Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg tied the knot with the help of Exceptional Events by Shuki Moran in a romantic classic ceremony at the Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Ill., outside Chicago on Aug. 31, 2014 four months after getting engaged. As exclusively reported, the couple first began dating in July 2013.
The lovebirds exchanged vows in front of 90 guests in an intimate 20-minute ceremony. Wahlberg's younger famous brother, Mark Wahlberg, was unfortunately unable to attend due to his daughter Ella's previously scheduled birthday party in L.A. He and his family congratulated the newlyweds in a sweet video in his absence.
The couple sweetly kissed for the first time as husband and wife with McCarthy's tousled blonde waves cascading down her shoulders. She tried at first (with no success!) to give him a quick peck before even saying "I do." She told Us: "Donnie said, 'You can't kiss me yet!'"
McCarthy and the Wahlburgers proprietor indulged their sweet tooth with a towering cake made by local bakery All Chocolate Kitchen. The dessert was decorated with both real and edible roses by Floral by Avant Gardenia and had alternating layers of vanilla, chocolate and red velvet. "I just said, 'Do romantic red roses,'" McCarthy explained.
The couple stayed with tradition as the boy bander got down on bended knee to take off the bride's garter. "We've both been married before and we want to make it special — this is the last wedding," Wahlberg told Extra in June. McCarthy was previously married to director John Mallory Asher from 1999 to 2005; the exes share son Evan. Wahlberg wed recording engineer Kim Fey from 1999 to 2008, with whom he shares sons Xavier and Elijah.
What a whirlwind! McCarthy and Wahlberg shared several intimate moments during their big day — something the SiriusXM host was ready for back in November 2013. "I wound up giving him my number. I made the first move," McCarthy recalled during the Bethenny show at the time. "I think he would be an amazing husband!"
