Texas native Matthew McConaughey and his six years lover Camila Alves got married in Austin Saturday, the actor's rep confirmed to "Us Weekly".
"There were about 100 of his close friends and family there," one wedding guest tells "Us" of the "high-end," campout-themed soiree. "(The ceremony) was very emotional. There was a moment when . . . (Matthew) leaned down and whispered something in (Camila's) ear and you could see a tear coming down her face. Everyone let out a collective sigh."
Famous attendees at the nuptials included Woody Harrelson and filmmaker Richard Linklater. Following the ceremony, guests were given the option of celebrating all night long, camping out in state-of-the-art tents set up on McConaughey and Alves' property.
"It's definitely a campground, but they weren't exactly roughing it," one source explained. "They have showers, restrooms, and air conditioning. It's very unique, high-end camping."
It has to be noted that Alves and McConaughey, 42, who met at a bar in Los Angeles in 2006, have two children together, Levi, 3, and Vida, 2. Matthew popped the question to his Brazilian-born love this past Christmas.
"Just asked Camila to marry me, #MerryChristmas," the Matthew McConaughey tweeted December 25, posting a sweet photo of the newly-engaged couple sharing a kiss.

"I found the woman I wanna make a family with, hopefully live our life out together," he declared to "Esquire" magazine in March 2011. Still, the head-over-heels pair saw no reason to rush things, because, as Alves told "ET Canada" this past March, they already felt like a married couple.
"We've been living a married life for over six years now," Alves, 30, explained. "We have homes together, we have family together, we have kids, we've built a life together. So we've been living a married life this whole time."
Added the Shear Genius host, "A lot of people, sometimes they're so stuck on "I gotta get married, I gotta get married," that they forget that the really important thing is to have a healthy home, a healthy family, a healthy family for your kids and to have everything going in a good, peaceful way."
As young as her children are, Alves admitted her kids were excited when their parents decided to make their union official.
"Levi actually understands what it means now that mama's going to have the same last name as they have, so that's neat!" the model explained.
As for plans to expand their brood?
Teased Alves, "We'll see!"
Congratulations!
