2026 Weddings Spark a Star-Studded “I Do” Wave

From Vanna White and John Donaldson to Maya Hawke and Christian Lee Hutson, a string of major celebrity weddings marked 2026 with surprising Valentine ceremonies and dreamy Chicago vows.
The chapel season didn’t just show up in 2026 — it arrived in full celebrity spotlight, with wedding bells ringing across TV, film, reality shows, and Hallmark romances.
Vanna White, the Wheel of Fortune star, brought in the new year with a wedding to her now-husband, John Donaldson. Later that same month, Iyanna McNeely — known for Love Is Blind season 2 — married boyfriend Alex Lewis in a dreamy Chicago ceremony.
Then, the “I do” moments started coming in quick succession. Stranger Things star Maya Hawke said “I do” to longtime boyfriend Christian Lee Hutson in a surprise Valentine’s Day ceremony the next month. Hallmark star Hunter King followed on a similarly romantic calendar, holding her nuptials to Chris Copier on the romantic holiday.
By June, the wave only widened. Reality TV stars Jasmine Goode, Blake Horstmann, and Jenni “JWoww” Farley all said “I do” to their respective partners in June. Actor Logan Lerman also got hitched that month, exchanging vows with longtime love Ana Corrigan.
All of these weddings land in the same place — a busy. celebrity-saturated timeline where big TV names and reality stars are choosing the same year to take a major leap. From the new year to Valentine’s Day to June. the celebrations span different shows and styles. but the message stays consistent: 2026 turned marriage into a headline.
The calendar keeps moving, but the pattern from early 2026 to midyear is hard to miss: stars weren’t just making appearances — they were committing to partners, in ceremonies that ranged from Chicago dreams to surprise holiday vows.

Wait so all these people just picked 2026 for the vibes or something?
I don’t care about their wedding dates but Valentine’s Day weddings sound exhausting like can you imagine trying to be romantic and also schedule photographers. Also Chicago vows?? seems like a PR thing.
Love Is Blind being in Chicago again or is that just the article mixing stuff up? I swear I saw a clip where Iyanna didn’t marry Alex or maybe it was a different Alex? Then Maya Hawke Valentine wedding, okay so everyone’s just copying each other’s timelines. Next thing you know it’ll be 2026 is cursed or something.
Vanna White getting married in the same year as like JWoww and Logan Lerman?? That’s actually crazy, like is there some celebrity wedding cartel? Also why do they always do the “dreamy Chicago ceremony” wording like it’s not just a church lol. I’m not even hating, I just feel like every month is “surprise vows” now and my feed is gonna be nonstop forever.
