Fran Drescher is no longer just The Nanny. The Happily Divorced star has just become a wife. The 56-year-old actress married Dr. Shiva Ayyadurai in a ceremony over the weekend at the couple's beach house.

The couple, was joined by their family and friends are they said "I do" in the intimate ceremony. No word yet on if cousin and Real Housewives of New York Star Aviva Drescher was present for the ceremony. Fran confirmed the news on her Twitter account where she shared a picture of herself and her new husband, writing, "Surprise!!!!! We got married!"

The pair met last year at an event hosted by Deepak Chopra that Ayyadurai was speaking at.

"Fran heard my talk and we fell in love, and we've been together since that talk," Shiva told the Huffington Post. "Every day is a celebration with Fran. Every day is almost a romantic hangout with her. We're always laughing, always enjoying ourselves."

Now while Shiva might not be a household name, he is the inventor of something that everyone in the household uses. According to E! News, he holds the copyright to  the computer program known as "email," which he came up with back in the 70s.

Fran walked down the aisle in a dress by Badgley Mischka while Shiva choose to wear Ralph Lauren.

This is Drescher's second marriage. She was previously wed to Peter Marc Jacobson for over 21 years, but the couple called it quit in 1999. Jacobson later revealed that he was gay, which spawned the idea for their TVLand series Happily Divorced. Peter is currently Fran's producing partner.

Congrats to the happy couple.
