Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos recently shared their thoughts on their unconventional marriage proposal, expressing gratitude that it predated the pervasive influence of social media. Mark Consuelos recalled, "Should we get married tomorrow?" to which Ripa responded, "Ask me when you're serious." Consuelos affirmed his seriousness before they eloped.
The couple exchanged vows in Las Vegas in 1996, a year after meeting on the set of the soap opera All My Children. They have since welcomed three children: Michael, Lola, and Joaquin.
In a prior revelation, Ripa disclosed that their wedding cost a mere $179, including airfare. She also shared that her wedding dress, purchased for under $200 and originally from Barneys New York, is now frequently used as a beach cover-up.
