Claws'star Niecy Nash announced she'd married her wife Jessica Betts in the best way -- by sharing their celebratory wedding photo on Twitter.

The actress, who starred in Reno 911, Scream Queens, and recently, Mrs. America, wrote on Twitter and Instagram that she is "Mrs. Carol Denise Betts" with the hashtag "Love Wins," which was used widely on the day marriage equality became the law of the land in 2015.

Sharing their wedding photo on Instagram, Betts wrote, "I got a whole wife."

In an Instagram story, Nash posted a more casual photo of her with Betts, a singer, with #PlotTwist and a rainbow flag on the picture.

An older post on Betts's Instagram page features her playing guitar at Nash's last wedding while Nash sings a song called "Catch Me." In the caption for that post Betts honored her then long-time friend by referring to her as "this woman of God."
