Jenny Mccarthy’s 12-year-old son Evan walked her down the aisle at her wedding to Donnie Wahlberg.
The model-turned-TV personality married the New Kids on the Block star on 31 August (14), and the big day was made even more special as she had her son by her side. McCarthy tells People.com, “He came up to me and said, ‘I have the most important job at the wedding’, and I said ‘You do,’ and then the time came where he walked in the door in his little tuxedo… Donnie helped him get dressed, and then he met me and said, ‘You ready?’ “He put out his little arm, and we walked down the aisle, and the officiator said, ‘Who’s giving away this girl?’ And he raised his arm, ‘I am.'”
McCarthy was also thrilled that her son’s involvement did not stop there – he also planned a surprise speech for the bride.
She adds, “He grabbed the microphone and said, ‘Can I say a few words?’ He was like, ‘I love my stepdad, I’m so glad for my mom, we’re going to make a great family.’ And it was really beautiful.”
