Josh Duhamel surprised his wife of nearly a year, Fergie, with a vow renewal ceremony Wednesday, UsMagazine.com has confirmed.
The couple -- who first said "I Do" in front of hundreds of guests in Malibu on Jan. 10, 2009 -- wed again with just the two of them and a minister outside Santa Barbara, Calif.

"It was a total surprise for Fergie," a source tells Us.
Duhamel, 37, whisked Fergie, 34, away via private helicopter from Los Angeles to the resort town (where Oprah has a home), according to RadarOnline.com, which first reported the news.
There, a limo was waiting to bring the couple -- who first began dating in 2004 -- to the luxe Bacara Resort & Spa, located about 20 minutes away.

During their 15-minute ceremony, held on a bluff overlooking the ocean, Fergie was "crying and very emotional," a source tells Radar.
Another insider describes the moment to Us as "really romantic, great views of the Pacific, sunset ceremony."
Afterward, the couple had a romantic dinner at the resort's upscale Miro eatery.

"They had the whole restaurant to themselves and left before the first customers came in," a source tells Radar.
Following the meal, the couple left hand-in-hand to return to the helicopter and fly back to Los Angeles.
Fergie and Duhamel's first year of marriage has been rocky.
In November, a stripper named Nicole Forrester alleged they carried on an affair while he was shooting the comedy Life As We Know It in Atlanta, a claim both Fergie and Duhamel have denied.
A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly that enduring the ordeal actually made their marriage stronger.

122it was very sweet of josh to do that for fergie to renewing their wedding vows i love you josh duhamel forever and for always
They must really feel the need to prove how much in luuuuuuuurve they are with each other. I don't expect this relationship to last another year at all.
LOVE LOVE THE MUSIC. KEEP IT ROCKIN GIRL..
(Bill Lumberg) Uhh,yeah, I'm gonna have to go ahead and sort of agree with Jennyjens on this one,mmmkay? If he could just kind of keep it in his pants,that would be greeeaaat.
i hate fergie she sings in to many tones annd shes ugly
Now they have experts talking about it. They say renewing their vows after one year is either for publicity or trying to patch things up.
I don't think he is hot at all. He has a weird nose, it has a dimple on the tip of it. And his widow's peak on his massive forehead is profound.
Well,it is a step 2wards building a better relationship.Congratulations.
He didnt need to do that. She didnt leave him when the news broke about his cheating ass, then he now has carte blanche to do what he wants. She is spineless and he is a handsome manipulator. Been there, done that, watch for the car wreck of their marriage in the gossip columns ..
he is way to handsome for her and i am sure he will keep cheating!
This is to L i second that!!
I wish them well.I hope he will never cheat on her again.I like her(not him)
Who renews vows after less that a year of marriage? I think he is trying to make up for his unfaithfulness. I didnt believe it was true until I read this, now I think it must be. I feel bad for Fergie, she deserves better. She could certainly get better too.
Something is seriously wrong in your relationship if you have to renew vows after one year of marriage. He already broke them the first time round.
Whats this renewing vows sh*t? Dont all those famous persons renew their vows and years later they are getting divorced? Just trying to get publicity thats all......Love? yeah right!!
CONGRATS
This is beautiful. They are beautiful. Good luck and best wishes forever!
This is just sad! I can't STAND Fergie, but not even she should have to carry on with this nonsense.
You renew your vows at like 10 or 20 years not ONE. Plus, surprise her and she has to do it, right?
Why do you need to renew vows after a year? Or even at all if you take them serious the first time you don't need to do them again. Didn't he cheat on his girlfriend or wife he had before with fergie? Its called Karma that's what she gets for taking some other woman's man to begin with.
