Speaking of their wedding day, Anna continued: "It was awesome. It feels great. It was at a local courthouse up in Washington state. It was great."

Fans were not the only ones surprised by the couple's nuptials; their families were also left in the dark.

"We saw my family, and it kind of slipped out the same way," Anna recalled. "My aunt asked me, 'You are going to be a stepmom. How are you feeling about that?' and I said, 'Well, actually, I am a stepmom as of like four days ago, but it was great.' Everything about it just felt right."
