Cheers to the happy couple!
Lethal Weaponstar Michelle Mitchenor, and actor Coley Mustafa Speaks, who starred in the Netflix seriesSeven Seconds, tied the knotSunday during an intimate courtyard ceremony in Los Angeles, they confirm exclusively to PEOPLE.

In keeping with the celestial theme, the jewelry featured a mix of metals and meteorites.
Before the ceremony began, they asked that their friends unplug from social media and their daily lives in order to be fully present for the once-in-a-lifetime moment.
“The ceremony, the most sacred aspect of the day, should be free of distractions and the temptation of phones and social media,” the couple tells PEOPLE.
After, the happy couple and their guests mingled at a rooftop dinner reception featuring “His” and “Hers” cocktails (The Speakseasy and The Sip N Speaks, respectively).
The bash also featured plenty of food (including a late night breakfast themed dessert bar), an area filled with classic games, as well as an energetic dance floor whereDJ Dubzkept the good times coming. PhotographersWanderlust Creativeswere also on hand to capture every special moment from the couple’s big day. Guests also posed for memorable snaps in a Blank Booth photo booth.
In a modern twist, instead of inviting their guests to sign a guestbook, people snapped and sign polaroids to commemorate the day.
“Michelle and Coley’s shared passion for the arts and a deep love for their guests informed every decision and every detail,” planner Emily Louise ofLouise Georges Yvestells PEOPLE. “Their love and laughter is infectious and their kindness is world-class.”
As the festivities continued, the actress changed into two different bridal looks.

Opening up about theirepic engagement, Speaks previously told PEOPLE, “It was one of the most difficult acting roles I’ve tackled thus far.”
The actor says he decided to pop the question during a private screening of Mitchenor’s debut on the BET movieTales: Trap Queens, and in order to throw her off the scent, he picked a huge (but fake) fight with her the night before.
Apparently, the fake fight ended up going a little too realistically. “It was so bad I wasn’t sure she’d want to see me again,” Speaks said.
During the private screening, Speaks got down on one knee with a rose gold ring with one-carat around the band set with a one-carat diamond. “I cried, I laughed and kept saying ‘Shut the eff up!’” said Mitchenor, who adores the ring. “It’s has such a unique and vintage style to it. It stands alone and represents me perfectly.”
