Sara Ramirez has got married.

The 'Grey's Anatomy' actress - who plays Dr. Callie Torres in the medical drama TV series - tied the knot with her longtime boyfriend Ryan Debolt after a one-year-long engagement.

The 36-year-old actress' representative told Us Weekly that the happy couple exchanged vows in 'an intimate ceremony in New York', and the private event was attended by 'close family and friends'.

Ryan, a business analyst, asked Sara to be his wife on June 17, 2011 while the couple were on holiday in Paris, France, and she was said to be overcome with 'tears of joy' when he popped the question.

A witness explained: 'Her boyfriend came next to her and kneeled. He opened a case, and we just heard her saying, 'Oh my God! Oh my God! Oh my god,' and seconds later, a really big 'Yes!''

Earlier this year, Sara admitted she wants to have children with Ryan, but she intends to approach the prospect of having a baby with a degree of caution as she comes from a divorced family.

She said: 'I'm considering having kids. It's a huge responsibility to me. I come from a family that's divorced, and that gives you a sense of caution. I get the timeline, I get the stats, but I want to enjoy being engaged for a minute.'
