Jessica Simpson has married former NFL star Eric Johnson in front of 250 guests at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California.

The 33-year-old star tied the knot with the former NFL player, and the couple were "overwhelmed with complete happiness" on their special day.

They said in a statement to People.com: "We are overwhelmed with complete happiness and love having made our eternal commitment.

"To say 'I do' in front of family, friends and, most importantly, our children has been the happiest moment of our lives."

Simpson was said to be wearing a Carolina Herrera gown as she and Eric exchanged vows in front of more than 250 guests.

The couple were delighted to celebrate the occasion with their two kids - the couple's 12-month-old son Ace was a ring bearer, while their daughter Maxwell, two, was a flower girl.

The couple also invited their fellow stars to the ceremony, with the likes of Jessica Alba and Topher Grace among the celebrity guests attending the celebrations.

Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that Simpson sent a strict email to her guests, instructing them not to bring any cell phones or cameras to the wedding, as they have inked a lucrative deal with a magazine to publish the photographs.
