A huge congrats.

Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist and Chris Wood have reportedly tied the knot.

The couple, who announced their engagement in February, are said to have wed at a private estate in Ojai, California.

A source told E!

“It was a beautiful setting for a wedding very peaceful and quiet.

“The vows were brief and lasted about 15 minutes. There was lots of cheering and applause as it ended.”

The insider said that the reception which followed the ceremony was held in a grove of trees nearby, with long tables set up for all of the guests.

They continued:

“There were lots of glowing candles and lights strung above. The food was served family style and everyone passed the dishes back and forth.

“It looked like an elegant outdoor dinner party. There was a lot of laughter and happiness.”

The news of the couple’s wedding comes almost seven months after they first announced their engagement.

Benoist, who plays the title character on the CW’s Supergirl, took to Instagram to share a photo of the two of them in front of a fireplace. It also showed off her stunning engagement ring, which was designed by Jennifer Meyer.

She captioned the photo: “Yes, yes, yes – it will always be yes.”

The former Vampire Diaries star shared the same image on his own Instagram account, simply captioning it “the happiest.”

He followed that up with a throwback shot of the two of them dressed to the nines, grinning as they stood against a backdrop of fall leaves.

The couple first met on the set of the CW’s Supergirl, where Benoist has played Kara Zor‑El (aka: the title character) since 2015.

Wood joined the series as Mon-El, her on-screen love interest , in 2016.

According to E! News, the pari first sparked rumours of a romance when they were spotted on holiday in Cancun in March 2017.

Benoist was previously married to her Glee co-star, Blake Jenner. The pair wed in 2013, before the actress filed for divorce in late 2016, citing irreconcilable differences.

Their divorce was finalised in December 2017.
