When former star of The OC Autumn Reeser decided to tie the knot with her longtime sweetheart, writer-director Jesse Warren, she had but one request:

She wanted to get married under a tree.

On May 9, her dream came true when she exchanged self-penned vows with Warren, 31, under a 200-year old oak at the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa in Ojai, Calif.

Wearing a gown by designer Carolina Herrera, Reeser, 28, walked down the aisle, which was decorated with white rose petals, in front of 200 friends and family.

"It was an incredible day, filled with so much love and joy," says Reeser, who played Taylor Townsend on the FOX hit show. "It surpassed all my expectations."

Hopefully Jesse Warren was able to handle what happened later that night. We hear Autumn is a terror in the sack. Oh, wait, that was Taylor Townsend. Sorry.

After dinner, it was time to hit the dance floor. Says the glowing bride: "I loved dancing with my husband and our friends and family at the reception."

Next up for the cutie? Reeser will appear in HBO's Entourage.

Stop looking at Vanessa Hudgens pictures and let's focus on some mature beauty.

And there was plenty of it on display at the Tart Spring 2008 fashion show in Los Angeles last night. Below, Megan Fox, former WWE Diva Stacey Keibler and former star of The OC, Autumn Reeser smile for the camera.

With The OC set to finally go off the air, non-fans of the dismal FOX series may finally get a chance to watch the one bright spot on that show shine elsewhere.

Autumn Reeser.

The spunky actress injected new life into the drama during its final season - and The Hollywood Gossip staff can only hope she's picked up soon by another show or movie.

Why? Just take a look at the pictures below.

They make Rachel Bilson photos seem less hot by comparison.

As for the cast member Reeser replaced as a mainstay, we guess an apology is in order for Mischa Barton. Here goes:

We know you've been through enough recently - with pictures of your ex-boyfriend, Cisco Adler nude, circulating - so we're sorry for adding to this pain by emphasizing the point that Autumn is much better looking than you are.

The truth often hurts.
