"Before I walked out, I kept hearing all the applause, so my kids got standing ovations!" Simpson said. "It's all about family for us."

The two were married in front of more than 270 guests at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, and Simpson looked beautiful in a Carolina Herrera wedding gown.

Johnson, 34, said he saw his "gorgeous wife" Simpson, 33, "crying" as she walked toward him down the aisle.

"I think my heart was exploding a little bit," Johnson added.

Simpson said her big day was "so surreal," and that a special wedding like this was "something we've wanted ever since we met."
