Music legend Billy Joel married his fiance, 23-year-old Katie Lee, in a romantic ceremony Saturday at their Long Island estate. Joel, 55, wed Lee at sunset. The wedding took place at their waterfront home in Oyster Bay.

Joel's label, Columbia Records -- thanks to Clive Davis thirty-three years ago -- announced the marriage last night.

According to Joel's publicist, the groom wore a Ralph Lauren tuxedo. The bride wore an Oscar de la Renta gown and custom-made Jimmy Choo shoes.

Billy's half-brother, pianist and classical-music conductor, Charles Alexander Joel, stood up as Best Man.

The Making of a Rock 'n Roll Legend

Singer-songwriter-pianist-composer-music legend, Billy Joel was born, William Martin Joel, May 9, 1949 in New York's The Bronx.

After taking piano lessons for ten years, Joel formed his first band, at the age of fourteen.

Joel's initial inspiration came in 1964 after seeing The Beattles perform on The Ed Sullivan Show and after seeing James Brown in concert at Harlem's Apollo Theater.

Less than ten years later, Billy released the song Piano Man, which not only became his first Top 40 hit, it became his signature tune in the U.S. For twenty years, it was the final song at all of his concerts.

After his 1973 release of Piano Man Joel went on to sell more than 100 million records around the world.

Among those songs are: Big Shot, You May Be Right, Uptown Girl, New York State of Mind, Only the Good Die Young, Allentown, We Didn't Start the Fire, River of Dreams, and the first dance at my wedding fifteen years ago, Just The Way You Are.

Just The Way You Are was recorded on his album The Stranger. This album became Columbia/CBS's biggest seller at-the-time. In the U.S. alone, it sold over 9 million copies.

In recognition of Joel's phenomenal success and popularity as a pianist and songwriter, he has won six Grammy awards including Grammy Legend Award.

Among the others were the result of We Didn't Start the Fire and The River of Dreams.

Among the music legend's many claims to fame, his 52nd Street album was the first commercially released compact disc.

ASCAP's Founder's Award

In 1997, Billy received ASCAP's Founder's Award for lifetime achievement. Past recipients of the Founder's Award include: Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Leiber and Stoller and other legends.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

In 1999, Joel was inducted as a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Ray Charles. (Joel and Brinkley's daughter, Alexa Ray credits her middle name to Ray Charles.) One day later, on March 16th, he was one of a handful of artists to receive the first ever Recording Industry Association of Arts Diamond Award, having sold more than 10 million copies of his Greatest Hits Volume I and Volume II.

Two months earlier, he was honored with the Award of Merit at the American Music Awards because his inspired song-writing skills, musical arrangements, vocals, keyboard prowess and exciting showmanship had raised the piano man's art to a new level.

Songwriters Hall of Fame

In 2001, Joel was honored by the Songwriters Hall of Fame with the Johnny Mercer Award, the organization's highest honor.

Hollywood Walk of Fame

On September 20th of this year, Joel was awarded with the 2,262nd star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The star was placed in Los Angeles on Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Pantages Theatre.

Until October 31st, the Tony Award-winning musical called Movin' Out is performing. The musical is based on twenty-four of Joel's songs.

If you're a college student, you might get lucky because Joel often lectures at universities where he explains the origins of his songs.

The philanthropist is also a big supporter of causes like "The Make a Wish Foundation" and "Save the Music".

Among the 200-300 guests invited to the wedding were Alec Baldwin, Donald Trump, Don Henley, Paul Reiser, Foreigner's Mick Jones with wife Ann Dexter Jones, Sony Music CEO Andy Lack and his wife Betsy, as well as Christie Brinkley and her husband, architect Peter Cook. Brinkley and Cook, who also live on Long Island, just celebrated their 8th wedding anniversary on September 21st.

Pulling up to the wedding in a silver van Brinkley said, ""Congratulations to Billy and Katie! We wish you every happiness."

After Joel proposed to Lee on a romantic St. Barts Caribbean cruise, she moved into his Oyster Bay Harbor estate located on Long Island. The couple will continue to live in the Hamptons where Billy and Katie's neighbors include Rupert Murdoch.
