SAN DIEGO - LeBron James has another ring.
The Miami Heat basketball star LeBron James got married in San Diego on Saturday, according to two people familiar with the details of the ceremony.
About 200 guests were present for his wedding to Savannah Brinson, said one of the people, both of whom spoke on condition of anonymity because it was private and the couple had yet to release any details.
James and Brinson, 27, have been together since high school and have two sons. James, 28, proposed just after midnight on January 1, 2012 in Miami Beach, flanked then by many of his teammates - just as he was again Saturday night for his wedding.
Intense security measures surrounded the wedding, and even some of the invited guests were unclear on some specific details in the days leading up to the long-awaited event that came less than three months after James and the Heat won their second straight NBA title.
Guests were ushered into the wedding areas under the cover of tents, and television footage taken by news helicopters showed that even umbrellas were used to protect the identity of those arriving. Heat owner Micky Arison, coach Erik Spoelstra and many of James' teammates including Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh were on the guest list.
And while some with ties to James, such as Wade and his actress girlfriend Gabrielle Union, tweeted that they were in the San Diego area for a wedding, none released any details Saturday night _ since one of the many rules of the wedding was believed to be that no phones would be allowed.
Brinson spoke briefly with AP about the wedding last spring, saying she was both excited and nervous.
James, a four-time NBA Most Valuable Player, and the Heat will open training camp next month. In June, they outlasted the San Antonio Spurs in seven games to capture the championship.
