Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo married Friday on an undisclosed tropical island.
The wedding was in the evening on the island's time -- the 35 guests were flown there as a surprise for the intimate ceremony.
"Nobody knew where they were going," Minnillo, 30, told People. "For us, this is just a stepping stone to do what we ultimately want, and that’s to start a family together."
Said 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."
Except for a brief breakup in 2009, the two had been dating since 2006. They became engaged in November.
