'Ugly Betty' star America Ferrera has married her long-time boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams in a private ceremony last night.

The Emmy-winning actress America Ferrera, 27, married Ryan Piers last night. Her spokesperson told People magazine that the couple got married in an intimate setting amongst close friends and family.

The bride wore a dress by Amsale's Christos label and Fred Leighton earrings, the spokesperson said.

Among those present were the actress' former Ugly Betty costars Vanessa Williams, Rebecca Romijn, her husband Jerry O'Connell and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants's Blake Lively.

The couple first met at the University of Southern California, became engaged in June 2010, and has been living together in Los Angeles with their golden retriever called Buddy.

We kind of connected from the get-go on that professional level and that was something that really drew us to each other, a shared passion for what we do and our work. Ferrera told PEOPLE after her engagement.
