New York City, NY – Television couple Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos celebrated their 28th wedding anniversary on May 1 with a heartfelt declaration of eternal love, marking the occasion on the set of “Live with Kelly and Mark” to the tune of Stevie Wonder’s classic song, “As.” The couple, who met in 1995 while starring on “All My Children,” eloped and tied the knot on May 1, 1996, at the Nevada Chapel of The Bells in Las Vegas.

Their anniversary celebration included recreating their Las Vegas wedding photos two months ago and returning to the chapel to film a week of their show earlier this year. The couple, who have three children together, shared their goals for the future, expressing a desire to reach financial freedom once their kids are living independently.
Taking to social media, Ripa and Consuelos posted throwback photos and loving messages to each other to commemorate their special day.
