Washington DC: After exchanging rings earlier this year, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger have finally got hitched!

According to People, on Sunday, just hours after the couple tied the knot in an intimate California ceremony attended by close friends and family, they shared a romantic picture of the two walking hand-in-hand and gazing at each other on their big day.

In a heart touching show of unity, the newly married couple posted the same picture on Instagram -- alongside nearly identical message -- at the same time.

Katherine looked gorgeous in a white stunning wedding gown with a long trail while Patt looked dapper in blue formals.

"Yesterday was the best day of our lives! We became husband and wife in front of God, our families and those we love. It was intimate, moving and emotional. We feel so blessed to begin this new chapter of our lives. We are so thankful to our families and our friends who stood with us and grateful to Mr Giorgio Armani who created a once in a lifetime dress for Katherine to wear and for me, the perfect suit. This morning we feel nothing but blessed," they wrote.
