Amar’e Stoudemire took advantage of the historic date to wed his longtime sweetheart Alexis Welch in an intimate ceremony at their home in New York. Hollywood Life reports that the couple invited twelve guests including the couple’s three children.

After tying the knot Amar’e tweeted “12.12.12 now has a special & spiritual meaning for us…” with a picture of their rings and then the couple attended the 12.12.12 Sandy Relief Concert (sounds like a busy day!). The couple reportedly plans to throw a larger wedding this summer.

Congrats to the happy (and beautiful) couple!
