Romance always seems to elude Sonya Walger when she plays Penny on "Lost," but in real life, she's celebrating her recent marriage to screenwriter Davvey Holmes.

British actress Sonya Walger has a lot to celebrate.

The "Lost" actress (she plays Desmond's ladylove Penny), has a new show premiering this week – the heavily anticipated "FlashForward" on ABC — and she is celebrating her recent nuptials to screenwriter Davey Holmes.

"I got married six weeks ago," the blonde actress told People earlier this week. "It's just a sweet thing. I haven't got a better word for it. It's an enormous amount of sweetness."

Sonya, who married Davey in July, said her big day was accentuated by the downtime she got to have before the big event.

"I felt very unstressed on my wedding day," she said. "I'm very grateful for that … spending the day on my own, being super quiet and happy and just puttering around doing my own thing."

The rehearsal dinner was enjoyable too.

"We had a Beatles karaoke band," she said.

But Sonya revealed it was tough to pick a song to belt out to her guests.

"I love the ones that I can sing so it tends to be like 'Michelle' and 'Norwegian Wood' because I can sing them," she told the mag.
