Jenny McCarthy and Blue Bloods star Donnie Wahlberg were married Sunday.
The nuptials were held at the beautiful and historic Hotel Baker in St. Charles, Illinois, just outside McCarthy’s hometown of Chicago.
According to People magazine, the 41-year-old former The View co-host wore a gown she found during a July shopping excursion at Bergdorf Goodman.
The couple reportedly began dating last summer and became engaged in April in a very unique way.
McCarthy‘s 12-year-old son Evan gave Donnie a hand in the proposal by delivering notes to his mom with the words “Will” and “You” and “Marry,” followed by Donnie’s big entrance wearing a t-shirt that said “Me?”
