Holly Valance and billionaire Nick Candy have married in Los Angeles.

The former 'Neighbours' star and the property developer flew in guests from Australia and the UK for the nuptials - attended by Simon Cowell - at a private estate in California yesterday (29.09.12).

Holly wore a meringue-style wedding dress with a bodice top and carried a dark red bouquet, while Nick donned a tuxedo for the event.

Guests were taken to the wedding in blacked-out mini-buses.

The ceremony is only one part of a three-day weekend planned by the couple, which began on Friday (28.09.12) with a dinner party in Beverly Hills, and concludes today (30.09.12) with a barbecue.

Holly may be letting herself enjoy the food at the three-day ceremony as she was previously on a strict diet to stay in shape for the big day.

A source said: ''She keeps pictures of her dream wedding dress around in case she's wavering. She hates not being able to enjoy herself at posh restaurants with Nick and she's treated herself a couple of times but she's doing really well.

''Holly is a self-confessed food addict and will always struggle but she's hoping to maintain it.''
