Willa Ford has put her single life on ice.
The 26-year-old singer-actress tied the knot with pro hockey player Mike Modano Saturday at a private ranch in Athens, Texas, with 75 guests looking on, her manager confirmed to E! News.
Proving herself a woman of many talents, Ford walked down the aisle in a wedding dress she designed herself
The newlyweds dated on and off for more than four years before Modano popped the question over Thanksgiving last year. The proposal came amid reports that Ford was dating Maksim Chmerkovskiy, her partner on the third season of Dancing with the Stars.
Everybody thought it was going to be Maks! Ford said of her engagement at the time.
After competing on Dancing with the Stars, Ford went on to land the role of Anna Nicole Smith in a TV biopic about the late model that filmed earlier this summer.
She also recently starred in the independent thriller Impulse, which wrapped last week in Vancouver. The movie is slated for release next year.
In between acting roles, Ford is also reportedly working on completing her second album, a collection of pop-dance songs.
She and Modano, a center for the Dallas Stars, purchased a Dallas-area home earlier this year and have said they plan to start a family in the near future.

Announcing the project in March, Jack Nasser said that the film would not be focused on the trash and the tabloid-filling final days of the late model, but would be a comprehensive look at her life touching on many of her milestones, including her days as a Guess? girl and Playboy centerfold, the birth and death of son Daniel, the birth and dispute over daughter Dannielynn and her marriage to the late oil tycoon J. Howard Marshall II.

A: It was very, very different, because on this film it wasn't that large of a crew, probably only 20 or 30 people. But on The O.C. we were working with like 200 people on the call sheet!
Q: You worked with Dennis Quaid in the upcoming Legion. Did he give you any advice about making it in Hollywood?
A: He is one my favorite people ever. The night before we began shooting, we had a cast dinner, and we randomly got seated next to each other. We ended up having like a 45-minute-long conversation, and we got really close on this project...I think for everyone in this industry, he just prays that we all manage to keep our heads firmly on our shoulders in this day and age and our feet on the ground.
Q: Did you check out Bridget Jones's Diary before going to work on Genova with Colin Firth?
A: I actually have never seen that. For an actor, I am actually a really bad movie watcher. I should have seen every film out there, but oddly I have not. But I knew who he was, I saw him in Love Actually. I love him to death. He is one of the biggest sweathearts.
Q: In Middle of Nowhere, you worked with Susan Sarandon. She's so political. Did she try and impart any of her enthusiasm onto you? Did she inspire you to get excited for the election?
A: I actually try and stay away from politics because I don't know too much about it.
In closing we have a few Interesting Tidbits to share with you as well:
Willa was named to Teen Vogue's Best Dressed List 2008

The boys from Big Enough for Five are back. They've sold the press and are each pursuing different jobs, doing their own thing. They still come back together again at the end of the day though, living and fighting and loving as only a fivesome can. They're finally investing in a new bed, too. Something custom-made that'll fit them all just a little bit better, something that's made for five. But what happens when street musician Rhymer decides he'd like a taste of each of them? Will his interest fracture what the fivesome have managed to build together? Or will they discover that they've got room for one more.

ABC Dancing With the Stars alum Willa Ford is engaged to NHL star Mike Modano.
We were out to dinner the other night, and I think he had it with him the entire night, Ford said Thursday night at the Arbys Action Sports Awards in Los Angeles. He was really nervous. Then right before we went to sleep he asked me and I said,
Modano, 36, a center for the Dallas Stars, gave Ford, 25, a ring, but Ford says her fiance had the jeweler redesign the bauble three times before proposing because he was nervous about having it just right.
The couple, who met at an event for the hockey stars charitable foundation, has been dating on and off for more than four years in a mostly long distance relationship. Ford, who lives in LA, plans to marry Modano after his hockey season ends.
