Kylie MorganandJay Allenare married — finally.

After having topostpone their October wedding due to Hurricane Ian, the country singer-songwriters tied the knot on Sunday, Nov. 27 in front of a group of 85 close family and friends atLa Casa Toscanain Fort Myers, Florida.

“With our busy schedules and hectic lifestyles, there was honestly never an ideal moment to say, ‘I do,'” explains Morgan, 27, of her wedding to 36-year-old Allen during an exclusive interview with PEOPLE. “I took one week off the [Tyler Rich] tour to travel to Southwest Florida to get married and a few days later, I have to be right back in Seattle.”

The day didn’t go off without a hitch though — the couplerevealed Mondaythat they had forgotten their marriage license. “Fun fact: Yesterday was our wedding day … but we’re actually not married yet, because we forgot to get our license! We’re gonna go get married now.” (PEOPLE has confirmed they’ve since made it official legally.)

Nevertheless, it was certainly worth the wait for this couple, who first met over seven years ago at a songwriter’s mixer in Nashville.

Morgan and Allen’s love story was beautifully symbolized via an upside-down triangle which became a consistent feature throughout the design of the wedding and reception, as it is nearly an equal 700 miles between Morgan’s hometown in Oklahoma, Allen’s hometown in Iowa, and the couple’s beloved home in Nashville, Tennessee.

While the two have long found themselves in the spotlight while chasing their music dreams, Allen and Morgan did know that they wanted to enjoy one special moment together before their wedding.

“We envisioned an edgy evening filled with non-stop celebration where we just happened to say, ‘I do’ in front of our closest family and friends,” says Morgan of her wedding to Allen, who made major waves recently while competing onThe Voice.

Morgan also told PEOPLE about her upcoming name change — and how Allen will be making a tweak to his own, as well.

She continues, “My middle name is actually Morgan and Jay’s is Allen. So I said, ‘Well, I want to take the name people know you as. How about you change your last name to Allen?’ He said, ‘Well, then I won’t have a middle name.’ I replied with, ‘If you change your name to Jay Morgan Allen, I will change mine and be Kylie Morgan Allen.’ How I knew I was making the right decision? He did it without hesitation. Now we get to start our own legacy together as Jay Morgan Allen & Kylie Morgan Allen.”

And while their busy schedules won’t allow for the two to embark on a honeymoon right now, the two say they look forward to taking a trip to Belize over the New Year, and then heading to Bali in early 2023.

“Missing one another and being separated only makes our time together even more cherished,” concludes Morgan. “I truly believe we are just as strong apart as we are together.”

Allen will release his latest single, “No Present Like the Time,” on Friday, while Morgan’s recent EPsP.S.andSongs to Say I Doare available now.
