“Good Morning America” co-anchor Robin Roberts and her longtime love Amber Laign are officially married.
The couple tied the knot on Friday, Sept. 8, in the backyard of their home in front of family and close friends.
Roberts’ childhood pastor officiated the ceremony.
Roberts and Laign each wore wedding gowns custom-made by designers Badgley Mischka.
After the wedding, the newlyweds celebrated with family and friends at an enchanted garden-themed reception.
“An intimate, magical wedding ceremony in our backyard followed by a joyous reception…ohhhh the dancing!! We are immensely grateful to all for making it a day and a night to remember,” Roberts wrote on Instagram.
“Honeymoon here we come!”
Over the nearly two decades together that followed, Roberts and Laign overcame countless health and personal obstacles together, from grieving the losses of parents to helping each other through two bouts with breast cancer and Roberts’ lifesaving bone marrow transplant in 2012.
During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, they said, and turned their talks of marriage over the years into a reality.
The official marriage proposal came at the end of 2022. The couple decided to wed while eating at a favorite restaurant together in Connecticut, where they put rings of calamari on each other’s fingers.
Added Roberts, “Many people go into marriage hoping for and looking for what Amber and I already know we have, and so ours is a celebration. We’ve been living our happily ever after through all the ups and downs, so it’s a celebration.”
