( CNN ) -- Wedding bells rang for three different celebrity couples over Labor Day weekend . In Miami , basketball star Dwyane Wade tied the knot with actress Gabrielle Union on Saturday , the same weekend that Ashlee Simpson -- the musical younger sister of Jessica Simpson -- reportedly wed Diana Ross ' actor son Evan in Connecticut , and Donnie Wahlberg said `` I do '' to Jenny McCarthy . Wade and Union , who 've been an item since 2008 , set their nuptials apart with the hashtag # thewadeunion , which they used to share their special moment with fans . `` Happy , '' a smiling Union wrote on Instagram Saturday . `` All my loved ones are in town ... Today is a good day ... I must say I 'm feeling blessed and humbled and just freakin happy . '' She later posted a photo of the newly bound Wade-Union family , which includes Wade 's nephew and his two sons from his prior marriage . Union , 41 , wore a strapless Dennis Basso gown that she helped design . `` Thank you thank you thank you @ DennisBasso for helping me design THE most perfect gowns for the most special night of my life ... So grateful ... So happy , '' the actress posted on Instagram with a photo of her wedding day look . Not to be outdone , Miami Heat star Wade , 32 , was heavily involved in the wedding planning , including securing his look for the evening . `` ( Union ) had input , but when we started it was 85/15 leading my way , '' Wade told The New York Times of Saturday 's outdoor affair , which had a black-and-white theme and an afterparty . ( In the end , the planning duties between Wade and his bride-to-be were more like `` 70/30 . '' ) Over in Connecticut , Simpson and Ross reportedly tied the knot at Diana Ross ' home . According to People magazine , the ceremony was attended by close friends and family , including Simpson 's sister , Jessica , and Simpson 's 5-year-old son Bronx Mowgli , whose father is her ex-husband Pete Wentz . Simpson , 29 , and Ross , 26 , were first linked back in July 2013 , and announced their engagement in January . Closing out the love-filled holiday weekend was New Kids on the Block star Wahlberg and former `` The View '' personality McCarthy , who swapped vows in Chicago . Wahlberg 's brother , actor Mark , could n't attend , but he did send the couple his best wishes in a video on Facebook . Wahlberg 's NKOTB bandmates , including Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre , were in attendance , along with McCarthy 's former `` View '' co-host Sherri Shepherd . It was on the ABC talk show that McCarthy , 41 , announced her engagement to Wahlberg , 45 , in April . This is the second marriage for both .
