The Originals' Joseph Morgan Marries Co-Star Persia White!

Joseph Morgan is a married man!

The 33-year-old Originals star wed Persia White in an intimate ceremony on Saturday (July 5) in Ocho Rios, Jamaica, his rep confirms to JustJared.com.

“It had a very rustic feel to it,” Persia told the mag about the nuptials. “There was nothing about it that was overwhelming or very huge or fabulous in that way. We tried to keep everything really intimate and beautiful and sort of going along with nature.”

Persia got dolled up in a gorgeous Vera Wang gown, while Joseph donned a Miguel Wilson tux.

“It was mostly family, a handful of close friends,” Joseph told the mag about the 26 guests in attendance. “My best man was my best friend of almost 20 years, Matt Ryan. He actually plays John Constantine on the new NBC show Constantine, but we’ve been friends since we were teenagers.”

The couple’s first dance was to Florence + the Machine‘s “Never Let Me Go,” and later jetted off to Negril for their exotic honeymoon.

So what’s next for the couple? Kids! “Little cute mini Josephs!” Persia said. Aw!

Joseph and Persia met on set of The Vampire Diaries during the third season. They got engaged in May of this year. Congrats to the newlyweds!!!

FYI: People was first to report the news.

'The Originals' Cast Attends PaleyFest Panel After Claire Holt's Shocking Exit!

Joseph Morgan, Claire Holt, and Daniel Gillies hit the carpet at the PaleyFest panel for their show The Originals on Saturday evening (March 22) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

They were joined at the event by co-stars Phoebe Tonkin, Charles Michael Davis, Leah Pipes, and Danielle Campbell, as well as show creator Julie Plec, Daniel‘s wife Rachael Leigh Cook, and Joseph‘s girlfriend Persia White.

The panel comes just a week and a half after Claire‘s shocking exit from the series.

“It’s ludicrous,” Claire recently shared with Buzzfeed about the made up reports of why she exited the show. “I want to be very clear that they didn’t run out of material, I wasn’t pushed out, I wasn’t fed up with Rebekah, I didn’t quit mid-season, there was no drama, there was no rift between cast members; it really came down to the fact that I completed my initial commitment and made a life choice, not a career choice.”

Claire continued, “This show has been so amazing for my career, and I’ve had such unbelievable material, it was just never my intention to be away from home this long. It was a tough choice that I didn’t fully make it right up until the end, because I was enjoying myself so much. But three seasons later, I realized I hadn’t been home to Australia in years, I hadn’t seen my family, and I hadn’t spent time with the people I loved…but I want to make it so clear that this show has such a special place in my heart. I am so glad I was able to do The Originals, and I want to be a part of that family for a long time. I am simply looking at this as a temporary absence.”

FYI: Phoebe is wearing a Camilla and Marc dress, Saint Laurent shoes, and JewelMint jewelry. Danielle is wearing a Sachin + Babi shirt, a Zara skirt, and alice + olivia shoes. Leah is wearing alice + olivia pants, a Mason top, Helmut Lang jacket, and Saint Laurent shoes.
