Um, it must be Celebrity Wedding Week because not only did Carrie Underwood & Mike Fisher, Emily Blunt & John Krasinski and Martin Lawrence (to his longtime girlfriend Shamicka Gibbs) get hitched in the past few days but so too did Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem! Yes, folks, word broke last night that the couple were married earlier this month in a private (and secret, apparently) ceremony in the Bahamas. They got hitched, y’all!

Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem have always kept their romance under the radar – and their intimate wedding was equally low-profile. Cruz, 36, and Javier Bardem, 41, exchanged vows in front of family members during a small, private ceremony held at a friend’s home in the Bahamas earlier this month, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. The bride wore a gown designed by designer John Galliano, a longtime friend of the actress … The couple first met while filming Jamon, Jamon in 1992, one of Cruz’s first films.

Awww, congrats!! This couple is normally very private about their affairs, I’m not surprised in the least that they snuck off to tie the knot. I really like them together and think they make the perfect Hispanic couple. The fact that they are both Academy Award winners only makes their union all the more apt. When I first heard that the couple went and got hitched my surprise was overshadowed by my happiness for the two of them. Let’s send our warmest congrats to the happy couple. Woot!
