Call her married!

"Call Me Maybe" singer Carly Rae Jepsen and six-time Grammy-winning music producer Cole M.G.N. (born Cole Marsden Greif-Neill) have officially tied the knot. The couple shared their happy news on Instagram on Friday alongside a whole carousel of photos from their big day.

"Husband. That feels good to say. ❤️ New York City ~Oct. 4th. Favourite day of my life," Jepsen captioned the post.

The newlyweds got married in front of 100 guests in the famed Bard Room at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City, according to *Vogue*. "We knew we wanted a location that meant something to us, and the Chelsea Hotel had become a home away from home every time we were in New York," Jepsen told the outlet of their venue. "As artists, its iconic history and lore made it that much more appealing. For planning, we had weekly dates to talk out all the details of the wedding. This way it was only ever fun and not too much at once." (The outlet notes that past inhabitants at the hotel include the likes of Mark Twain, Arthur Miller, Jimi Hendrix, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, and Madonna .)

Per *Vogue*, the proceedings also featured a famous cameo. Rufus Wainwright, a friend of Jepsen's, surprised the crowd with an a cappella version of Cohen's "Chelsea Hotel #2." "This felt like a once-in-a-lifetime New York moment," Jepsen said of the performance.**

Reflecting on their big day a few weeks later, the newlyweds said they are still thrilled with the way their big day turned out. "Often in life we'll imagine things, and even though the reality can be good, it's never quite *as good*," Jepsen said. "This day felt like the exception. It was better than either one of our wildest dreams. We felt connected through the whole thing, which was really important to us. In fact, we even had a few special songs planted in the DJ's setlist so that, no matter where we were at the moment, when we heard those songs, we would come find each other."

The couple first met and became friends in May 2021 during a songwriting session. They started dating officially in 2022, and got engaged in September 2024 during a month-long trip to Europe.
