Jenner choseEd Sheeran’s “Perfect” for the first dance, and just after the song was complete, fireworks went off as a surprise from a friend to the newlyweds.
Friends and family made speeches toasting the couple — Jenner’s mom Linda read a poem — before the party really started. At 10 p.m., guests headed up to a friend’s villa, where the party went strong into the wee hours. “It was nonstop dancing until 4 a.m.,” says Carter of the afterparty, complete with a DJ and sushi. “It was a really fun night.”
