Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling and her Mind Over Murder co-star Dean McDermott were married today in a small ceremony in Fiji, according to People.

 

The couple met in Ottawa while filming Mind Over Murder. At the time, Tori Spelling, 32, was married to actor-writer Charlie Shanian, though, according to Reuters, Shanian filed for divorce just 15 months after they were married in a lavish ceremony at the Beverly Hills home of her father, TV producer Aaron Spelling. McDermott had filed for divorce last fall, from his wife of 12 years, Canadian TV personality, Mary Jo Eustace.

 

ABC News ran a quote from Dean McDermott, in which he said "I've never had as much of a desire to get married and make a woman my wife as I've had with her. The feeling is overwhelming. We're soul mates." People quoted Tori Spelling as saying "We didn't want to wait another day to get married."

 

In September, Tori Spelling made her split from Charlie Shanian public, announcing he had filed for divorce. The divorce was finalized last month. After meeting on the set of Mind Over Murder, McDermott, 39, proposed to Spelling on New Years Eve while the couple was together in Toronto. CBS News reports that "The non-denominational ceremony was attended only by the bride and groom, who were both barefoot and wearing white."

 

Tori Spelling, daughter of ABC's famed television producer Aaron Spelling, got her start in the industry with the help of her father. She appeared in shows such as The Love Boat, T.J. Hooker and Saved By the Bell, before landing her most high profile role as Donna Martin on Beverly Hills 90210. Since then, Spelling has been doing independent movies as well as mainstream ones, appearing in Scream and Scream 2. Spelling currently has her own VH1 celebreality sitcom called So NoTORIous.
