Kayla Ewell is a married woman. "The Vampire Diaries" actress and her longtime boyfriend Tanner Novlan tied the knot during a ceremony at the Jonathan Club in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday, People reported.
The couple exchanged vows in front of 200 guests, including several members from the "Vampire Diaries" cast. Michael Trevino, Zach Roerig and Sara Canning were all in attendance, and her former co-star Candice Accola, who is expecting her first child with husband Joe King, served as one of her bridesmaids. Actress Nina Dobrev also attended the wedding with boyfriend Austin Stowell.
"I was in [Accola's] wedding. When you go through that with someone, you have a bond with them afterwards that is unlike any other feeling," Ewell said, according to People. "I have two pregnant bridesmaids. The dress is an empire waist, which is perfect so their little baby bumps can show."
"They're really special," Ewell of said about her "Vampire Diaries" family. "It's been really fun, and it means a lot that they're all coming."

Ewell, who played Vicki Donovan, wore a Monique Lhuillier dress, while the groom wore a Theory tux. The couple's wedding was planned by Wish Wonder Dream's Michael T. Vega, photographed by Gabe McClintock Photography and officiated by the bride's uncle. The bride was walked down the aisle by her father Darrell Ewell.
The newlyweds met five years ago on the set of a music video for the Sick Puppies' song "Maybe." The two got engaged over the Christmas and New Year's holidays while enjoying a private sailboat ride in Santa Monica, Calif.
"Kayla is a tough one to surprise," Novlan told People. "I told the captain over the phone, 'We have to do it right away because the nerves are going!' He said, 'Why don't I take a picture of you in front of the sunset?' so she went up and I got my sweater which had the ring in it."
Novlan is an actor who has appeared on "Parenthood" and "Rizzoli & Isles."
