'Checking in from heaven': Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg posed for their first newlywed selfie in a Twitter snap posted Tuesday

The talk show host flashes her new sparkling rings in the snap, which she posted to her Twitter account on Tuesday.

The pair look to be celebrating somewhere fancy, with Jenny wearing a smart black ensemble and glittering diamond earrings and Donnie sporting a suit and tie.

'Mr & Mrs Wahlberg, checking in from heaven. Thank you for all of your well wishes. #happy,' she captioned the shot.

You may now kiss the bride! Jenny McCarthy and Donnie Wahlberg are officially husband and wife after exchanging vows during an intimate ceremony at Hotel Baker in St Charles, Illinois on Sunday evening

In a weekend jam-packed with celebrity nuptials, the couple exchanged vows in an intimate yet glamorous ceremony at Hotel Baker in St Charles, Illinois on Sunday evening in front of just a handful of their closet friends and family members.

Lasting just 20 minutes and held in the historic venue's grand ballroom, the ceremony then gave way to a reception befitting the fun-loving pair.

The blushing bride was positively radiant in her strapless white gown, which she is said to have picked up at high-end department store Bergdorf Goodman's bridal shop in July.

The sexy frock was the perfect choice for the glamazon, the fitted bodice accentuating her ample cleavage and tiny waist, the full ruffled skirt with long train adding some drama.

A long veil trailed along behind her, attached at the crown, her long platinum blonde tresses styled
in gorgeous curls with a sideswept fringe.

Va-va-voom! The 41-year-old looked very inch the glamazon in her white strapless gown, which she is said to have bought from high-end department store Bergdorf Goodman's bridal shop in July, featuring ruffled detail on the full skirt which flowed out into a long, dramatic train

Her face was made up impeccably, with a complementary golden base, a deep bronze highlighting her razor-sharp cheekbones, dark smoky shadow and ruby red lips.

She carried a stunning bouquet of deep red roses, while the theme was continued out into the garden, where matching rose buds were scattered throughout the green hedging.

Her groom looked dapper in his classic black tuxedo and crisp white shirt, a matching rose adorning his lapel.

Hitting all the right notes: The mom-of-one was the picture of perfection in her get-up, the deep red flowers standing out against the stark white of her gown, the look pulled together with a swipe of matching red lipstick and dramatic heavy bronze make-up

They can't get enough of each other! The newlyweds couldn't resist sneaking in some kisses as they headed out to the hotel's gorgeous green grounds to have their photos taken

Likewise, she told People that at the end of the day 'as long as the heart is in the ceremony' she didn't care if they got married 'in Kentucky Fried Chicken'.

The venue was of course much more upscale than the fast food restaurant, the ceremony and reception taking place at the hotel just minutes away from the 41-year-old's bride's home in Geneva.

While the groom's youngest sibling Mark didn't attend the festivities, citing daughter Ella's birthday
as the reason, brothers Paul and Jim and mom Alma were all spotted arriving at the venue earlier
in the day.

Also in attendance were the 45-year-old's New Kids On The Block bandmates Jordan Knight, Jonathan Knight and Danny Wood.

Wahlburgers head chef Paul was dressed down in beige cargo pants and a faded black T-shirt, a moss green cap covering his head as he arrived, warmly welcomed by a number of fans who had gathered in the street.

Jenny's The View co-host Sherri Shepherd also made the trek to be front and centre at the nuptials, sharing an Instagram photo with fans as she jetted in from LA on Sunday morning.

Jenny McCarthy, Donnie Wahlberg dish on their wedding plans

When you know, you know! The couple have enjoyed a whirlwind romance, having got together in July 2013 before Donnie popped the question in April, which his bride-to-be announced on The View on April 16

'Catching an early morning flight to @jennyannmccarthy & @donniewahlberg's wedding ... What a beautiful day to join as one before God! Congrats to two beautiful people!' she captioned the snap.

Upon arriving at the hotel, the 47-year-old then proceeded to take a number of selfies as she posed in front of the grand architecture, pulling some rather hilarious faces in the process.

She was dressed comfortably from her flight in a midnight blue dress featuring a parachute hemline and plunging zippered neck, teamed with strappy tan leather peep-toe wedges.

This is the second marriage for both, who have been together since July 2013, while the actor popped the question in April this year, which Jenny happily revealed on The View on April 16.

Donnie has two children - sons Xavier, 21, and Elijah, 13 - from his marriage to Kim Fey and Jenny has one child, son Evan, 12, from her marriage to John Mallory Asher.

No-show: On Saturday, Mark Wahlberg prematurely congratulated brother Donnie and his bride-to-be Jenny on their marriage, seemingly oblivious to the fact that their wedding wasn't happening until the following day
