'Arrow' superhero Stephen Amell reportedly ties the knot

Arrow's Oliver Queen is officially off the mark, as Stephen Amell married girlfriend Cassandra Jean two weeks ago on Christmas Day.

According to JustJared, the couple tied the knot in a sunset ceremony while vacationing in the Caribbean, and then celebrated New Year's in St. Bart.

Nominated for a People's Choice Award for "Favorite New TV Drama", Arrow stars Amell as Oliver Queen, a billionaire who returns to Starling City after living off an island for five years, and decides to dedicated his life to righting wrongs by going after those on "the list" his late father gave him. As the vigilante alter-ego currently known as "the Hood" (because the name "Green Arrow" sounds lame ... for now), Oliver sets out to bring justice to the criminals and the corrupt in Starling City.

Arrow's series opener last fall was CW's highest-rated premiere since The Vampire Diaries in the fall of 2009.

The first episode of the new year finds Oliver getting "Burned" in more ways than one when his battle with the Dark Archer leaves his confidence shaken and battle-scared, and decides to take a break from fighting injustice. However, Laurel needs Arrow's help in stopping an embittered ex-firefighter turns arsonist called Firefly.

Arrow airs Wednesdays at 8pm on the CW.
