Josh Duhamel seemingly said the words, ‘I do,’ to his fiancee, Audra Mari, earlier on Saturday in his home state of North Dakota, reported TMZ.

The Transformers alum, 49, and former beauty pageant competitor, 28, reportedly tied the knot during a scenic rooftop ceremony at a location known as the Jasper Hotel in a city called Fargo, a source informed the outlet.

Chris Litton, the owner of Duffy’s, told TMZ that when Josh and Audra stopped by with a few others, the affair appeared to be ‘casual’ and stress free. 

The two photos the tavern shared onto its Facebook page showed the newlyweds standing closely next to each other with big smiles on their faces, while kicking off the celebration of their nuptials with a few drinks. 

A second photo showed the cheerful couple sitting in the back of a red convertible as they headed to their next destination. 

According to the publication, it is unclear if Josh and Audra were stopping by multiple bars to celebrate, or had a special reception planned.

Shortly after the couple became engaged, a source opened up to People about how Josh’s life has changed since Audra came into it. 

‘He seemed a bit gloomy after his divorce and Audra definitely cheered him up. She came into his life at the perfect time,’ the insider explained. 

‘They live a pretty quiet life in L.A. They often grab dinner in Malibu and walk on the beach. They have friends over for barbecues.’ 

A separate source also weighed in on their engagement to the entertainment publication, stating that the two want to have children of their own.
