Former Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Weiland is officially a married man!

The rocker said "I do" to photographer girlfriend Jamie Wachtel Saturday night at their Los Angeles home, according to People. "We had the most beautiful, heartfelt ceremony," Wachtel tells the mag.

The bride donned a vintage dress from Paper Bag Princess in Beverly Hills and the groom looked dapper in John Varvatos as they exchanged their Pade Vavra rings. 

In a statement to E! News, the bride said: "We were married last evening at our home in Los Angeles with close friends...it was a beautiful ceremony, very unique to us...everyone was in tears but smiling and laughing too...We have received such love and support from everyone—those close to us as well as fans of my husband...it's been amazing."

The Wildabouts rocker first met his now wife back in 2011 while filming music videos for his Christmas album. Scott told Billboard last year he knew when he met Jamie he'd be falling in love with her. 

While on the music video shoot, Jamie told him "to tuck in your belly a little bit." He laughs: "It was around the holidays–it was after Thanksgiving, and you know how that tends to be. I was kind of caught off guard, and I started laughing and she started laughing. And I don't know...something magical happened."

She then gave the rocker a ride home when he "just thought, 'I have a feeling that I am going to fall in love with this woman.'" 

Congrats to the happy couple!
