Kelly Ripa & Mark Consuelos’ Sweet Wedding Tribute; Then & Now
To celebrate their twenty-eighth wedding anniversary, Live With Kelly And Mark hosts, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos jetted to Vegas. Notably, they were revisiting the Las Vegas chapel where they eloped in 1996.
Vegas Baby!
In 1995, Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos first saw each other during a chemistry test for All My Children. Afterward, the two played the roles of daytime drama love interests. However, it wasn’t long before the couple’s on-screen romance transferred to real-life love. Both Kelly and Mark quickly were madly in love and sealing the deal with their Vegas wedding in 1996. Since then, they raised their three children together: Michael, 26, Lola, 22, and Joaquin, 21. Undeniably, nothing is more fitting to commemorate the event than returning to the chapel where they began their marriage. Live With Kelly And Mark is hosting four live shows while they are there.
