Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson starred in his own love story when he married fiancé Jason Landau on Saturday.

People.com reports that the former 30 Rock and Glee actor tied the knot with his entrepeneur fiancé at a friend's estate in Encino, California. Jackson wore a black Calvin Klein tuxedo, and Landau wore a John Varvatos.

"This means a new beginning for us," Jackson tells People.com. "It was love at first sight and this is just the culmination of that."

Guests included Jane Lynch, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Leah Remini, and Alicia Silverstone, among others at the 200-guest ceremony.

Of the outdoorsy wedding theme, Jackson says, "I'm from Idaho, so I wanted everything to feel very woodsy."

Landau elaborates, "There were branches of trees hovering over the tennis court we're on with over 100 mini chandeliers draping the entire party. It was gorgeous."
