Vanna White gave a few lucky âWheel of Fortuneâ fans the surprise of a lifetime â by crashing their wedding in the Bahamas.
The longtime TV host, 68, appeared at the myVIP World Tournament of Slots, an exclusive event hosted by playSTUDIOS at Atlantis Paradise Island from October 22 to 26. Two couples decided to tie the knot during the tournament, but they had no idea White would be part of their big day.
Vanna White Walked ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Fans Down the Aisle
In a video shared on the tournamentâs official Instagram account on October 26, White whispered to the camera before the surprise: âIâm about to surprise some people, so shhh.â
The clip then showed two brides smiling as they prepared to walk down the aisle. Just before they began, White gently placed a hand on each womanâs shoulder. âHey girls, how are you?â she said warmly. One of the brides turned around in shock, exclaiming, âOh my god!â
White then delivered the ultimate twist. âIâm going to walk you guys down the aisle,â she said. âIâm going to take you to your men.â
The video captured White leading the brides toward their grooms as the guests erupted in applause. It was a full-circle moment for two couples who had bonded over their shared love of âWheel of Fortune.â
The Puzzle-Turner Says the Surprise ‘Warmed Her Heart’
Following the event, White told Parade that the experience left her emotional. âI had tears in my eyes watching this wedding,â she said. âTo see these brides walk out and be able to connect them with their soon-to-be husbands at that moment was so special to me. I love doing things like this. It just warms my heart.â
The myVIP World Tournament invited 500 guests to compete for a $1 million grand prize. But for two fans, the real prize came when one of televisionâs most beloved personalities joined them for their vows.
This isnât the first time White has played a role in a fanâs love story. In January, she and co-host Ryan Seacrest helped a former contestantâs boyfriend propose on set. âRobin, the boyfriend of former contestant Rhea, reached out for our help in asking her a big question,â White said in a YouTube clip shared by the show.
The puzzle Rhea solved read, âWill You Marry Me?â â a fitting moment for the showâs 50th anniversary celebration.
After more than four decades of turning letters, cheering on contestants, and becoming a fixture of pop culture, White has done it all â even walked brides down the aisle.
