Former *Ugly Betty* star America Ferrera marries in New York

Former Ugly Betty Star America Ferrera marries in New York

The former star of Ugly Betty, America Ferrera, has tied the knot in a glamorous New York wedding with her long-time boyfriend Ryan Piers Williams.

The ceremony, which took place on Monday, was held in the stunning home of her Ugly Betty co-star Vanessa Williams, Ferrera’s rep told Us magazine.

And it seems the actress is as popular with her fellow actors as she with her audience. She had a star-studded guest list, including her Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants co-stars Blake Lively and Amber Tamblyn, as well as her Ugly Betty co-star Rebecca Romijn and her husband Jerry O’Connell.

The loved-up pair, who first met at the University of Southern California where they were studying, became engaged in June 2010 after Ryan proposed to the 27-year-old actress with a four-carat round-cut diamond worth about $70,000.

It seems like the pair have been enjoying family life since they moved in together in 2007. Ferrera told W magazine that they refer to their golden retriever Buddy as “our baby”.
