The 'Superman Returns' actor marries his long-time girlfriend.

The Man of Steel is officially off the market! 'Superman Returns' star BRANDON ROUTH married longtime girlfriend, actress COURTNEY FORD, on Saturday at JON and MINDY PETERS' 3000-acre El Capitan Ranch, just outside of Santa Barbara, CA.

It was a very exclusive, intimate wedding. The 150 guests were made up of friends and family, as well as KATE BOSWORTH, Warner Bros. President and COO ALAN F. HORN and director BRYAN SINGER.

The groom was escorted down the aisle by his parents. He wore a cashmere three-piece suit, Sea Island cotton shirt, and satin tie by Looysen Fine Clothing. The bride glowed in a white JUNKO YOSHIOKA gown with Chantilly lace and intricate platinum beading, featuring a unique open back with a dramatic scallop-edged lace cowl. She was preceded down the aisle by three bridesmaids dressed in rose-red strapless gowns.

The couple wrote their own vows, which they recited, overlooking the ocean. Thousands of red roses decorated the outdoor ceremony, whose theme was country chic.

"The Insider"'s CHERYL WOODCOCK spoke to Mindy Peters, who revealed that she and Jon did about a $1 million ranch overhaul for Brandon's big day, including adding a man-made lake, rock walls and waterfalls, as well as fountains that will shoot water on cue when Routh gets the word, "You may now kiss the bride." There were also fireworks to mark the union.

California Governor ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER closed the airspace above the ranch to ensure the couple their privacy for the occasion.

A large white tent was erected for the reception, which continued the country chic theme with silk brown tablecloths, bamboo chairs, candles and red rose petals on each table. Even the six-tier vanilla cake had red roses on the top. The reception was catered by Frida of Beverly Hills. Routh showed his romantic side by serenading his bride. Another big hit of the night was a novely item -- the couple had a donut machine dispensing hot, delicious confections. 

Routh and Ford became engaged in August, 2006, and have been dating for more than four years. They met while Routh was bartending at the Lucky Strike Bowling Alley for a Ford family wedding reception, so, in honor of how they met, Routh and his groomsmen went bowling the night before the wedding.
