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 altar was decorated with thousands of Floral by Avant Gardenia red roses and several white candles. Flower petals were sprinkled down the aisle next to white chairs where guests sat to get a good view of the soon-to-be spouses.

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!'"

The couple previously joked that their wedding would be nothing like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's May 2014 Italy nuptials. "We're not getting married in Istanbul with eight million guests," Wahlberg told Extra in June. McCarthy added: "I won't have three dresses."

A dream come true! The View alum admitted to Us in July that she was really bad at planning the couple's big day, but it clearly went without (and with!) a hitch. "We are ready to live happily ever after," she told Us after becoming Mrs. Wahlberg.

The bride and groom slow danced to the show tune "Edelweiss" from Rodgers and Hammerstein's 1959 musical The Sound of Music. "I won the lottery," Wahlberg told Us of his new wife.

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!"
