Katherine Heigl is officially off the market.

The 29-year-old "Grey's Anatomy" star will be celebrating Christmas as a married woman in the arms of her new husband musician Josh Kelley. The couple wed yesterday in a black-tie ceremony at a ski resort near Park City, Utah.

According to news reports, the sunset ceremony took place under a giant white tent in front of family members and several of Heigl's "Grey's" costars, including Sandra Oh, Kate Walsh, and T.R. Knight.

Heigl reportedly walked down the aisle to an acoustic song written by Kelley and performed by a cello and guitar players. The bridesmaids wore red while Heigl donned a white dress and the 3-carat, pear-shaped diamond ring flanked by pave diamonds that Kelley gave her when he popped the question in June 2006.

According to guests, a reception followed in a heated white tent, lit by white candles and decorated with large white drapes. The tables sat on a white carpet and were accompanied by silver chairs covered with white cushions. A walkway from the wedding tent to the reception tent was also lined with white candles, which illuminated the snow that fell while the couple exchanged vows they had written themselves.

Sunday's ceremony capped off a weekend of pre-wedding events including an intimate bridal shower given to Heigl by 15 of her closest friends. Saturday night friends and family members joined the couple for a rehearsal dinner followed by singing and dancing.

Heigl met Kelley when she appeared in the music video for his song "Only You" back in 2005. A year later Kelley proposed to the woman he says he "couldn't imagine living without."

Next up for the couple? The actress recently told TV's "Extra" she can't wait to start a family... a large family.

Prior to the wedding Heigl told "Entertainment Tonight" that her costar and good pal T.R. Knight would be included in the wedding party as a bridesmaid. No word on whether he came in red or appeared as a groomsman instead.
