Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds should really consider a second career as international agents of mystery.

While the duo's whirlwind courtship seemingly culminated in an intimate vow swap in South Carolina on Sept. 9, public records show that it wasn't until a few days later that they obtained a marriage license and tied the knot, E! News exclusively confirms.

According to Charleston County Probate Court, Blake Ellender Lively and Ryan Rodney Reynolds applied for their license Sept. 13 and their marriage date is listed as Sept. 14.

So, it would appear that the I-dos witnessed by their nearest and dearest were just the dress rehearsal for the real thing!

Reps for the supremely-secretive couple have not yet returned requests for comment. But, of course, even if it took a few extra days, the Green Lantern costars are certainly married now.

Meanwhile, the Lorraine Schwartz diamond-rocking Lively is already back at work following all the excitement kicked up by her dash to the altar.

The 25-year-old fashion plate was back on the New York City set of Gossip Girl today following a weekend tucked away with her hubby at Virginia's Inn at Little Washington.

According to People, the newlyweds spent Saturday night at the exclusive 18-room establishment in northern Virginia.
