Mark Burnett, Roma Downey: They Do!

The ultimate Survivor has been touched by an angel.

Mark Burnett, the reality TV mastermind behind Survivor and The Apprentice, swapped vows over the weekend with former Touched by an Angel leading lady Roma Downey.

The duo made it official Saturday at a private ceremony at their home in Malibu, according to the couple's publicist, Jim Dowd.

"Mark and Roma's wedding was beautiful, simple, elegant and a true family affair," Dowd told E! News.

Also sharing in the big day was Downey's Angel costar, and ordained minister, Della Reese, who officiated. (Reese also officiated Downey's marriage to TV producer David Anspaugh in 1995.)

The couples' children from previous marriages stood up for their parents.

James, 13 and Cameron, 10, Burnett's sons, performed best man and ring bearer duties, while Downey's daughter Reilly, 10, served as a bridesmaid for the ceremony that took place on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

"They are two of the most dedicated and caring parents I know," Dowd said.

Other guests included Burnett's father and stepmom, and Reese and her hubby Franklin acted as parental units for Downey, whose parents have passed away. The ceremony included poetry readings and a plane that flew overhead with a banner reading "...and they lived happily ever after."

This marks the third trip down the aisle for Downey, who was married to Anspaugh from 1995 to 1998 and actor Leland Orser from 1987 to 1989. Burnett and first wife Diana divorced in 2004. Before their love connection Burnett, 46, and Downey, 47, were longtime Malibu neighbors. They started dating in January 2004 and were engaged last Thanksgiving during a family vacation in Zihuatenejo, Mexico. They'll be honeymooning for 10 days in Jordan and London.

But work will cut short the postnuptial celebration, with Burnett needing to get back to his reality TV empire. This summer marks the debut of two more wannabe hits.

Pirate Master, an adventure following 16 modern-day pirates on their quest for a $1 million booty, kicks off May 31 on CBS. Meanwhile, On the Lot with Steven Spielberg, which pits 50 wannabe filmmakers against each other to get their projects of the ground, debuts on Fox May 28.

Downey, meanwhile, has been largely missing in action since Angel was canceled in 2003. Per IMDb, she hasn't racked up any credits since 2004, when she had a guest-starring arc in the defunct CBS cop drama The Division in 2004 and a lead role in the forgettable primate-themed feature Funky Monkey.
