The New York Knicks power forward, 30, married his longtime girlfriend Alexis Welch on the rooftop deck of their Manhattan home on Wednesday, a date they picked because it was 12-12-12.
"I feel blessed," says Stoudemire, who posted a photo of the couple's wedding rings on Twitter.
"12.12.12 now has a special & spiritual meaning for us," he wrote.
The couple – who have been together for a decade and have three children – had just 12 people at the ceremony.
The bride wore a custom dress and the groom was in a tuxedo by Calvin Klein. They both have rings by Shayan Afshar, and her wedding band is by Harry Glinberg.
Following the ceremony, they visited the 12-12-12 Concert for Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden before heading to STK for a reception.
Stoudemire and Welch, who were engaged June 2 in Paris, plan to celebrate their love again this summer at a bigger wedding with friends, teammates and family.
