Here's Joe Kernen talking about his marriage: 

My wife Penelope and I were married on a golf course, on the 18th tee of the.Four Seasons Kona Hualalai. At least we think we were married. It was a Hawaiian guy performing the ceremony and I'm not really sure what he said.

Kernen added:

But it was beautiful. It was just us. We played golf on the morning of our wedding and we played golf the next day, too. That's a pretty good way to have a marriage and a honeymoon.

Not sure what the officiator really said at your wedding, well, that's quite a way to get married
