The marriage bug has been biting a few celebrities.

The actress who played Winnie Cooper on the TV show "The Wonder Years" has married, People magazine and other media outlets are reporting.

Danica McKellar, 34, who is now a brilliant mathematician, wed composer Mike Verta, 36, in an ocean-side church at sunset in La Jolla, Calif., in front of 150 guests, the magazine said.

Those attending included the bride's sister and maid of honor, Crystal McKellar, who played Becky Slater on "The Wonder Years." Also present were actors Dan Lauria and Allie Mills, who portrayed the parents of the main character Kevin, played by Fred Savage.

The bride wore a mermaid-style wedding gown and a tiara by Renee Strauss while the groom wore a tuxedo with tails and white gloves, the story said.

People also reported this week that Harrison Ford proposed to girlfriend Calista Flockhart.

"I was not surprised that I was able to fall in love, and I wasn't surprised that I did. But I'm very grateful," Ford told People in 2003.

Ford, 66, surprised Flockhart, 44, with an engagement ring on Valentine's Day weekend while the two were away on a family vacation with son Liam. The couple has been together for seven and a half years, the magazine said.

Last but not least, David Letterman married longtime girlfriend Regina Lasko on March 19 at the Teton County Courthouse in Choteau, Mont.

The couple has a son, Harry, who was born in November 2003.
