March 27 (UPI) — “Orange is the new Black” star Samira Wiley and the show’s writer Lauren Morelli have officially tied the knot.

The ceremony took place in Palm Springs, Calif. on Saturday at the same place they got engaged in October, according to Martha Stewart Weddings.

The celebration, which was officiated by Wiley’s parents, included a confetti theme based on the couple’s love for Pillsbury Funfetti cake.

Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do it” was used as they walked down the aisle while Justin Bieber‘s “Baby” was played during the couple’s grand entrance to the reception.

The pair donned custom Christian Siriano ensembles with Wiley wearing an off-the-shoulder dress with a full skirt and Morelli wearing a chic pantsuit complete with a decorated bodice and a long cape.

Wiley shared an image of their bridal outfits from Martha Stewart Weddings on Instagram writing “#aboutlastnight.” The actress also posted a photo of herself and Morelli after the wedding writing “#wifed.”

Wiley, 29, and Morelli started dating in 2014 after Morelli had split from her husband of two years Steve Basilone. The writer and producer came out as gay in an essay published in Identities. Mic writing, “I realized I was gay in fall 2012, one of my first days on the (OITNB) set.”
