ORLANDO, Fla. — Backstreet Boy Howie Dorough and his longtime girlfriend Leigh Boniello got married on Saturday in Dorough's hometown of Orlando.
Fellow Backstreet Boys bandmates were in attendance as Dorough, 34, married Leigh Boniello at St. James Cathedral in a traditional Catholic ceremony.
"The wedding took place as planned and all went well," attorney Jason L. Turner said in an e-mail to The Associated Press.
Dorough, also known as Howie D, proposed to his girlfriend of six years last New Year's.
"She wasn't expecting it, and I was quite nervous — more nervous about proposing to her in front of 40 family and friends than about performing in front of 40,000 people onstage," Dorough told People magazine earlier this year.
Dorough and Boniello met back in 2000, when the new bride, a film-exec-turned-real-estate-broker, was working as the Backstreet Boys' Webmaster.
The Backstreet Boys are currently promoting their sixth studio album, "Unbreakable," which was released in October.
