General Hospital star Kate Mansi married producer Matt McInnis in downtown LA on Saturday following an 11-month engagement.
The 37-year-old bride and the 41-year-old groom surprised their 115 guests, who believed they were attending a long-delayed engagement party, with a full-blown wedding at cathedral-turned-restaurant Redbird.
'We wanted that eruption of joy, that moment where love just takes over the room,' Kate (born Katharine Morris) told People on Tuesday.
'The element of discovery was everything. The relief when the secret was out was unforgettable.'
Mansi and McInnis even donned 'decoy' ensembles before she changing into her 'dream' Newhite wedding dress from LOHO Bride, and he changed into a custom suit from Malibu Clothes.
Ark actor Thomas Dekker officiated the couple's nuptials which were also attended by Fluxx actress Shelley Hennig, Home Improvement alum Jonathan Taylor Thomas, Wonder Years alum Alley Mills, and The Rookie's Britt Robertson.
It was Hennig who originally brought Kate and Matt together since they met at her birthday party 'a few years ago' before going Instagram official in 2023.
During the vows, Mansi revealed: 'We put a hand on our own hearts and said, "I got you," then did the same to each other. We invited our community to join us in that vow — to support us and each other.'
The Daytime Emmy winner added of their 'deeply personal' ceremony: 'The entire evening was meant to mirror our relationship - unexpected, full of humor, moving to its own rhythm, and rooted in deep connection.'
The Toronto-born Canadian stated that he's 'never met a braver human being than Katie.'
'She inspires me. She makes everyone around her better by nurturing qualities in them which even they may not see at first,' McInnis gushed.
'Her ability to love with her whole heart and wide eyes is the greatest gift a person could ever receive.'
The formerly long-distance pair added: 'Marriage to us is building [life] brick by brick with a partner who's truly all in.'
Kate and Matt are already proud parents to 20-month-old Doodle siblings, Stanley and Georgie, whom they adopted in November 2023.
McInnis is headed for London soon to begin producing a new project with Amazon MGM Studios.
Mansi is the fourth actress to portray Kristina Davis in ABC soap opera General Hospital, who's the troubled daughter of mob boss Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and attorney Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn).
The SoCal native previously played Abigail Deveraux in NBC soap opera Days of Our Lives from 2011-2016.
