TV personality Mario Lopez is off the market.

Usweekly.com reports that the X-Factor host married his girlfriend of four years Courtney Mazza on Dec. 1 in a Mexican beach wedding.

Taped for a TLC wedding special set to air Dec. 8, the couples nuptials featured one very special guest: Lopez and Mazza's 2-year-old daughter, Gia, who served as their flower girl.

Us reports that before their wedding, "Saved By the Bell" alum Lopez, 39, told Us Weekly he was letting his bride call the shots.

"She's the quarterback of the team," said Lopez, who first met Mazza when they costarred in the revival of Broadway's A Chorus Line. "It's her day, so I'm cool with what she wants. But I'm involved with the reception because I want it to be a big party."

Accepting Lopez's proposal during a New Year's weekend trip to Ixtapa, Mexico in January, Mazza is just excited the couple can finally make it official. "The only thing that's going to change is my last name," the bride told Us. "Same love, same everything!"

This is the first marriage for Mazza and the second for Lopez, who wed model Ali Landry in 2008 before having the marriage annulled two weeks later.
