( CNN ) -- Two American hikers held in Iran and accused of spying after straying across the unmarked border there have been married in California , an attorney said . Sarah Shourd and Shane Bauer married Saturday near the ocean , surrounded by some 200 family and friends , Ben Rosenfeld , a San Francisco attorney , said in a statement . `` Friends and family assumed roles at their wedding , in the same spirit of community which suffuses Sarah and Shane 's everyday lives , and which characterized the tireless broad support they received throughout their ordeal . Friends traveled from around the globe to be present . The group danced outside under the amorous cross-rays of Venus and a 'supermoon , ' '' he said . The newlyweds have since left for their honeymoon . Shourd , Bauer and a third hiker -- Josh Fattal -- were arrested after straying across the unmarked border between Iraqi Kurdistan and Iran in July 2009 . Bauer proposed during their time in prison , fashioning an engagement ring from a thread of one of his shirts . Shourd was released in 2010 , and Bauer and Fattal were freed last year after 781 days in captivity and a trial for espionage that Bauer said was based on `` ridiculous lies . ''
