Actors Shaun Sipos and Lindsey Morgan Are Married! Inside the Epic Wedding Celebration in Texas (Exclusive)
The stars of ‘Outer Range’ and ‘The 100’ tied the knot in a three-day wedding celebration in Dripping Springs, Austin, Texas over the weekend
Shaun Sipos and Lindsey Morgan are officially husband and wife!
The actors married on Thursday during a three-day wedding celebration in Austin, Texas.
"It’s incredibly profound and meaningful, Sipos tells PEOPLE of the couple's big day. "For us [marriage] means coming together in the sight of God, that’s what was most important to us and then to be around all of our loved ones as witnesses to our love and commitment to one another."
Adds Morgan: "Making this kind of commitment and testament to each other in front of our family and friends; to honor, love and respect through thick and thin means so much to me. My parents divorced when I was young, and so for me, my decision for marriage was very important. I take our vows wholeheartedly. This marriage also lays down the foundation for our future family, and being a mother."
The pair's festivities which were planned by Hill Country Native kicked off with the spit roasted lamb rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks by Madre Mezcal, before the couple exchanged personal vows on Sept. 21 in front of 135 guests at Camp Lucy in Dripping Springs, Texas.

"We originally thought we would be married in Canada, a very special place for both of us, however, every venue we liked had difficulties," says Morgan, who stars on CW's Walker.
"We stumbled upon Camp Lucy by pure luck or fate and felt Canada was our past, but that Texas is our now and our future. It’s the home we’ve built for the last three years and we wanted a chance to bring all our friends and family to experience where we live now. Camp Lucy was just a breathtaking venue with everything we wanted, that ultimately, felt the most right."
The bride walked down the aisle in the Galaxy dress by Pronovias. "I was drawn to it because I love the celestial element to it, like our love was written in the stars," she says. "Also, I love how it doesn’t feel like a traditional wedding dress. Its stunning, simple and unique." She paired the gown with a bridal headpiece from the same designer, jewelry by Logan Hollowell and shoes by Aquazurra, Jimmy Choo and cowboy boots. Michael Kanyon and Think Brink Beauty styled her hair. Makeup was by Desirae Cherman.
Sipos, who stars in Outer Range, the science fiction neo-Western drama series on Amazon Prime with Josh Brolin, and his groomsmen were dressed by Matt of Savage Suiting.
For the couple's ceremony, Morgan wanted a very "natural, undone garden-wildflower" vibe and added in gold and silver glam elements with pops of black. Flowers by Whim Hospitality Florals helped bring her vision to life, while Whim Hospitality & Table Manners ATX provided the table rentals.
Following their emotional nuptials, the newlyweds made a memorable exit. "Shaun’s father gave him his 1967 black Camaro RS, that he drove away in when he married his mother. We decorated it as the exact replica, for our getaway car!" says Morgan.

The couple later joined guests at their reception for passed appetizers included smoked bacon wrap quail and dried figs with goat cheese and habanero honey and veggie tacos in a wonton shell. Posh Pour, a mobile cactus vodka tasting lounge, kept the drinks flowing all night.
A plated dinner of blood orange and pomegranate butter lettuce salad, heirloom tomatoes and burrata, grilled cedar plank salmon and chile pineapple braised short ribs with smashed crispy yukon potatoes and a roasted farmers market vegetable platter was served. For a late night snack, guests dined on an assortment of Tex Mex tacos.
After the pair enjoyed their first dance to "Please Forgive Me" by Bryan Adams, they cut into their multi-tiered lemon almond cake with mixed berry jam and buttercream frosting.
Each guest also took home a petit four of Camp Lucy’s famous Texas honey cake.
Long before they fell in love, Sipos and Morgan met through two different, mutual friends, "both of whom didn’t know one another but both thought (separately) we would be good together" says Sipos.
"I was hesitant at first because I really felt I was destined for singledom," says Morgan. "But once Shaun invited me to a kickboxing date (a hobby we both share in common) I couldn’t say no.
The couple got engaged in December 2020. Morgan announced the engagement on her Instagram with a photo of her and Sipos in front of a Christmas tree. “Thank you my love…for making me the happiest I’ve ever been, every damn day since I met you…and now for the rest of my life ?? no pressure.”
"He had given me a kitten a few days prior as an early Christmas gift and totally threw me off the scent," she recalls. "I was totally surprised!"
To cap off the couple's perfect weekend celebration they threw a farewell BBQ brunch for a proper Texas send off!
"This wedding is a dream come true," says the pair. "To get to spend your life with your best friend and build something beautiful together, to dream of having a family one day and then, to grow old together. This has the significance of all of that in one night."
