Former Friday Night Lights star Zach Gilford married actress Kiele Sanchez Saturday, December 29.

The two met in 2010 when they co-starred in the ABC pilot The Matadors, which was never picked up. They were engaged for a year before tying the knot this weekend, reports Zap2it.

E! News spoke to Gilford in July about his wedding planning process with Sanchez.

"We set a date. We found a magical, magical place to get married and I'm excited. It is going to be cool," he had said.

The couple is also expecting their first child together early next year.

Gilford is known for his role on Friday Night Lights playing quarterback Matt Saracen. Recently, he starred in the FOX series Mob Doctor, but the network cancelled it after only 13 episodes. Next he will be seen starring alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger in The Last Stand set to hit theaters on January 18, 2013.

Sanchez stars on A&E's The Glades which returns for a fourth season in 2013.
