"Married in beautiful Yosemite Valley, California today," said a brief statement that was posted on Saturday on the official website of comedian Chris Kattan.  The 37-year-old actor, who appeared on Saturday Night Live from 1996 to 2003, tied the knot to fiancé of 18 months, Sunshine Tutt.

As confirmed on his website, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate event with a few guests including his Saturday Night Live co-stars Will Ferrell, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Poehler, and Tina Fey.

Chris Kattan and Sunshine Tutt got engaged in 2006 on Christmas Eve at the home of Tutt's grandparents in Gainesville, Texas.  They had been dating since spring 2005.

Kattan was a member of the improv/sketch comedy troupe The Groundlings in Los Angeles but catapulted to stardom when he moved to New York City to work on Saturday Night Live.  During his stint on the variety sketch comedy, he introduced a bunch of quirky characters such as Peepers, Mango, Azrael Abyss, Kyle DeMarco from The DeMarco Brothers, Gay Hitler, Suel Forrest and, most notably, one half of the Butabi Brothers with fellow Saturday Night Live cast member Will Ferrell. Kattan's trademark partnership with Ferrell continued in the 1998 comedy film A Night at the Roxbury.

After Saturday Night Live, Kattan remained active in the comedy circuit as he was cast in Totally Awesome, The Year Without a Santa Claus, Two Dreadful Children, and Undead or Alive, in which he starred opposite James Denton of Desperate Housewives fame.

This year, Kattan will be starring a series of movies, starting off with the drama Tanner Hall.  Then, he'll be lending his voice in the animated flick Foodfight! before doing some hilarious antics in Hard Breakers and Hollywood & Wine.  Moreover, he will also serve as the host to the new CBS game show called Gameshow in My Head.
