Los Angeles, CA -
Ravishing in a white Oscar De La Renta gown, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl married musician Josh Kelley on Sunday in Deer Valley, Utah. Heigl met Kelley on the set of his music video for the single "Only You". In attendance were Heigl's Anatomy co-stars Sandra Oh, T.R. Knight, Kate Walsh and Justin Chambers. Notably absent was former cast-mate Isaiah Washington.
With snow falling gently outside, it was a winter wonderland wedding for Heigl and new husband Josh Kelley. Grey's Anatomy costar T.R. Knight told People.com the ceremony was "incredible and beautiful." The nuptials took place at the Stein Eriksen Lodge near Park City, Utah. The bride was decked out in a traditional white wedding gown by Oscar Del La Renta and walked down the aisle to an acoustic song written by Kelley.
Kelley and Heigl met on the set of a music video for Kelley's "Only You" single in 2005. After a year of dating, Kelley proposed to Heigl in June of 2006, according to TVGuide.com. Kelley told People Magazine in November: "We're madly in love and she makes me excited to become married and to have a family and spend my life with someone. We're fairly opposite but we also share a lot of the same values."
Heigl was a bit less romantic about the idea of getting married, telling Vanity Fair recently: "It's a crapshoot. The odds are really bad, especially in this town… But I have a lot of faith in Josh, and I wanted to have that one day when I stand in front of my friends and my family and honor him and how important he is in my life."
Openly gay actor and Grey's Anatomy costar T.R. Knight served as Heigl's 'bridesman'. Other Anatomy cast-mates Sandra Oh, Kate Walsh and Justin chambers also attended the wedding. Patrick Dempsey missed the wedding to spend more time with his new twin sons, according to the New York Daily News.
Also missing from the wedding attendees was former Grey's Anatomy costar Isaiah Washington. Heigl slammed Washington in the press earlier this year after he allegedly made a derogatory, anti-gay comment about Knight backstage at the Golden Globes. "I'm not okay with it," Heigl said after the incident. "I'm going to be really honest right now, he [Washington] needs to just not speak in public. Period. I'm sorry, that did not need to be said. I just find it hurtful."
