Sopranos boss James Gandolfini, 46, married his girlfriend of two years, former model Deborah Lin, 40, in a romantic ceremony in Honolulu, Hawaii, the bride’s hometown, on Saturday. They exchanged vows for 20 minutes and then celebrated with 200 friends and family at a Hawaiian and Chinese-themed reception. It sounds like a lovely day for the happy couple:

James Gandolfini and fiancée Deborah Lin tied the knot Saturday in her hometown of Honolulu, Hawaii, a wedding guest confirms to PEOPLE.

“There was a nice big kiss at the end with both hands on the cheeks” as The Sopranos star and Lin officially became husband and wife, the guest tells PEOPLE. “They looked great.”

As a group of their closest friends and family looked on, Gandolfini, 46, and Lin, a former model, 40, exchanged their vows in an intimate ceremony surrounded by white lilies and rhododendrons adorning every pew held at Central Union Church.

According to the guest, Lin strolled down the aisle in a white gown made of Italian lace while her tuxedoed groom stood waiting as a harpist played the “Hawaiian Wedding Song” in the background.

Gandolfini’s son Michael, 8, from his first marriage to Marcy Wudarsk (which ended in 2002), served as best man.

Following the elegant 20-minute nuptials, the newlyweds stepped into a white stretch limousine bound for the evening reception at a nearby resort.

At the reception, Gandolfini and Lin sat at an elevated table looking out onto the 200 guests – double the size of the wedding ceremony – in the filled ballroom. “They both wore long, green leis around their necks,” says a source. “There were lots of white flowers on the tables and Gandolfini was beaming.”

The happy couple and their guests nibbled on lobster, pork and seafood hors d’oeuvres (pupu in local Hawaiian lexicon) and during a sit-down dinner, feasted on Ahi tuna, Chinese roasted duck breast over angel hair pasta and steamed bok choy, broiled Mahi Mahi and filet mignon. The final course featured tiramisu and – of course – cannolis.

Paying tribute to Lin’s heritage, three teams of Chinese lion dancers (at least three people per lion) cavorted between tables as onlookers dropped a dollar in each gaping mouth for good luck. “Jim and Deborah mingled through the crowd a lot,” says a guest. “Everything was just really tasteful.”

Congratulations to Gandolfini and Lin! I’m also pleasantly surprised to hear that Lin is 40, is around Gandolfini’s age, and started dating him well after he was divorced. You hear so many instances of cheating and older actors with 20-something women that it seems all too common.

Gandolfini lives in NY City and it is presumed the newlyweds will reside there.

Golden Globe winning actor Gandolfini is keeping busy in his professional life. He has five films completed, three in the works, and another upcoming television project, according to IMDB. Hopefully he’ll take some time off for a honeymoon.
