Kelly Ripa’s Wedding Regret With Husband Mark Consuelos Revealed
Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos & Son Joaquin Consuelos Make First Public Outing Together in 10 Years
Every rose has its thorn, including Kelly Ripa‘s wedding to Mark Consuelos.
The Hope & Faith alum revealed the one element she wishes she and Consuelos—with whom she shares kids Michael, 28, Lola, 24 and Joaquin, 23—had done differently for their inexpensive Las Vegas ceremony in 1996.
“I’m still sorry that we didn’t spring for flowers because I always think my hands look awkward,” Ripa shared during a June 12 episode of Live With Kelly and Mark, jokingly nudging her husband while adding, “Flowers are extra. And somebody didn’t want to spring for flowers.”
“The one photo that I never show is the photo where I’m awkwardly posing with my hands because I don’t have flowers,” Ripa continued. “It’s a very awkward photo.”
Despite the one “weird picture,” the 55-year-old praised the famed Chapel of the Bells venue for including pictures in the wedding package.
And that’s not the only advantage the All My Children alums—who met on set in 1996 when Consuelos auditioned to play Ripa’s onscreen love interest—cherish about their elopement. When giving advice to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce about their anticipated nuptials, the daytime co-hosts highlighted that their big day cost only $179.
