Oprah designer Nate Berkus marries fiancé Jeremiah Brent

Interior designer and US TV personality Nate Berkus married his fiancé Jeremiah Brent in a ceremony at the New York Public Library yesterday (May 3).

Berkus and Brent, who got engaged just over a year ago, became the first same-sex couple to hold a wedding at the famous New York landmark.

Berkus, 42, is best known for his appearances offering design advice on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Brent, 29, is also an interior designer and TV personality. The pair appeared together in a recent campaign for US fashion brand Banana Republic.

Among the other 220 guests at the ceremony were Oprah Winfrey, celebrity chef Rachael Ray and Cougar Town‘s Busy Philipps, People reports.

Berkus spoke to E! recently about Brent’s proposal in the exotic location of Machu Picchu, Peru. “I fell apart – like full ugly-girl kind of cry. I mean, my kids are screwed. They are going to say, ‘Dad proposed to dad in Peru. What are you going to do for your significant other?'” he recalled.

Berkus was previously in a long-term relationship with photographer Fernando Bengoechea, who tragically lost his life in Sri Lanka’s 2004 tsunami.
