Entertainer and former ‘N Sync band member Lance Bass has married his partner, artist Michael Turchin.

The couple married Saturday at the Legendary Park Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles before 300 guests.

People reports that Bass and Turchin designed their own tuxes – a pair for the wedding and another for the reception – in collaboration with stylist Jeff Kim.

From The New York Times:

Mr. Bass and Mr. Turchin, both given away by their mothers, were wed under a canopy in honor of Mr. Turchin’s Jewish heritage. They decided to abandon the tradition of being surrounded by a wedding party and chose instead to ask four models, clad in ivory dresses, to mimic flower girls. Friends walked the couple’s three dogs down the aisle.

Dating since December 2011, the couple got engaged in New Orleans in August following ‘N Sync’s reunion performance at the MTV Video Music Awards.

Bass, 35, came out in 2006, two years after the band’s last performance together.

The Dec. 20 ceremony will be televised as part of an E! special, “Lance Loves Michael: The Lance Bass Wedding.”
