On Saturday, Gibbard's bandmate Chris Walla Tweeted, “Wedding day!! So excited,” but didn’t identify Gibbard and Deschanel as the lucky pair.

The couple was engaged over the holidays last December after about a year of dating.

While Deschanel has entered the music world with her band She & Him, Gibbard is also making his way into Hollywood — Death Cab’s “Meet Me on the Equinox” is the lead single from the “New Moon” soundtrack, and he makes his acting debut in pal John Krasinski’s “Brief Interviews With Hideous Men,” due in theaters on Friday.

Access Hollywood has reached out to Deschanel’s rep for official confirmation of the nuptials.
