Introducing Mr and Mrs Lopez: Newlyweds Mario Lopez and Courtney Mazza show off wedding rings at X Factor viewing party

They tied the knot in an intimate ocean-side ceremony in Mexico last weekend, surrounded by their loved ones.
And it seemed that Mario Lopez and his new bride Courtney Mazza couldn't wait to step out for the first time as husband and wife as they posed on the red carpet at The X Factor viewing party on Thursday night.
Beaming from ear-to-ear as they flashed their platinum bands towards the camera, the newlyweds looked the picture of happiness as as they cuddled up to each other.

The smitten couple were evidently in a playful mood for the evening, with both Mario and Courtney raising their hands up so their wedding bands could be seen in all their glory.
 

And marriage certainly seems to be suiting them down to the ground; with Courtney looking positively radiant as she showed off her newlywed glow.
Mario opted for a dapper navy blue pinstripe suit as he joined his X Factor co-stars on the red carpet, while his new bride showed off her slim figure in black skinny jeans and a sheer leopardprint blouse.

The couple exchanged their vows in an oceanside service near Punta Mita, Mexico, last Saturday.
Standing on a floor of white with their union perfectly framed underneath an ornate gazebo, the pair tied the knot in front of their nearest and dearest just before sunset.
Girls Gone Wild founder Joe Francis loaned the couple his stunning $30m estate for their special day, with Eva Longoria among the celebrity guests.
The couple's cute little girl Gia served as the flower girl and walked down the aisle with her mother and father after the ceremony.
Courtney wore an Ines Di Santo gown, while Mario looked dapper in his wedding suit.

After the servic, guests dined and enjoyed diner, while Mario's pal Eva kicked off her shoes and danced with little Gia.
There was also an impressive six-tied cake, which the couple were seen standing next to with glasses of champagne at the ready.
Lopez, who has a two-year-old daughter with the Broadway dancer, proposed over New Year's weekend last year.

The couple met in 2008 when the former Saved By the Bell actor was starring in A Chorus Line on Broadway.
A mariachi band played during the festivities, which will air in a two-hour television special later this month called Mario & Courtney's Wedding Fiesta.
The groom's good friend Eva Longoria meanwhile gave fans a sneak peek of her own wardrobe before the ceremony.

Dressed in a sexy cobalt blue gown with a thigh-high slit, the actress posed with her mother in an image posted on Twitter.

'Me and mama reading for @MarioLopezExtra and @CLMazza wedding! So excited for the beautiful couple!!' she wrote.
The actress also admitted it was a feat to get into the fitted number.

'How many people does it take to zip up a dress?? Apparently THREE!' she captioned an image with a team of people gathered around her.

The actress later admitted she couldn't breathe, but was satisfied that at least 'the dress looks good!!!' after worrying it wouldn't work.

The television star, 39, popped the question over New Year's weekend last year in Ixtapa, Mexico.
'We took a walk alone as the sun was setting,' he told UsWeekly after the proposal.
'I told Courtney that I wanted the mother of my children to have their last name. She was silent at first from shock, then she leaped for joy and did a little jete!'
She added: 'Besides our daughter's birth, this was the best moment of my life!'

It is the first marriage for Mazza, and Lopez's second.

He was previously married to Ali Landry in 2004 in Mexico but their marriage was annulled two weeks later due to his infidelities.
Mario admitted that he cheated at his bachelor party days before their wedding.
'At that point I was not ready to settle down,' he told Us. 'I wasn't man enough to know how to go about handling it.'
He explained that days after their wedding a horrified Landry confronted him after being shown a photo of him in a compromising position with a woman at the party.
Lopez' nuptials with Mazza are due to air on TLC network on December 8.
