Dexter star Julie Benz marries

Los Angeles - Julie Benz has got married.

The Dexter actress tied the knot with marketing executive Rich Orosco at the historic John Sowden house in the Los Feliz neighbourhood of Los Angeles on Saturday. 

The ceremony honoured the groom's Mexican heritage by taking place on the country's Cinco de May (May 5) holiday, and a number of the couple's family and friends were in attendance.

Mexican fiesta

Julie and Rich's nuptials come after the 39-year-old hunk proposed last June with a Kwiat cushion-cut diamond ring, and the actress - who appeared in Dexter from 2006 to 2010 - described the proposal as "absolutely perfect". 

The pair enjoyed a "pop-up Mexican fiesta" engagement party arranged by Rich last June for 60 of the couple's friends and family - and Julie later admitted she was shocked that none of her pals had accidentally spoiled the surprise. 

Following the party, she said: "I can't believe that none of my friends leaked the surprise. It was like a Navy Seal operation."

Julie - who appeared in 2008 movie Rambo - previously married to actor John Kassir in May 1998, but she filed for divorce in December 2007.
