Vanessa Minnillo and Nick Lachey were married Friday evening in a tropical island ceremony at Necker Island in front of just 35 friends and family.
The event took place on a cliff overlooking the sea at Necker Island, a small island in the British Virgin Islands just north of Virgin Gorda, on the Caribbean Islands. All of the land on the island is owned by Sir Richard Branson. Both of them got there last Thursday with a private jet ride.
Their marriage was recorded on camera and will be aired in a special issue of the marriage ceremony TLC. "This is only temporary and for special reasons," said Lachey who have been involved in a reality show with ex-wife, Jessica Simpson.

"For us, this is just a stepping stone to do what we ultimately want and that’s to start a family together," Minnillo told PEOPLE.
Vanessa Joy Minnillo was born November 9, 1980 at Clark Air Base in Angeles City, Pampanga, Philippines to Helen Berecero, a native of Leyte, and Vince Minnillo, who's of Irish/Italian American descent, was a member of the U.S. Air Force.
After meeting Nick Lachey and starring in his music video "What's Left Of Me", the pair dated for nearly three years. Minnillo's publicist confirmed the couple's split in June 2009. In the fall of 2009 it was announced they had reconciled. The pair, who became engaged in November 2010, flew their wedding guests to the secret location as a surprise
"Nobody knew where they were going," says Minnillo, 30.
Adds Lachey, "Our wedding invitations were in the form of a plane ticket. We told them they were going away and the attire was ‘island chic.’ It was all very vague."
Minnillo, the new host of Wipeout, donned a two-piece Monique Lhuillier ensemble featuring an intricately embellished lace corset with rose and crystal detail, paired with a signature hand tufted skirt made of silk faille.
The look was completed with a tailored bow belt at her waist and chapel length tulle veil.
