Mark Wahlberg has become a member of the married bunch.  

The star of the upcoming Lovely Bones made an honest woman of the mother of his three children Saturday, as he and his longtime love Rhea Durham swapped vows at Good Shephard Catholic Church in Beverly Hills. 

The bride donned a Marchesa dress and Neil Lane jewelry, according to Us Weekly magazine. The wedding was small, with around 20 guests in attendance to witness the couple's nuptials.

The Wahlbergs may have kept the proceedings quiet, but Mark actually spilled the beans last October when he said during a Max Payne presser that he and Durham were planning to tie the knot the following August.

 

Their youngest son, Brendan Joseph, will celebrate his first birthday next month. His brother, Michael, is 3 and sister Ella is almost 6. 

But though it's a big step in any man's life, especially one who used to model underwear and hang with an entourage, Wahlberg doesn't think marriage will change him too much.   

"It's like we're married anyway," he told InTouch Weekly of his relationship with Durham, "but I finally feel like we're ready to take the step and we'll have success."
