For her special day, the "Once On This Island" producer donned an elegant strapless gown by Kinsley James Couture Bridal and Netta BenShabu. On the other hand, her husband opted for a tuxedo from Hugo Boss.

"We always dreamed of a wedding on the smaller side, but with COVID, we definitely had to scale back more than we anticipated," the actress shared with Brides of her wedding ceremony, per People.

She concluded, "Having our closest family and loved ones there (safely) was a priority for us. By setting the expectation from the get-go that we had to limit guests, we were able to focus our planning and ensure that we could stay flexible in case any element of the day needed to change."

The ceremony came after the pair celebrated a major milestone in their relationship: their third year of being together.

"Three years. Thank you for choosing me," the actress captioned along with a smiling image of the duo and their cute French bulldog, Bear.

"I look forward to a lifetime of your cheesy puns, competitive game nights, lazy morning Harry Potter marathons, wine tastings, new restaurant discoveries, walks with Bear and seeing the world with you," she continued. "Much more to come. I love you so much."

The duo met in 2018 while on the dating app hinge. Following that, Stanley proposed to the South-Korean native in August of the next year. The singer posted a selfie showing her engagement ring and captioned it, "yes, a million times, yes,"

After the engagement, the pair moved in and eventually got a house together.

"We are so excited to start this new chapter," the Broadway star shared with her Instagram followers. "We're about to embark on a journey of moving + lots of home organizing and renovations," she concluded, per UsWeekly.

A month before the baby's arrival, the actress opened up about how she prepared for the arrival of her baby girl.

"As we get closer to meeting our baby girl, I'm thinking about all the choices I'll have to make as a new mom and the ones I have to make before she even arrives. We decided to preserve our baby's cord blood and cord tissue at birth. In times like these where there are so many unknowns, my family can rest easy knowing that we are doing everything we can for our daughter's and family's future health," she concluded, per PopSugar.
