Milla Jovovich and Paul Anderson have been practically inseparable since they met on the set of the zombie flick “Resident Evil,” but it wasn’t until this Saturday night that they finally tied the knot, Us Magazine informs. 20-month-old daughter Ever acted as flower girl in the intimate ceremony that lasted no more than 20 minutes at the stars’ home in Beverly Hills.

“Milla Jovovich wed Paul Anderson at their Beverly Hills home Saturday night, Us Magazine has confirmed. Guests, including Patrick Dempsey, began arriving at 4:30 p.m. to the sound of Spanish flamenco music. The 20-minute ceremony began at 5:30 p.m. Jovovich donned a veil that covered her face, and a long, white sleeveless dress. Her hair was down and wavy, decorated with red flowers. Anderson wore a beige suit.” the aforementioned publication says.

Photos of the ceremony have already begun to surface in the online media, showing the blushing bride in a sixties-inspired wedding gown that she reportedly designed herself, complete with a Greek goddess type of golden headband. The groom, as also noted above, wore beige. The flower girl, daughter Ever, wore a ballerina tutu, Us further says. After the bride and groom exchanged vows, the guests cheered three times to celebrate their union.

This is Milla’s third marriage, which is perhaps why she waited this long to make sure she was making the right choice, it is being said. In 1992, she wed “Dazed and Confused” co-star Shawn Andrews: the actress was only 16 at the time and the marriage was annulled two months later. In 1998, Jovovich exchanged vows with “The Fifth Element” director, Luc Besson, whom she divorced in 1999. In 2002, as noted, she met and fell in love with Anderson while working on “Resident Evil.”

Speaking of which, Us Magazine also points out that Milla Jovovich is to return to the franchise next month, when shooting for “Resident Evil 4” is scheduled to begin.
