The pair of photos show the couple posing on a cobblestone street in Rome in their wedding attire — a classic black suit and tie for Lucas, and a white lace strapless dress for Ruffalo, who also carried a lace parasol to shield herself from the sun.

Ruffalo shared some wedding photos on her own Instagram as she declared that she and Lucas were officially “Mr. and Mrs.”

“Incredibly blessed to receive this sacrament together inside the heart of the Catholic Church and holy city,” she added in the caption.

Lucas — who shares 15-year-old son Noah Rev with ex Jessica Ciencin Henriquez — commented on his wife’s post, “I love you! Easily one of the greatest days of my life. I am so so grateful.”

On Monday, July 21, Ruffalo revealed that she and Lucas were spending their honeymoon in their “happy place”: Capri, Italy. She shared a photo on Instagram of the pair cuddling up in their swimsuits by the sea at the Lido del Faro beach club.

Lucas first shared the news that he had popped the question to Ruffalo last June, writing on Instagram, “For the last 2 years in Every Way and Every Day this beautiful soul has made me and my life better, deeper, and more whole.”

“I am so grateful and thrilled she said ‘Yes,’ ” he continued. “I WAY love you Brianna. & Thank You to our families and all the people and places that made this come true. I am absolutely aware I got crazy lucky.”

At the time, the actor shared clips of the emotional moment, showing his then-fiancée wiping tears from her eyes as a band serenaded the couple with an acoustic version of Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” in a restaurant.

Ruffalo also posted a video from the proposal, showing herself flashing her sparkly engagement ring for the camera.

“Almost 2 years ago this fall, and with no expectations, Josh walked into my life… and we knew almost immediately we had each found our person in a way we’ve never experienced – on every level. This was the easiest and best question I’ve ever answered,” she wrote.
