Matthew Morrison performed a hula dance at his wedding.
The ‘Glee’ actor tied the knot with his longterm girlfriend Renee Puentee in an intimate ceremony in Hawaii in front of just 50 close friends and family earlier this month and the pair made sure they stuck to some local customs.
He explained: "The coolest thing we did was a partners hula together. It’s tradition for a Hawaiian bride to dance hula for her husband so she did that. I never saw her do it before and it was amazing. And we kinda learned this hula together that we did after that. It was awesome."
The 35-year-old star admitted their big day was "perfect" but he couldn’t help but shed a tear as they exchanged their vows.
He said: "We both wrote our own vows. That was the moment I teared up, was when she was saying her vows to me. Both our vows were very us and filled with heartfelt sentiments but also some comedy."
Matthew stunned his new wife with an emotional musical performance at their wedding reception.
He told People magazine: "I sang a song as a surprise to her. It was ‘Top Of The World’ by The Carpenters, which was her mom’s favourite song. Her mom passed last year and we actually had the wedding on her mother’s birthday."
And while the singer-and-actor is blissfully happy with Renee, 31, they have no plans to start a family just yet.
He said: "I think we’re on a two-year plan. We want to enjoy this moment and enjoy being husband and wife by ourselves because once that happens, it’s kind of not about you any more."
