Josh Duhamel rushed to the ER the night before his wedding

Instead of getting a good night's rest before his wedding, actor Josh Duhamel found himself in the emergency room after busting too hard of a move.

His bride, 28-year-old model Audra Mari, told Vogue Australia that her 49-year-old husband-to-be was "pulling some wild dance moves on the party bus," when his back suddenly gave out.

The actor was rushed to the hospital where it was discovered that he had a slipped disc - but this didn't worry the soon-to-be newlyweds in the least, with their reaction being, "Cue the cortisone shot, and let's get married!"

The couple got married in Fargo, North Dakota, their hometown.

"It was the most important thing for us," said Mari, "Not only is it home to us, but it was so convenient for everyone we love to get to.

"I guess the romantic in me always feels like we're just two small-town kids from North Dakota who found each other in Los Angeles. But we will always always be home, no matter where we are in the world."

The ceremony had old world charm, being held in a former railroad shop, Drekker Brewing Company, which the couple adored for it's "rich history". "The stunning masonry and beautiful arched windows added so much character," told Mari.

The bride wore a dress from Australian designer Leah Da Gloria, a long-sleeved, full-skirted number called "Linden".

"I was searching Pinterest for ideas after we got engaged, like most brides do," said Mari, "When I came across a photo of this dress, the second I saw it, I knew it was it."

The dress also featured beaded floral appliqués that bloomed along the neckline and around the waist, a thigh-high slit, and a scarf collar, which Mari chose to pair with a classic '60s ponytail, sharp winged eyeliner and rose-toned makeup.

The groom wore a dapper tailcoat tuxedo, handmade by Ralph Lauren.

Duhamel's proposal was equally as romantic as their wedding ceremony.

"We were vacationing on Little Palm Island for my birthday on January 8 this year, and went for a sunset walk on the beach," Mari recalled.

Suddenly a bottle with a message inside washed up on shore. Duhamel tipped it out and read the paper.

"It said, 'Will you marry me, Audra Diane Mari?' I cried, he cried—I'm not sure I even answered his question, I was in such shock! He stared at me a little bit longer and said, 'Well…?' And I looked at him and said, 'Well, duh!'. It was the easiest 'yes' there ever was."
