Canadian actress Vanessa Morgan tied the knot with American Major League Baseball (MLB) player Michael Kopech in front of family and friends on Saturday (Jan. 4).

The ‘Riverdale’ star got married at Walton

House in Homestead, Florida after the couple were dating for two years and got

engaged in 2019.

She told E! News: “We both knew the

first day we met that ‘this is it’ and I’m so excited that today officially

starts our forever. Today, I vowed to love my best friend for a lifetime and it

was a day spent with those we love in a room filled with endless love. I can’t

wait to spend the rest of my life with him.â€

Skeet Ulrich, Drew Tanner and Madelaine

Petsch were just some of those who attended the celebrations whilst Vanessa’s

sister Celina was maid of honour.

Vanessa and Michael announced their

engagement back in July.

Sharing a picture of his proposal on her

Instagram account, she captioned it, “My Forever,†alongside a ring

emoji and a heart emoji.

And in a lengthy post, Michael credited

Vanessa for being the “spark that reignited his fireâ€, writing:

“So I’ll start with the obvious: I love you … I love you intensely,

passionately, & also at times, recklessly. I make decisions on the spur of

the moment (i mean look at how our relationship has gone up to this point). I’m

a very non-traditional type of person and I know I’ve found my match in you

when it comes to that especially. Our relationship probably doesn’t make sense

to many people for a sh*t ton of reasons, but we’re not doing it for them.

“We know this is forever. Why would we

wait? lol. You literally stayed by my side when I felt I had lost my mind. You

stayed by my side for these seemingly random changes of my life. You stayed

when often times I didn’t deserve it. You’ve loved me for ME from day one.

(sic)â€
