The wedding was held in Dallas, Texas, according to People. Their dog, Thunder, was the ring-bearer and the ceremony included several musical friends who sang as Mary-Mitchell Campbell, Chenoweth's musical director, accompanied them, according to the magazine. 

In April, the pair spoke to Entertainment Tonight about wedding planning and Chenoweth teased the fact that their friends would be performing. "It's gonna be a big jam session," Bryant said. "I think we're not having live music. We're just gonna all jam around."

"We don't need the DJ. We're gonna have one hootenanny," said Chenoweth, who won a Tony Award in 1999 for her role as Sally Brown in "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" on Broadway. 

They both shared images from the wedding on Instagram on Tuesday, writing: "My forever."
