Gorgeous in a Monique Lhuillier dress, Stause, 36, a fan favorite for long-running roles on All My Children and Days of Our Lives, exchanged handwritten vows with Hartley, 40, who stars as Kevin Pearson in the hit NBC show.

On hand to celebrate the couple were the actor’s This is Us family, including cast mates Mandy Moore, Sterling K. Brown, Milo Ventimiglia, Chrissy Metz, Susan Kelechi Watson and Chris Sullivan.

After hitting it off on their first date four years ago, Hartley and Stause were immediately smitten. “We haven’t been apart since,” says Hartley, who proposed to the Kentucky native last summer.
