The 27 year-old – who is both a three-time U.S. National Champion and the 2008 World bronze medalist – wed lawyer Victor Voronov in a private ceremony on Friday 30 December.
According to the Associated Press, both men's parents were present at the ceremony which took place in New York City's Courthouse.
Although they are planning a summer ceremony to celebrate the union, Weir said in a Twitter post on Saturday that "all the official stuff is done now!"
"I am so happy to have found my match," he said in a statement.
"Marrying Victor has been the greatest moment in my life and I will work very hard to make him proud and happy." The two are using the surname Weir-Voronov, although not professionally.
Here is his tweet.
