"True bliss!\r\n True Blood stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer wed Saturday evening at a private residence in Malibu, Calif., their rep confirms to UsMagazine.com. The couple were &amp;quot;surrounded by their family and friends,&amp;quot; the rep adds in a statement.&amp;#xA0; Guests -- many of them bearing gifts in purple boxes and with purple bows -- included Elijah Wood and True Blood costar Carrie Preston with husband Michael Emerson (Lost).&amp;#xA0; Paquin, 28, and Moyer, 40, exchanged their vows beneath a tent across the street from the beach.\r\n\r\nThe couple announced their engagement last August.  Connecting over daily breakfasts at a West Hollywood cafe, they began dating a few months after filming first began in 2008 for HBO&amp;apos;s smash vampire series, now in its third season.  On the show, Paquin (a 1994 Oscar-winner at age 11 for her role in The Piano) plays Sookie Stackhouse, the psychic, mortal lover to vampire Bill Compton (Moyer); their first kiss occurred onscreen.\r\n\r\nBut the duo waited until February 2009 to debut their real-life romance -- a delay that was &amp;quot;very intentional on both our parts,&amp;quot; British actor Moyer explained at the time. &amp;quot;It was very important to me that the cast and crew we were working with didn&amp;apos;t feel it was fickle....We didn&amp;apos;t want to take anything away from the show.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nMoyer proposed to Canadian-born, New Zealand-raised Paquin on a Hawaiian beach, presenting her with a ring -- a rustic diamond set in an antiqued platinum inset -- he helped design with jeweler Cathy Waterman.  Why Hawaii? &amp;quot;There was a song in the first season, &amp;apos;White Sandy Beach in Hawaii,&amp;apos; which was kind of funny and ironic,&amp;quot; he told Access Hollywood last year. &amp;quot;[It] all started out as a joke and then we decided to go to Hawaii with my kids,&amp;quot; says the actor,  who has a son, Billy, and daughter, Lilac, from two previous relationships.\r\n\r\nThese days, Moyer splits his time between his native London and the Venice, Calif. home he shares with Paquin.\r\n&amp;quot;With Anna it&amp;apos;s just about pure trust, on camera and off,&amp;quot; Moyer gushed in the July issue of Playboy. &amp;quot;I have never trusted anybody like I trust Anna.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;I feel so lucky right now,&amp;quot; Paquin says in the latest issue of Rolling Stone. &amp;quot;Life is pretty great.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
