The couple flew to Utah with their parents and close friends for the big day. The location in itself was kinda remote due to the fact that there was no mobile service. A friend of the newlyweds told PageSix,
“They deliberately picked a place where there will be no cell service and no one around them talking about politics. No setup, no altar, just in front of rocks.”
Tony and Katy wrote their own vows. After their marriage, they also spent a few days in Utah and visited Zion National Park and the Grand Canyon.
