Michael Vartan can officially cross “bachelor” off his list of aliases.

The former “Alias” star officially tied the knot with fiance Lauren Skaar, a real estate agent, this weekend, according to People.com.

Vartan, 42, who currently stars in medical drama “Hawthorne,” couldn’t say enough about his lucky lady, whom he had met in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Whole Foods in 2009.

“We’ve only known each other for a little more than a year, but I literally cannot imagine my life without her,” Vartan said in 2010 of knowing Skaar was “the one.” “It’s crazy. It’s wonderful.”

The actor popped the question in New York a little over a year ago.

Skaar, however, noted the sparks weren’t also there initially – at least for her.

“Michael approached me after some well calculated ‘stalking,’ as I like to call it,” Skaar said. “We didn’t date right away. I wouldn’t give him my number but did take his e-mail address, and we didn’t see each other until a few months after our first meeting.”

The wedding, which was held in Newport Beach, Calif., featured Vartan’s former “Alias” costar Victor Garber as a groomsman, and an eclectic assortment of music.

Said Vartan of what he’s looking forward to about married life: “Our plans for the future are to live a happy, simple life, have kids, lots of dogs and go with the flow.

“I married my best friend; [it] shouldn’t be too hard!”
