Katie Couric has shared a few of her beautiful wedding photos with NBC’s TODAY.
The 57-year-old former TODAY cohost told Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday she couldn’t wait to marry John Molner and felt more relaxed than she dreamed possible.
“I just wasn’t nervous at all,” said Couric. “For someone who is generally hyper, I was incredibly relaxed.”
The bride and groom walked down the aisle together while a string quartet played the Broadway song Til There Was You. The ceremony took place in the backyard of her home in East Hampton, New York, on June 21, and was a very intimate affair.
A second marriage for both Couric and Molner, their union was celebrated in a laid-back ceremony that was primarily planned by her 51-year-old new husband.

The Yahoo! Global News anchor wore an ivory crystal beaded and embroidered Chantilly lace halter gown designed by Carmen Marc Valvo. Daughters Ellie, 22, and Carrie, 17, joined Molner’s children, Allie and Henry, and 50 guests, to celebrate the wedding.
Couric’s visit to her former show was an opportunity to talk about the fourth Stand Up To Cancer fundraiser, which will be simulcast Sept. 5 on 30 networks, including NBC, Bravo, Oxygen and E!

Couric has been a staunch supporter of cancer research ever since she lost her first husband, Jay Monahan, to colon cancer in 1998.
