The necessary position Carson Daly performed in Gwen & Blake’s marriage ceremony

Keep it in the The Voice family.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani recruited a close friend to officially pronounce them husband and wife: Carson Daly. That’s right, the NBC contest series host was hosting the couple’s July 3 wedding in Oklahoma, Today confirmed, shortly after the couple shared footage of the ceremony online.

The trio has grown very closely together over the years thanks to their time at The Voice. In fact, Daly couldn’t help but tease his buddy Shelton in 2015 after he and Stefani first went public with their romance. “I didn’t think Blake could make a girl as hot as Gwen, to be honest,” he said on Today. “He’s a silly cowboy. She is the queen of cool. But God bless them. They are two of the nicest people in the business. “

Daly even advised Stefani against seeing Shelton early on. “When you started dating Blake five years ago, you’ll remember that we went back to your house, your old LA house, and I put you and Blake in the kitchen,” Carson recalled during Stefani’s performance in January 2021 today. “And I said, ‘You guys, hit the brakes. That’s not good. It won’t work.
