Film and television star Keri Russell and her longtime boyfriend Shane Deary wed on Wednesday in New York City. The intimate ceremony took place among a small gathering of friends and family, who came together to celebrate the pair's union in the midst of a full-fledged snowstorm on Valentine's Day.

The pair are both 30 years old, and have been dating for several years. Neither the bride nor the groom have been married before. They're expecting their first child to arrive this summer.

Russell is currently in her second trimester, and announced her pregnancy to the media last month. In an interview at the Sundance Film Festival, Russell said of her pregnancy "I'm one of the lucky ones. So far it's been nice and easy. It's a big, life-changing experience, and we're excited."

Keri Russell is a Golden Globe winning actress, known for her star turn in the title role of TV hit "Felicity." On the show, which ran on the WB from 1998 to 2002, she played undergraduate Felicity Porter, who moves to New York to pursue the love of her life.

Shane Deary is a contractor based in New York. Russell has lived in New York since 2002.

As a youngster, Russell appeared on "The New Mickey Mouse Club," the Disney Channel springboard that catapulted many stars to fame. During her time as a Mouseketeer, she performed alongside future celebrities including Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, and Britney Spears.

In recent years, Keri Russell has traded in the small screen for the silver screen; she appeared in last summer's "Mission Impossible III," and recently completed work on the independent romantic comedy "Waitress," which was screened at the Sundance festival last month. After Russell worked with Tom Cruise in "MI: III," rumors began to fly that Keri Russell was attending Scientology classes. Russell quickly responded, denying the reports; her publicist threatened to sue the reporter who first made the claims. Russell is of Jewish heritage.
