For their nuptials, the couple wore custom Tom Ford suits. Underwood went with a deep green, while his political strategist husband chose blue, both as a nod to the natural setting of their “I dos.”
The pair walked hand in hand down the aisle and exchanged personal vows and rings before celebrating with friends and family at a reception.

The pair first met at a party in Los Angeles in April 2021, and got engaged in February 2022 in Big Sur, California.
“It was very natural and organic, how it progressed,” Underwood recalled to PEOPLE of their relationship, as Brown added, “We both just had a gut feeling.”

“He has the biggest heart and he’s such a good friend to all of the people in his life,” added Underwood. “He goes out of his way to take care of his friends and his family. That speaks volumes. It was one of the first things that I noticed about him.”
