"True Blood" co-stars Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer showed their love -- of the naked and bloody variety -- on this jaw-dropping cover of Rolling Stone, and on Aug. 21 they cemented their affection with a private wedding ceremony in Malibu, Calif.

According to Us Weekly, the 28-year-old actress, who won an Oscar at age 11 for her role in "The Piano," donned a Marilyn Monroe-style white halter-neck three-quarter length wedding dress.

(Hopefully, it wasn't windy and the bride avoided a full reenactment.)

Paquin paired the playful frock with some serious bling -- a 50-carat round-diamond necklace by jeweler Neil Lane, who told People StyleWatch that "She [Anna] wanted something with a vintage-inspired, romantic vibe."

Lane designed the starlet's diamond stud earrings as well.

Black platform heels and a neat bun completed her wedding day look. Moyer, 40, who has two children from a previous marriage, sported a dark suit.

Elijah Wood (Paquin's "The Romantics" co-star), "True Blood's" Sam Trammell, Ryan Kwanten, Rutina Wesley, Alan Ball, Carrie Preston and husband Michael Emerson (of "Lost" fame) watched the happy couple tie the knot on a grassy patch near the beach.

Paparazzi shots of the reception, held at an oceanside mansion, show Paquin looking on as Moyer -- in swim trunks -- and guests celebrated by jumping in the water, reports the Daily Mail.

The two announced their engagement last August after Moyer proposed to Paquin on a Hawaiian beach with an antique platinum rough-cut diamond ring that he designed with jeweler Cathy Waterman, a friend of the couple's.

Waterman also worked with them to design their platinum wedding bands.

How does Paquin's relatively short number compare to the long, floor-skimming wedding dresses worn this summer by Carrie Underwood, Chelsea Clinton, Alicia Keys, Penelope Cruz, and Emily Blunt?
