Josh Duhamel reveals he was in the ER two hours before his wedding to model Audra Mari
Josh Duhamel reveals that he almost missed his own wedding to model wife Audra Mari when he was rushed to the hospital just two hours before they exchanged vows.
Josh Duhamel almost didn’t make it to his wedding to Audra Mari as he was rushed to the ER just hours before the ceremony.
The 50-year-old Hollywood actor said he strained his back two hours before marrying the 28-year-old model last September.
Speaking with Nova’s Kent ‘Smallzy’ Small about Thursday’s ordeal, he said he “had to try” just so he could walk down the aisle.

You have recently had two weddings in your life. A real one, a movie one, which was more eventful? said radio host Smallzy, referring to Duhamel’s role in the recent shotgun wedding.
“Well, I would have to say the real one because it was real and it was almost as eventful when I really think about it,” the Emmy Award winner replied.
“After spraining my back the night before, I literally had to go to the ER two hours before the wedding to get shot so I could walk down the aisle.”
The Hollywood actor said he pulled his back two hours before marrying the model last September.
Duhamel and Mari were married on September 10, 2022 at Olivet Lutheran Church in Fargo, North Dakota.
The Transformers alum and former Miss World America tied the knot, then hopped in a vintage red convertible to drive around town in celebration.
After their intimate nuptials, the newlyweds stopped at a bar called Duffy’s Tavern to celebrate the occasion by sharing drinks with friends.

The bar posted photos of the bride and groom in a tuxedo and full wedding dress on its own Facebook page.
Chris Litton, the owner of Duffy’s, told TMZ that when Duhamel and Mari stopped by with a few others, the affair seemed casual and stress-free.
The two photos the tavern shared on its page showed the newlyweds standing side by side smiling and having drinks to kick off their wedding celebration.
“After spraining my back the night before, I literally had to go to the ER two hours before the wedding to get shot so I could walk down the aisle,” she said.
A second photo showed the cheerful couple sitting in the back of a red convertible as they headed to their next destination.
Duhamel shared a recent selfie to his Instagram Story on Friday wearing a Fargo Brewing cap, which just so happens to be the city where the two tied the knot on Saturday.
The Hollywood actor and Miss World America 2016 were first publicly linked as a couple in October 2019.
