The couple announced their engagement in February of last year. Since then Harrison has joked about Deanna's elaborate wedding plans which, he claimed in an interview with People, were entirely down to him.

Harrison commented, earlier this year, on the complications of wedding planning: "I just had no idea there was so much involved. I just thought you got a cake, had a party, buy a keg."

All seemed to have gone smoothly, despite Harrison's concerns, as the 180 guests were entertained after the ceremony with music by the glam rock band Steel Panther. The ceremony and celebrations took place at Laguna Beach in California.

The couple should really not have been worried, as Harrison and Burditt have both been married three times before. Harrison quipped to the Las Vegas Sun "the third time is the charm".

The 48-year-old is the head honcho on Pawn Stars which follows the employees of a Las Vegas pawn shop. The World Famous Gold and Silver Pawn Shop has become one of the city's biggest tourist attractions, owing to its popularity on The History Channel. Harrison's co-stars joined him for the occasion with Austin "Chumlee" Russell acting as the ring-bearer.

Pawn Stars has been airing on The History Channel since 2009, it is the highest rated show on the network and the second highest rated reality show on cable.
