Ricki Lake and Christian Evans eloped on Sunday.The 43-year-old talk show host and Christian, 40, shunned a lavish ceremony and tied the knot in secret in southern California, with Ricki revealing she was "relaxed and excited" on her big day.

"It was a beautiful moment I will never forget. I wasn't anxious or nervous. I was really relaxed and excited," she told People magazine.

The former Dancing With The Stars contestant posted a picture of herself in her wedding dress on Twitter and captioned it, "Yup. This is me.... Sadie Sadie married lady. Love is in the air. Xo It's official, and I am so happy! RT @peoplemag she's married! congrats to @RickiLake and husband Christian Evans (sic)"

Ricki previously admitted she was unsure if she would ever fall in love again following the breakdown of her marriage to artist Rob Sussman - the father of her two sons Milo, 15, and Owen, 10 - after 10 years: "I didn't think it would happen at this point in my life. Christian and I just clicked. It just feels like he was the right one all along."
