" Murphy said, "They went off, everybody was making the big wedding plans, and then they decided they wanted to do something quiet with just the two of them, " adding with a laugh that Lawrence would no longer have to pay for a "big wedding, " and concluding, "We’re in‑laws. " Murphy later said the pair "just had the two of them and the preacher" and suggested that a larger celebration could still happen: "They went off and they got married at the church. They just had the two of them and the preacher. They had a quiet little thing. So I think we'll have a big party or something. "
Photographs and video from the shower were credited to Jasmin Lawrence’s Instagram and to Willie Toledo in published images, and the couple reshared several posts from the event to their Instagram Stories to commemorate the occasion.
