Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity marry at the same church where they got engaged

Fox News stars Ainsley Earhardt and Sean Hannity tied the knot on Saturday at the historic Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, returning to the place where Hannity proposed over Christmas in 2024.

Surrounded by their children, relatives and closest friends, the couple exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony that reflected their shared faith and the importance of family in their lives.

The setting brought their engagement story full circle, as they were married at the same church where they first committed to spending their lives together.

Earhardt and Hannity incorporated their shared faith into the ceremony with selected readings from Romans 12 and the Song of Solomon. Romans 12 emphasizes devotion and respect, encouraging believers to “Love one another with brotherly affection” and “Outdo one another in showing honor” (Romans 12:10), while the Song of Solomon speaks to the strength of romantic love, stating, “Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it” (Song of Solomon 8:7). The selections reflected the values the couple hopes to carry into their marriage.

During the ceremony, which was officiated by the couple’s ministers, Earhardt and Hannity exchanged personal vows, reflecting on their love for each other, their shared faith and the life they look forward to building together. 

The bride wore a gown by Oscar de la Renta for the occasion.

Following the ceremony, guests gathered under a retractable roof for a private reception under the stars at the Everglades Club in Palm Beach, where the newlyweds celebrated alongside loved ones from different chapters of their lives. 

The wedding brought together relatives and longtime friends, including those who have known Hannity since his early days on Long Island and Earhardt’s close friends from South Carolina, as well as colleagues who have been part of their careers over the years.

Among the guests were FOX News Media CEO Suzanne Scott, Fox News president and executive editor Jay Wallace and anchors and hosts, including: Steve Doocy, Lawrence Jones, Brian Kilmeade, Laura Ingraham, Mark Levin, Dana Perino, Bret Baier, Harris Faulkner, Emily Compagno, Bill Hemmer, Martha MacCallum, Kayleigh McEnany, Carley Shimkus, and Trey Gowdy among others.

Fox News host Lara Trump and Eric Trump also attended and were joined by newly minted Fox News contributor Karoline Leavitt and White House chief of staff Susie Wiles. 

Among the other guests in attendance were casino mogul Steve Wynn, philanthropist Julia Koch, entrepreneur and podcast host Patrick Bet-David, podcast host Sage Steele, country music star Lee Greenwood, fitness and podcast personality Jillian Michaels, television personality Nancy Grace, Rascal Flatts frontman Gary LeVox and Five for Fighting’s John Ondrasik.

Also celebrating the couple at the wedding were Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and his wife Casey, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Scavino and his wife Erin, Sen. Tim Scott and his wife Molly, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich and his wife, Ambassador Callista Gingrich.

For Earhardt and Hannity, the wedding was a celebration of more than their marriage. It was a reflection of the faith, friendship and love that brought them together, made especially meaningful by exchanging vows in the same church where their journey toward marriage began.

In joint remarks made following the wedding celebration, the newly married couple said, “Our hearts are overflowing with love and gratitude as we begin this new chapter together as husband and wife. To exchange our vows in our home church where we got engaged, surrounded by our children, families and dearest friends, was more meaningful than we could have ever imagined. Our faith has always been at the center of our relationship, and we truly believe God brought us together. We feel blessed by the outpouring of love and support from the wonderful people in our lives and are excited for the future. Above all, we are grateful to God for bringing us to this moment and for the beautiful life we will continue to build together.”

Prior to Saturday’s wedding, Earhardt and Hannity hosted a private pre-wedding celebration Friday night at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, where President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump joined the couple’s family and friends. The president did not attend Saturday’s wedding ceremony.
