Orange is the New Black (OITNB) power couple Samira Wiley and Lauren Morelli broke the news that they are now officially wed with a photo of the two on Instagram captioned simply “#aboutlastnight.”
Wiley’s parents, co-pastors of the first black Baptist church to perform same-sex union ceremonies in Washington, D.C., officiated the ceremony.
The couple met on the set of OITNB where Wiley starred as an inmate named Poussey Washington and Morelli serves as a writer and producer. Morelli has said she didn’t come out to herself until after starting work on the show, which features a diverse cast including lesbian, bisexual, and transgender women. She met and fell in love with Poussey and ultimately divorced her then-husband.
Wiley and Morelli got engaged back in October.
