The couple exchanged vows on Saturday afternoon...
Jessica Simpson is officially a married woman! The singer tied the knot with her longtime fiancé, former NFL football player Eric Johnson, on Saturday afternoon at the San Ysidro Ranch in Santa Barbara, California. The newlyweds gave their first official statement to People magazine after saying "I do" in front of 250 of their closest family and friends.
"We are overwhelmed with complete happiness and love having made our eternal commitment," Jessica and Eric told People in a statement. "To say 'I do' in front of family, friends and, most importantly, our children has been the happiest moment of our lives."

The magazine reports that the couple's young children, one-year-old Ace and two-year-old Maxwell, served as the ring bearer and flower girl in the wedding, respectively. Jessica's nephew Bronx, who is the son of her sister Ashlee, accompanied Maxwell down the aisle. Ashlee and her fiancé Evan Ross, as well as other celeb guest such as Ken Paves, Jessica Alba, Cash Warren, CaCee Cobb and Donald Fiason, were all in attendance for Jessica and Eric's big day, the magazine reports.
Jessica reportedly wore a custom-designed Carolina Herrera gown for the wedding. Although no photos of Jess in her dress are available yet, it is said to be very different from the traditional ball gown she wore when she married her first husband, Nick Lachey, in 2002.
This wedding has been a long time coming for Jessica and Eric. The couple became engaged in November 2010 but had to put the nuptials on hold—twice!—due to Jessica becoming pregnant.
"We've had two different wedding dates, but he keeps knocking me up," she said during an appearance on The Tonight Show in 2013. "We're doing it very backwards!"
