I had the hots for Michael Vartan so bad when he was on Alias.  I loved that show and he was at least half the reason why.  Jennifer Garner was of course fab too!

Well, Michael is officially off the market now.  He married his gorgeous girlfriend, Lauren Skaar whom he met in a Whole Foods parking lot.  I think that is so sweet and romantic!

The 24th Annual Genesis Awards

They tied the knot at The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, California yesterday (April 2.)

“My family was thrilled,” Vartan tells PEOPLE. “They love Lauren and could not be happier. Now all my mother talks about is grandchildren.”

Oh we would love to see these babies!  They are going to be knockouts at birth!

Lauren added,

“Our families both took an immediate liking to our partners and knew probably before we did that this was serious and going somewhere.”

Congrats to the happy couple!
