The couple tied the knot over the festive period after 10 years together on and off and an insider has now revealed just why they decided to get hitched.
A source told People magazine: "They don't have doubts about their relationship. They both wanted to get married. They have both matured a lot, and it seemed like the perfect time for them to get married."
Miley was determined to create a "charming" atmosphere on her wedding day, which took place in Franklin, Tennessee, on December 23.
Sunny Becks, the owner of Vroom Vroom Balloon, the newlywed's vendor, explained: "She wanted something very pastel and sweet. She was doing something different than her typical, really bright-coloured way of doing things. She had a really specific vision of something very charming. They were amazing to work with."
Miley confirmed her marriage to Liam by sharing a string of black and white photos from their nuptials, a decade after they first met while shooting 'The Last Song'.
In one set of pictures of the pair embracing, Miley captioned the Instagram post: "12.23.18"
And alongside another, she wrote: "10 years later .....(sic)"
A third post featured the couple sharing a kiss and MIley wrote: "This is probably our one - millionth kiss. (sic)"
Liam shared the same kissing photo, which he captioned: "My love [heart emoji]. (sic)"
The couple had reportedly planned to wed over the festive season at their Malibu home, but after it was destroyed by the California wildfires, they shifted their celebrations to Tennessee.
A source recently said: "They always wanted a small, private celebration with family and close friends and that's what they got. Miley seems ecstatic. She loves her Tennessee home and was very happy about having the ceremony there."
