They shared details about their big day during an interview with People.
Anneliese and Johnno were planning a small wedding ceremony to take place in South Carolina. However, her dream of eloping came true after Johnno booked a new acting project.
“So I got my way. Yay,” she joked. “I wanted to be on Johnno’s SAG health insurance as soon as possible and I didn’t want to miss the 2024 joint filing deadline! Romantic, I know.”
Now that they are married, they are considering a belated reception to celebrate in the spring. There is also talk of a European honeymoon.
“To be honest, the only thing that was important to me was that the exchanging of our vows and our commitment to each other be private,” Anneliese said. “My mother is no longer with us, and we didn’t want to stress anyone else out about travel, lodging, etc. We’re 40 and in love so that’s plenty for me.”
She added that her sisters found the dress that she wore for the ceremony. It was purchased for $98.
“I want Johnno to be a witness to my life, and I want to be a witness to his … He matches my silliness and doesn’t take life or himself too seriously. I love that and need that so much,” she gushed.
