Jason Priestley Says, "I Do"

90210 alum swaps vows with makeup artist gal-pal

Looks like eternal high-schooler Brandon Walsh is all growed up.

Beverly High alum Jason Priestley, 29, has tied the knot with gal-pal Ashlee Peterson, a 29-year-old makeup artist.

The couple did the deed February 2 on a boat in Miami, with the ship's captain officiating, according to USA Today. No word on who attended the ceremony.

The nuptials come after a year and a half of dating.

Priestley, whose Beverly Hills, 90210 alter ego once left Kellie Taylor (Jennie Garth) at the altar, has never been hitched, although he spent several years cohabitating with onetime costar Christine Elise.

It's the first marriage for Peterson, too, but she does have a 5-year-old son from a previous relationship.

Priestley's good guy Brandon Walsh was a 90210 fixture for more than eight seasons, finally leaving last September to pursue other acting and directing gigs. He recently costarred in Love and Death on Long Island and directed a Barenaked Ladies video.

Of course, if those endeavors don't turn out (see: Luke Perry), Priestley can always head back to Beverly--Fox announced Tuesday that it's picking up the prime-time soap for a 10th season.

The move is a surprise, considering creator Aaron Spelling said last year that he'd probably pull the plug on 90210 after this season, in part because Priestley and other key characters were leaving--not to mention the remaining cast is rapidly approaching middle age. (At least Tori will be gainfully employed, though.)

Spelling and Fox announced last month that 90210 spinoff Melrose Place would call it quits after this season.
