    Bullock, 40, and James, 35, exchanged vows on Saturday in front of the guests at the Folded Hills Ranch in Santa Ynez Valley's wine country.

    For wedding bands, Bullock wore a vintage ring by Neil Lane. James wore a ring made by Bullock herself out of steel.

    Guests included actor William Shatner, actresses Jamie Lee Curtis and Regina King, and Metallica lead singer James Hetfield, according to "Entertainment Tonight" and US Weekly magazine.

    Many in Hollywood have been surprised at the pairing of the tattooed bad boy James and the on-screen good girl Bullock. They met in 2003.

    It was the first marriage for Bullock, who will turn 41 later this month. She was previously engaged to actor Tate Donovan and romantically linked to actor Matthew McConaughey.

    She recently played the wife of a district attorney in the film "Crash."

    James, who previously married twice and has three children, appears on The Discovery Channel's "Monster Garage."
