Hurry up, girls. There are now only three eligible Backstreet Boys left.

The number of BSB bachelors was reduced Saturday when Brian Littrell tied the knot with actress Leighanne Wallace in the bride's hometown of Atlanta.

All four of Littrell's bandmates--Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, A.J. McLean and cousin Kevin Richardson (accompanied by new wife Kristin Willits)--were among the 300 in attendance at the candlelit ceremony at Peachtree Christian Church, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The 30-year-old bride was wrapped in a white satin Vera Wang number, while Littrell, 25, and his groomsmen wore charcoal gray tuxes complete with top hats (seriously).

A reception (in true rock 'n' roll backstage fashion, wristbands were required for admittance) followed at the local Four Seasons, with the wedding party taking up the entire fourth floor. A swing band provided the evening's soundtrack.

No immediate word on honeymoon plans.

Littrell met Wallace while shooting the band's 1997 video "As Long As You Love Me," in which she was an extra. She's also appeared in such TV series as Silk Stockings and One Life to Live. They were engaged last Christmas and recently bought a house in suburban Atlanta.

Littrell is the second Backstreeter to forgo bachelorhood this summer. Richardson got hitched in June to longtime steady, Willits, a dancer.
