Kelly Ripa couldn't wait to see her producer pal Liza Persky say 'I do.'

The LIVE! With Kelly And Michael host seemed to be having more fun than the bride as she shared a series of Instagrams from the Saturday event.

Kelly, 43, looked smashing in a shimmery silver strapless gown that fit her small frame like a glove and was accessorised by multi-strand pearl necklace and matching earrings along with a silvery clutch.

'I think of myself as the third twin. So happy for my girl,' Kelly tweeted alongside a snapshot of the bride and her twin sister.

Kelly's husband, actor Mark Consuelos, also 43, was at the bash, looking dapper in a red-checked shirt, dark suit and tie.

'Going to the chapel,' Kelly captioned a sweet close-up snap of her and Mark that showed off more of that stunning jewelry around her slim throat.

The beautiful bride has been a producer for The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Dish and other talk shows.

Bruce Bozzi was of course the groom and fourth generation owner of the The Palm Restaurant.

'I'm not only an accomplished dancer - I sing too,' Andy wrote.

Kelly the social butterfly flew over to guest Joan Rivers' side too, and they appeared to be having a marvelous time catching up judging by the cosy snapshot of them at the table.

Joan, 81, even wore a pearl necklace that almost - but not quite - out-shined Kelly's.

Kelly bumped into fellow talk show host Ricki Lake at the reception and tweeted a picture of the two shoulder-to-shoulder.

It looks like a good time was had by all, but especially the bride and groom who shared a tender first dance against a huge light display spelling out the word 'LOVE.'
