Michael Vartan wed Lauren Skaar after telling HollywoodLife.com exclusively why he’s head over heels about her! Read on to see what he promised his new wife!

Michael Vartan, co-star of HawthoRNe on TNT,  tied the knot over the weekend with real-estate agent Lauren Skaar — after gushing to us almost a year ago about how deeply in love he is!

“She’s my best friend in the world and that’s why I asked her to marry me,” Michael — who counts onetime Alias co-star Jennifer Garner as an ex — confided at the America Red Cross gala in Santa Monica, Calif. last April. “I have more fun with her than with anyone I’ve ever met. I just woke up one day and could not imagine living without her.”

But Michael, 42, wasn’t nearly finished being adorable about his lady love — he went on to tell us how he knew the woman he met in a Whole Foods parking lot in LA is “the one.”

“As you get older you know what you want and what you don’t want. I didn’t tell her she was the one, but I knew pretty quickly. The great thing about her and me is that I feel like I can be 100 percent myself.”

Michael’s rep confirmed to Us Weekly that Lauren arranged her dream wedding. About 150 family members and friends attended an elegant affair at the Pelican Hill Resort overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Newport Beach, Calif., on April 3, according to RadarOnline.

Michael told us they are on the way to a dream life, which includes a family — because he’s ready for kids: “Absolutely, down the road. Engagement, marriage, then kids.”

Best wishes to this beautiful couple!

The Hawthorne star dishes wedding details to HollywoodLife.com – and why he fell in love with his wife-to-be. Trust us, you’ll be getting out the hankies!

Michael Vartan is so in love with fiancée Lauren Sklar that he’s practically shouting it from the rooftops. After hearing the Hawthorne star gush about his upcoming nuptials and what made him fall in love with his lady, WE wanted to be in love, too!

“She’s my best friend in the world and that’s why I asked her to marry me,” the 41-year-old actor (and Jennifer Garner ex) confided at the America Red Cross gala in Santa Monica, Calif. April 17. “I have more fun with her than with anyone I’ve ever met. I just woke up one day and could not imagine living without her.”

But wait – Michael wasn’t nearly finished being adorable about his lady love. He continued to say how he knew girlfriend of a year Lauren – who works in real estate – was ‘the one.’

“I knew pretty quickly, “ he confided. “As you get older you know what you want and what you don’t want. I didn’t tell her she was the one, but I knew pretty quickly. The great thing about her and me is that I feel like I can be 100% myself.”

Because Michael can be 100% himself with Lauren, he’s letting her 100% take over the wedding planning details.

“[I’m getting married] next year, next spring,” he told Hollywoodlife.com exclusively. “[Lauren] is going to basically have everything she wants. If she wants a black tablecloth and a black gown, I might have to put my foot down, but other than that, I think…it’s her big day.”

As for kids, oh yeah, he’s ready. “Absolutely, down the road. Engagement, marriage, then kids,” he promised.

Lauren, are you SURE you want to marry Michael? If not, we’ll take him! Happily!

Have you ever found love at the grocery store, like Michael?

Michael Vartan, 41, is officially off the market! People is reporting that the former Alias (and current HawthoRNe) star recently became engaged to girlfriend Lauren Skaar, who he met one year ago in the parking lot of a Whole Foods in Los Angeles. Michael’s rep says he and Lauren are planning to walk down the aisle in 2011.

You may remember that Michael famously dated his Alias co-star Jennifer Garner from 2003 to 2004. It didn’t last too long, and they both worked hard to keep all the details of their private lives to themselves.

But we’re so glad we get to share in Michael’s happiness now. Congrats, Michael!
