Perfume Genius might be aiming for Glory with his upcoming European tour, but right now, the only splendor he’s basking in is that of his new marriage.

In a post to his Instagram on Wednesday (Sept. 17), Mike Hadreas announced that he and his longtime partner, Alan Wyffels, had tied the knot in an intimate ceremony. Through a carousel of photos posted to the app, Hadreas and Wyffels can be seen saying “I do” at a Los Angeles County Clerk’s office, complete with a makeshift wedding arch and boutonnieres on their suits.

Hadreas and Wyffels have been together since 2009, and the two have regularly worked together on Perfume Genuis songs. Wyffels co-wrote and played multiple instruments — including piano, flute, synthesizer and more — on songs from Perfume Genius’ last five albums, including Too Bright, Set My Heart on Fire Immediately and Ugly Season.

Fans of Perfume Genius will also recognize Wyffels as the direct inspiration behind the singer’s 2017 song “Alan” off his critically lauded album No Shape, which he wrote as a loving tribute to his partner. “Thought I’d hide/ Maybe leave something secret behind/ Never thought I’d sing outside,” Hadreas sings on the moving track. “You need me/ Rest easy/ I’m here/ How weird.”

The news comes just ahead of Perfume Genius’ upcoming fall tour across Europe in support of his new album, Glory. Kicking off in Paris on Oct. 30, the dates will see Hadreas perform in cities including Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam and London, before he closes out his tour with five dates in Australia.
