Don’t expect any vow renewals from Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa any time soon! The couple and co-hosts — who have been married for 27 years — explained why they would never take part in the trend on this morning’s episode of Live with Kelly and Mark.

The co-hosts offered their admission after reading an article suggesting that wedding guests should offer to make the cake for couples getting married.

While they both scoffed at the idea, Ripa pointed out that their producer David Mullen, who happens to be an “extraordinary baker,” is their “very own Martha Stewart.” However, even he said he wouldn’t provide a wedding cake on someone else’s big day — unless, of course, it was for Consuelos and Ripa’s vow renewal ceremony.

“Are we doing that?” executive producer Michael Gelman asked from off-camera, to which the married couple simultaneously said no.

“We’ll call it the kiss of death cake. It’ll come with the divorce papers baked into the cake,” Ripa joked. “Because, you know, we are very superstitious about vow renewals.”

She continued, “This is me — this is my own personal opinion so don’t at me with your like, ‘How dare you.’ I just feel like a vow renewal is a pre-divorce.”

Consuelos added that it’s only something that happens when the “husband messed up big.”

“I’m not talking about leave the toilet seat up, you messed up,” he explained. “I’m talking about messed up.

The duo — who tied the knot in 1997 — went on to detail their “drive-through” wedding in Las Vegas, where the person marrying them didn’t even know their names. While they remembered being told that “marriage is not to be entered into lightly,” Consuelos recalled, “I’m looking around the room. And we’re in Vegas. And it looks like Vegas. I’m like, ‘This is pretty light.'”

Despite the unconventional wedding, the Riverdale alum pointed out that those who get hitched in Vegas usually “stick” together.

“We met other couples who got married there who have also been married for thousands of television years,” Ripa concluded.

Live with Kelly and Mark airs on weekdays at 9/8c on ABC.
