Sean Lowe and Catherine Giudici are celebrating their first week as man and wife in French Polynesia just days after their televised wedding on Jan. 26.

The couple famously met on ABC's "The Bachelor" and married on live television while an estimated 6.2 million people tuned in last Sunday. Now that they have tied the knot, Lowe and Giudici said they are ready to relax on the beach before starting "normal" lives together.

"Beach, sun and fresh drinks," Giudici said one day before she and Lowe boarded a plane to Tahiti, according to People.com.

Lowe chimed in, "We're going to enjoy it. We'll spend the week [lying] on the beach, enjoying life as a newlywed couple."

Then, following their honeymoon, the bride and groom will resume life as usual.

"It's back home to Dallas," 30-year-old Lowe said, according to People. "We'll continue somewhat of a normal life!"

Their tropical vacation is the latest of extraordinary treats for the couple. Giudici and Lowe married during a lavish ceremony at the Four Seasons Resort The Biltmore in Santa Barbara, Calif. The 27-year-old bride wore a custom-made strapless white Monique Lhuillier gown that featured delicate lace and detailed beading, paired with an updo as well as a traditional veil.

The wedding event was reportedly the work of celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss and was paid for by ABC. The network is believed to have paid the couple a six-figure sum in addition to covering their wedding costs, according to E! News.

Among the ceremony attendees was former "The Bachelorette" and "The Bachelor" stars such as Trista Sutter and her husband Ryan, Daniella McBride, Jef Holm and Ali Fedotowsky, among many others.

Lowe and Giudici famously waited until their marriage to have sex, as proved by a recent lie detector test taken by them both. Furthermore, their vows included many references to their strong faith.
