As detailed with exclusive photos in People, the couple (who got engaged at the 2022 GLAAD awards) got married on Saturday, November 4 in Palm Springs, California.
They didn't realise when they had booked it that it would collide with Pride weekend in the area, but decided to stick with it and make it "a big gay wedding", especially since a lots of their guests were queer.
The celebrations actually kicked off on Friday with a Hawaiian-themed party, while the nuptials on the Saturday included readings from Shakespeare and various romantic comedies, drag performers (organised by Drag Race season 1's Ongina), and nods to both grooms' cultures.
Attendees included fellow Superstore actors Ben Feldman, Colton Dunn, Nichole Sakura, Jon Barinholtz, Kaliko Kauahi, Irene White, and Lauren Ash (who did double-duty as the party planner), as well as creator Justin Spitzer. Survivor's Hannah Shapiro and Bret LaBelle also attended.

"For us, we've been together for almost six years. We own a home together, have a joint bank account. We're each other's emergency contacts. By all sorts of usual metrics we are married," Smith said.
"The wedding has made us grow as a couple," he added. "And in any growth situation, there are going to be speed bumps and it's going to be hard. But it has really kind of forged us to the next level of intimacy and trust. All that matters is you, me, I do's and forever."
Santos said: "Weddings and getting married, I never thought this would be part of my life."
