Lost star Emilie de Ravin has found herself a husband.

The actress tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Josh Janowicz on June 19 in Melbourne, Australia, her publicist confirmed. The duo had been engaged since Jan. 1, 2005.

De Ravin, who plays single mother Claire Littleton on the hit ABC show, wore a lacy scoop-necked Monique Lhuillier gown down the aisle, while Janowicz opted for Hugo Boss.

The newlyweds, both 24, met in 2000, after they both moved to Los Angeles to pursue their acting careers and found themselves bonding over their mutual homesickness. De Ravin left her native Australia at 18 after landing a role on the WB's Roswell, while Janowicz moved to Hollywood by way of Mukwonago, Wisconsin.

De Ravin, who appears in full bridal regalia on the cover of the summer edition of In Style Weddings, told the magazine that she never expected to find love in Los Angeles, of all places.

"I never thought I would meet anyone in L.A.--it's such a crazy place that you don't think of it the way you think of, say, Paris, the city of love," she said.

Unlike the majority of her Lost cast mates, de Ravin chose not to move to Hawaii where the show is filmed, but instead commutes from Los Angeles, where she owns a home with Janowicz.

"I like to come home from the Lost set whenever I can, because I'd rather be back in my life and have downtime than pretend I'm on holiday," she told In Style Weddings.

In addition to her role on the island series, de Ravin recently starred in the remake of the horror film The Hills Have Eyes, as well as the indie thriller Brick, which won the Sundance Film Festival's Jury Prize for Originality of Vision.

Janowicz's credits include Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle and The Chumscrubber, as well as a starring role in the indie film December Ends, which won Best Picture at the Method Fest Film Festival.

Despite the demands of their careers, de Ravin told In Style Weddings that both she and Janowicz are careful to put their relationship first.

"Our life together always comes before work," she said. "You can't buy love or family."
