't been asking me for everything and now asks her for everything which is really cool to see. I think he was just being guarded."

Nathan said that one thing seems clear in their relationship, that May has helped keep his life in check. 

"May is incredibly stubborn, but in the way that she tells me when I'm wrong and backs it up with her perspective, and she only does it when she is actually right. I really like that about her."
