Bennett, who acted as the official host of the Times Square New Year’s Eve Celebration in partnership with KAY Jewelers, said in the interview that his slow dance with Vaughan during the ceremony is his favorite moment from the day.

Bennett also gushed about their special song, composed, sung, and recorded exclusively by Vaughan. The much-in-love couple waltzed around the room to the song which is named ‘Our Song’. 

Bennett shared that the song completely took him off guard and it was the surprise of a lifetime. He said, "My adrenaline was pumping so hard, but being at the reception and getting to dance our first dance to 'Our Song' was unforgettable.”

He continued to reminisce about the wedding saying, "We got to slow dance to the song and I got to hear my husband sing it. Then there were fireworks and all of our friends and family were around us.”

He added, "It was a moment that looked like a Hallmark movie that I'm in. So it was like for the first time I was living my actual Hallmark movie fantasy."

The ‘Access Hollywood’ star Vaughan chimed in saying that watching Bennett in their wedding made him emotional.

For a long time, Bennett has been a staple in Hallmark movies as he starred in several films including ‘The Christmas House’, ‘Wedding of a Lifetime’ among others.

Vaughan said that watching Bennett live his Hallmark movie dream made him emotional.

The TV host said, “It was really special because I go on set and see him at a lot of his movies. Now it felt like I got to live in one.”

He recalled, "There was a point in the wedding where I grabbed him and was like, 'Baby, this feels like I'm on one of your sets, but this is real.' "

Vaughan added, "He started with singing a couple of lines from 'For Good' from Wicked, which is his favorite musical, and I was like, 'Oh, these are sweet and this is how Jonathan's expressing himself. My baby is doing exactly what I expected. I love it.’”

"But then he went into these the most gorgeous vows that I've ever heard," he went on to reminisce.

However, he also added,  "I was an absolute wreck. I had no idea, to be honest, that he was capable of writing something like that, although I should have known based on some of the Hallmark movies he's created, but I didn't know he had those words in him."

When they were asked about what was the most surprising thing they've experienced in married life, Bennett explained, "I wasn't expecting the honeymoon phase to last as long as it is," before adding, "We feel like we got married yesterday."

However, Vaughan said for him it wasn't surprising as he knew how the marriage would be played out even before the wedding.

He explained, "There's not anything surprising because I married the right person," before adding, "Properly vet your fiancés before you marry them!"

Bennett, nevertheless added that, "There's relaxed comfort in the relationship," and noted, "Once you're married, you just exhale into it. Like, 'Yeah, that's my husband.'"
