E! News can confirm that pair, who have been together for 10 years, got married at the Montage Hotel in Laguna Beach, overlooking the ocean in a gorgeous ceremony.
An insider tells E! News it was a very romantic, “small and intimate wedding” with only 100 guests. We’re also told Copeland looked like an “ethereal goddess” in her gown designed by Inbal Dror, which she accessorized with shoes designed by Christian Louboutin.
Copeland told E! that despite the elaborate costumes she wears onstage she wanted her wedding to be simple.
“…I get to become a fairy princess on stage and wear incredible costumes and gowns to galas. So, for me, I just want to have a simple, as easy-going day as I can have and just not have it be a big show. I just want it to be simple and classy and not feel like I’m in a tutu.”
The decorations included white and pink roses as well as pink hydrangeas.
