Looks like Owen Wilson isn't the only one good at keeping joyous events under the radar.

R&B singer Monica and her L.A. Laker man Shannon Brown have quietly tied the knot.

And when we say quietly, we do mean quietly…

The happy couple became husband and wife during a secret ceremony in Los Angeles on Nov. 22 of last year.

"This is a very special time in my life. I am blessed to have married the man that God sent me," Monica just told HipHollywood.com.  "He's loving, compassionate, strong and supportive of my children, family and career. I look forward to our lives together."

The nuptials occurred a little more than a month after the "Love All Over Me" songbird announced her engagement to Brown in October by tweeting a picture of a huge diamond ring on her finger.

The newlyweds will reportedly hold an "official" ceremony and reception sometime this summer to share their union with friends and loved ones.
