MSNBC Anchor Nicolle Wallace Marries Longtime Partner Michael Schmidt

Nicolle Wallace and Michael Schmidt Wedding Ceremony

Nicolle Wallace, anchor of MSNBC's Deadline: White House, tied the knot with her partner of over a decade, Michael Schmidt, on June 25th. The intimate outdoor ceremony was held at Wallace's waterfront home in Connecticut.

Low-Key Celebration With Close Friends and Family

Wallace, 50, is a familiar face in cable news but opted for a private, casual celebration to marry Schmidt. Only close family and friends attended the barefoot ceremony on the lawn overlooking Long Island Sound. Wallace wore a simple white lace dress while Schmidt wore khakis and a button-down.

Informal Buffet and String Lights Setting the Relaxed Tone

Rather than a traditional sit-down dinner or dance party, the newlyweds served a buffet-style meal for guests to enjoy at their leisure. Small touches like mismatched vintage chairs and string lights overhead created a magical yet cozy atmosphere as the sun went down.

Nicolle Wallace and Michael Schmidt's Relationship History

Wallace and Schmidt have been together for over 10 years but kept their romance out of the public eye. They met in 2010 when Schmidt worked as a Politico editor and Wallace was John McCain's 2008 campaign communications director.

A Foundation of Trust, Respect and Support

Despite busy careers, they've built a strong bond rooted in mutual encouragement of each other's success. Friends say Schmidt brings out Wallace's fun side while she credits him as her "rock" through challenges. He traveled extensively with her on the McCain campaign trail.

Wedding Toast Highlights Their Partnership

In a toast, Wallace praised Schmidt's support of her career pivots over the years, even when it meant long periods apart. Schmidt kept his remarks short but heartfelt, saying Wallace was "the one" since their first dinner together.

Wallace Daughters and Dog Part of Wedding Party

Wallace's twin daughters from a previous marriage served as flower girls. Her daughter Blake also read a poem. The couple's terrier mix Meatball participated in the celebration as well.

A Perfect Representation of Their Relationship

Wallace said the low-key celebration perfectly represented their bond - full of warmth, love, and mutual commitment despite busy lives. The couple now begins married life continuing to motivate one another both personally and professionally.
