R&B star John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen have wed in Italy.

The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in Lake Como on Saturday (14Sep13) in front of family and close friends, including rapper Kanye West and model/actress Brooklyn Decker, who served as Teigen's maid of honor.



The bride walked down the aisle in a white Vera Wang dress and they celebrated the nuptials at a reception with hip-hop veteran Biz Markie as DJ, according to UsMagazine.com.


Legend previously revealed he was considering serenading his bride with a special performance at the wedding, although it is not yet known if he decided to step up to the mic.


Earlier this summer (13), he told Q magazine, "I'm getting married soon... The wedding won't be small but not too large, it's mostly family. I just have a big family. Am I playing? I'll probably do a song or two. Do I take requests? No, I'm not into wedding bands."


The singer, 34, began dating the Sports Illustrated beauty, 27, in 2007 and proposed during a festive vacation in the Maldives in 2011.
