"So excited to make my debut as Mrs. John Molner!" tweets Couric.
It’s wedding bells for talk show host and journalist Katie Couric.
The 57-year-old journalist wed her New York financier fiance John Molner, 51, in a ceremony in East Hampton, N.Y. on Saturday, confirms Us Weekly.
The tw became engaged in September 2013, after two years of dating. Couric had previously stated her intention of having a small, intimate wedding — and the event was just that.
The ceremony was held at the couple’s home. Couric wore a halter gown designed by Carmen Marc Valvo, adorned with ivory crystal beads and Chantilly lace.
Couric and Molner were joined by friends and family, including Couric’s two daughters, Ellie, 22, and Carrie, 17, as well as Molner’s two children, Allie and Henry.
A reception in the couple’s garden followed the exchange of vows. There, tables were decorated with centerpieces of roses, peonies, dahlias and hydrangeas. A strawberry lemon cake was served for dessert while musician Hank Lane performed.
On June 20, they day before her wedding, Couric tweeted, “I’m taking a break from technology this weekend, but will post a photo on Saturday!”
“Thanks for all the well-wishes!” continued her tweet.
The following day, the veteran news anchor added, “So excited to make my debut as Mrs. John Molner!”
The tweet is accompanied by an image of the bride and groom looking into each other’s eyes, in front of a pool.
This is the second marriage for both Couric and Molner. Couric was married to Jay Monahan until his death from cancer in 1998. The marriage produced two children: Ellie and Carrie. Molner is divorced from his first wife Jane, the mother of his children.
