Mark Consuelos regrets not asking Kelly Ripas dad for his blessing before proposing to his now-wife.
The Live with Kelly and Mark co-hosts reflected on Consuelos getting down on bended knee in 1996 after analyzing a survey that found half of Americans would propose differently.
I would change one thing, the actor admitted Tuesday. One thing I would change about the whole thing is, I wish I wouldve called your dad.
The actress, 54, sighed and said her father, Joe Ripa, still talks about it to this day.
Really? Consuelos, 53, asked, to which Kelly replied, Yeah.
The Riverdale alum reminded viewers that he proposed to his former All My Children co-star right before they jetted off to Las Vegas to elope.
Because we eloped, that wouldve thrown the whole elopement off, because Im sure he wouldve talked us out of it, Consuelos explained of Joe, which Kelly agreed with.
She theorized that most of their family members wouldve talked [them] out of it, but shared that her mother-in-law, Camilla Consuelos, was the only one who was on board with the idea.
I still shouldve called your dad, Mark reiterated.
Kelly shook off the regret and assured her spouse that her dad is over it.
Mark recalled asking for his fellow soap stars hand in marriage while at his apartment in downtown New York City. He joked that his proposal was similar to the one in the 1979 film Rocky II when Rocky (Sylvester Stallone) proposed to Adrian (Talia Shire) and mimicked it by saying, I was wondering if you wouldnt mind marrying me so much?
It was great, loved it, Kelly raved. I stand by our whole thing. It stuck!
