If at first you don't succeed...

Hugh Hefner tied the knot on New Year's Eve with playmate Crystal Harris. In typical Hef fashion, the Playboy founder tweeted about the nuptials.

"Crystal & I married on New Year's Eve in the Mansion with Keith as my Best Man," Hefner tweeted along with a pic of the happy couple, their officiant and his younger brother, Keith Hefner. " Love that girl!"

Harris, 26, called off their first wedding in 2011 just days before the planned event. Hefner, 86, later said he "missed a bullet" by being jilted.

But true love apparently will not be denied and the pair renewed their romance a year later. Just prior to Monday's ceremony, Harris tweeted her delight.

"Today is the day I become Mrs. Hugh Hefner," she wrote. "Feeling very happy, lucky, and blessed."
