Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows at the Baker Hotel in St. Charles, Illinois, where they originally married a decade ago. The intimate ceremony was attended by just the couple and their officiant, Ray McElroy, along with his wife, Michelle. Wahlberg shared the occasion on Instagram, posting a heartfelt message and a photo of himself with McCarthy, expressing his joy at reaffirming their vows.
Their vow renewal was a more private event compared to their original wedding, which had 90 guests. McCarthy wore a dark blue satin dress, and Wahlberg donned a suit in the same shade. They also shared a video on Instagram showing them transitioning from casual to formal attire, symbolizing their journey and continued commitment to each other over the past decade.
In a touching Instagram post, McCarthy reflected on their marriage, describing how it has kept her feeling like a newlywed. Set to Etta James’ “At Last,” she expressed her deep love for Wahlberg and highlighted his role as her rock, soulmate, and best friend. Her post included a compilation of photos and videos from their years together, showcasing their enduring connection.
The couple has made it a tradition to renew their vows every year, a practice initiated by Wahlberg. Initially skeptical of the idea, McCarthy has come to appreciate the annual ritual as a meaningful way to reflect on their vows and stay connected. She discussed this tradition on the “Let’s Talk Off Camera with Kelly Ripa” podcast, noting how it helps them keep their marriage fresh and engaged.
McCarthy and Wahlberg’s annual vow renewals have become a cherished part of their relationship, reinforcing their love and commitment. Their tradition allows them to celebrate their enduring bond and look forward to their future together, maintaining the passion and intensity of their marriage over the years.
