Mark Wahlberg Skips Brother Donnie’s Wedding To Jenny McCarthy

Over the weekend Donnie Wahlberg and Jenny McCarthy tied the knot, but younger brother Mark and his family couldn't make it. The celebrity couple were married on Sunday in a small ceremony with only close friends and family in attendance. They decided on having the wedding in Illinois, near McCarthy's hometown.

According to TMZ, Mark wasn't the only Wahlberg to skip out on Donnie and Jenny's Wedding. Momma Wahlberg, Alma, couldn't be there due to a fear of flying, along with brother Bobby.

Mark's excuse for not attending his brother's wedding has drawn a bit of controversy. Apparently, Mark's daughter, Ella Rae had a birthday party planned for the weekend also, which took place in Los Angeles. Her birthday is actually on Sept. 2, but Mark is scheduled to film in Boston that day.

Birthday or not, don't you have to attend your brother's wedding???

There have been rumors that Mark and his family actually chose not to attend the wedding because of a feud with McCarthy, however Mark's reps have denied these claims. Perhaps in an attempt to cease the rumors, or just to show some love for Donnie, Mark posted his congratulations to the newlyweds on Instagram. Check out the video below.
