Kelly Ripa had some thoughts to undress this morning on Live with Kelly and Mark. In light of Monday morning’s nude cruise discussion, Ripa revealed that an Italian beach town is “planning nude weddings.”
“Because nothing says ‘I love you’ like seeing your in-laws naked,” she quipped with feigned fury. “And seeing your whole future spelled out for you in real time.”
Mark Consuelos asked where these nude nuptials will be taking place. Ripa told him Benas Beach in Sardinia, but her husband and co-host wasn’t sure if he was familiar with the destination. Nonetheless, he recalled visiting Italy during the summers after he moved to the U.S.
“The beaches there in Southern Italy, it’s you know, a lot of topless… topless situations happening,” he shared, noting that he was 13 or 14 at the time of his visit.
After Ripa teased that Consuelos “must have been so excited,” he said that “there were people from different countries that would come and you could always tell the difference.”
Although Ripa was curious, teasing “let’s explore,” Consuelos remained mum on what he meant.
“I’ll leave it at that,” he said with a chuckle.

Ripa then shared “what the Italians are saying” for those who take issue with the idea.
“If anyone has a problem with it, they can walk past or look at the sea,” she said. While Consuelos said he agrees, Ripa still couldn’t wrap her mind around the concept.
“I just don’t understand having a nude wedding… Look, I’m not a prude, by the way! I don’t mind nudity at all. I am naked half the time,” she quipped. “As a matter of fact, after this show’s over, guess what I’m going to do backstage? Take off this dress.”
Consuelos took a different approach, telling viewers, “I say let your freak flag fly. Let it go, if you are going to get married.”
