Josh Duhamel got rushed to the ER just HOURS ahead of his wedding… after throwing out his back on a party bus
Actor Josh Duhamel nearly missed his own wedding after throwing out his back from ‘pulling some wild dance moves’ on a party bus, the night before their big day.
Days after the lovebirds quietly tied the knot in Fargo, North Dakota, his wife, Audra Mari, 28, told Vogue Australia that the groom was rushed to the emergency room hours before their walk down the aisle.
Despite doctors discovering the actor, 49, had slipped a disc, the former Miss World America revealed he managed to push through the pain with the help of a cortisone shot.
The couple were even able to have their first dance to Buy Dirt by Jordan Davis, and Duhamel didn’t let anything stop him from jumping on stage to perform with the band.
The dad-of-one and pageant queen exchanged vows on Saturday at Olivet Lutheran Church, before riding off in a vintage red convertible.
After their intimate nuptials, the newlyweds stopped by a bar called Duffy’s Tavern to celebrate the occasion by sharing a few drinks with friends.
The Hollywood actor and beauty were first publicly linked as a couple in October 2019.
After nearly two years of dating, Josh popped the big question in January this year at a romantic beach location.
His post showed a photo of the couple standing on the sand, while The Thing About Pam actor held a note that stated, ‘Audra Diane Mari, Will You Marry Me?’
Josh added a caption to the adorable snap, ‘It’s on!! She found a message in a bottle that washed ashore and said YES!!’

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 cheered him up.’ The insider explained that she came into his life at the perfect time.
‘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.’
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in February, Josh gushed about his then-fiancée.

‘She’s an awesome girl, and she’s perfect for me,’ he stated, adding, ‘We’re both from North Dakota, and I think there’s a commonality that we have. She’s great.’
When talking about their wedding plans in May with People, he expressed, ‘I just want there to be great music, I want to have people around that we love, and I want to be present.’
The Hollywood actor was previously married to singer Fergie. The two began dating years back in 2004 and tied the knot five years later in 2009.
They share one son, Axl, and continue to co-parent on good terms. After separating in 2017, their divorce was finalized in 2019.
