True Blood and True Love: Stars of Popular Vampire Show Tie the Knot

Stars of the hit HBO series "True Blood," 28-year old Anna Paquin and 40-year old Stephen Moyer were married in a private residence, Saturday night, sharing their vows in a sunset ceremony where they were surrounded by family, friends and fellow co-stars from the show. In addition to other cast members of "True Blood," also present were actors Elijah Wood and Michael Emerson, from "Lost."

Friends came bearing gifts wrapped in purple paper and tied with purple bows and the reception was held across the street at a cozy beach house. The wedding came, following a year-long engagement, after the two met and fell in love on the set of "True Blood." Paquin and Moyer play the main roles of telepath, Sookie Stackhouse and vampire, Bill Compton.
