The notoriously private Issa Rae has only ever mentioned her long-time love Louis Diame a couple times over the years, so it came as a bit of a surprise on Monday morning when she shared photos from their wedding over the weekend.

That's right: Rae and Diame are officially married, having tied the knot at Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat, a commune in the South of France.

In a stunning series of photos posted to her Instagram – in which Rae hilariously masks the whole affair as some kind of impromptu coincidence – she shows off her custom Vera Wang wedding dress, his Dolce & Gabbana velvet suit, and her five bridesmaids in their matching pink dresses.

Rae, 36, captioned the carousel, "A) Impromptu photo shoot in a custom @verawang dress. B) My girls came to help me, but they all coincidentally had on the same dress! They were sooooo embarrassed. C) Then I took a few flicks with Somebody’s Husband. Big thanks to @whiteedenweddings for being so gracious and accommodating and making this feel so real and special."

That's about all the details we have so far, as is Rae's way. Her co-stars and famous friends all wished her love on Instagram, including Natasha Rothwell, Tracee Ellis Ross, Niecy Nash and Mindy Kaling.

Rumours of Rae being engaged only surfaced when she covered Essence Magazine's April 2019 issue and was sporting a massive diamond ring.

In March 2019 at the 2019 NAACP Image Awards, her Insecure co-stars Jay Ellis and Yvonne Orji confirmed the news on the red carpet.

While speaking to Vogue in 2018, Rae explained just why she's always kept her romantic life so quiet: "I don't want any input. As a writer, you put everything on the table. I'll take input on kids if I'm going to have kids. How do I not kill the kids? Work? Give me the input. Any other aspect of my life? Give me the input. But who I'm f------? No, I don't need input. I'm good."

Real good, in fact.
