Kristin Chenoweth Celebrates 'First Married Thanksgiving': 'So Much to Be Thankful For'

Kristin Chenoweth is celebrating all her “firsts” this holiday season — with her new husband by her side!

“First married thanksgiving!! So much to be thankful for. Love y’all!!” the Tony award-winning actress and singer wrote on Instagram on Thursday.

In a carousel of cozy snaps from her holiday in Arkansas, the 55-year-old star is shown seated in front of the fireplace next to her new husband Josh Bryant, where they kissed, smiled for the camera and gazed into one another’s eyes.

The “self-proclaimed bachelorette” married the Nashville-based musician, 41, in a romantic wedding ceremony in Dallas, on Sept. 2 

“I was never going to get married,” Chenoweth told PEOPLE in September. “I even got engaged before and couldn't do it. Until I met Josh. Then I was like, ‘Why would I ever let this guy go?’ I’m so blessed.”

The pair kicked off their weekend wedding festivities with a rehearsal dinner at Capital Grille and a Baskin-Robbins custom cake for dessert, before joining their 140 guests at a private residence for the ceremony.

The Broadway star didn’t want to wear white on her big day, and instead opted for a Pamella Roland gown with a sheer nude and pink overlay and a bow detail at the back.

“Simple and elegant,” she told PEOPLE at the time about the structured dress that featured tiny pearl flowers on the bodice. “I never thought I’d get married, so I went very non-traditional with the gown. I love it.”

The couple first connected in 2016 at a wedding for the Schmigadoon! star's niece, where Bryant's band Backroad Anthem performed. Two years later, Chenoweth's nephew tied the knot and Bryant’s band provided the musical entertainment again.

While Chenoweth wasn’t expecting to fall in love, their connection was undeniable, she told PEOPLE. 

“I guess it was the right time,” she said. “God knew what he was doing with that. Josh is 14 years younger than me, and I thought that was ridiculous. I'm never going to do that in my life, ever. But he's made me feel very confident and beautiful and loved at any age.”
