Matthew Morrison Is Married! See His Wedding Photo
It sure was one gleeful moment when the actor popped the question to his longtime girlfriend last summer, but Matthew Morrison and Renee Puente must be grinning ear to ear after tying the knot.
The two were married Saturday evening in an intimate celebration in front of 50 family and friends on a private estate in Kihei on the island of Maui, Hawaii, the actor's rep confirms exclusively to PEOPLE.
Morrison wore a custom Brooks Brothers tuxedo for the occasion, while the bride wore a one-of-a-kind Gustavo gown with shoes specially designed by Emmy London.
Of course a Glee wedding would be incomplete without musical performances. Pianist Chad Whidden played for the crowd and soloist Kiley Dean sang "Feels Like Home" as Puente walked down the aisle.

Later on in the evening, Puente put on a special Hula performance for Morrison, and he then joined her in a couples version. The talented newlyweds ended their performances with a special duet together, singing Laura Benanti's "Starry Eyed/Video Games."
Kevin Covey Wedding and Events planned the affair, which featured food by Bev Gannon's Celebrations Catering – including a special dessert station made up of Morrison and Puente's favorite family recipes – and floral and décor by Inviting Occasion.
Photography was provided by Natalie Watson Photography and Watson Studios, and the videographer was Perryfield Films.
The Glee actor, 35, and the model, 31, have been dating since 2011. "An incredible night of LOVE @ejaf ball," Morrison Tweeted in June of the engagement. "I'm going to marry my best friend! Happy day for me and @Renee_Puente."

What? No GLEE cast members there? Not even Jane Lynch?
You know PEOPLE would have mentioned it if there were.
Guess he's not coming back for the final season (since they're filming right now....)

Unbelievable as it may seem, Morrison isn't gay.
Even when he was in NYC doing musical theater, he was always dating women (including at one point Lea Michele!), and despite many rumors and many attempted seductions by men, he never went for dick.
Even when he did stuff like this, he was just teasing and was never even considered bi...

Did you see him in "South Pacific" D@vida? Matthew, as Lt. Cable, and the actress who played Liat looked like they truly cared for each other. It's called acting.
Note that in the "People" photo, they're not even looking at each other, D@vida. Matthew is looking at the camera, not his wife. He truly cares for cameras that are aimed in his direction.

It's called "situational pinging": someone pings because they are surrounded by gays and/or perform on Broadway. Although I agree that MM pings louder than bombs in other settings as well.

I don't know if he is gay. But he is gay friendly. His annual Halloween Party this year included guests Bryan Singer, Colton Hayes and Adam Lambert. Adam was on "Glee" last year, but I don't know how he connects to the other two. There were even some straight guys there, Derek Hough and Chord Overstreet.

I said this years ago - and of course was crucified here. My best friend (a girl) dated Matthew's best friend (a guy) for years and years. Matthew is totally straight. I couldn't believe it either!
I actually finally met him in LA the summer before Glee came out. He was so nice and humble. He thought the show would last two weeks and then he'd be back in NYC doing theater.

He wasn't stuggling in NYC. He'd starred in Hairspray which was a huge hit, received a Tony nomination for South Pacific, another huge hit and he can now come back and get the lead in anything he wants on Bway. My bet is that he's the next Hedwig.

He had a featured role in Hairspray, which was over ten years ago, he was not Tony nominated for South Pacific and he has never had a starring role on Broadway because he's merely a featured actor with no star power.
