Former The Young and the Restless star Sean Carrigan has officially tied the knot! The actor, who played Dr. Ben “Stitch” Rayburn, married his longtime love, Jazmin Tempske, in New Orleans on October 11. And while their wedding had plenty of memorable touches, one detail makes it especially sweet for Y&R fans. A familiar face from Genoa City helped the couple say “I do.”
Key Takeaways
- Sean Carrigan married Jazmin Tempske in New Orleans on October 11.
- Y&R star Christian J. LeBlanc officiated the ceremony.
- The couple included their children in the celebration, along with some distinctly New Orleans wedding traditions.
Christian Le Blanc Had a Special Role in Sean Carrigan’s Wedding
Carrigan and Tempske didn’t have to look far for the perfect person to officiate their wedding. They chose Carrigan’s former Y&R co-star Christian Le Blanc, who plays Michael Baldwin.
As Carrigan explained to Soap Opera Digest, Le Blanc is one of their closest friends, and they’ve spent plenty of time together in New Orleans, where LeBlanc is from.
“He exudes New Orleans culture, so how could we not have him officiate?” Carrigan told the publication.
We love that their friendship continued long after Carrigan left Genoa City. And having Michael Baldwin himself officiate your wedding? That’s a pretty fantastic connection to your soap opera past.
Their Children Made the Wedding a Family Affair
The couple exchanged vows at the Hotel Saint Vincent in New Orleans’ Lower Garden District, but the celebration wasn’t just about the bride and groom. Their 13-month-old daughter, Susan Maxine, affectionately called Susie Max, served as flower girl. Tempske’s son, Cayden Charlesworth, walked his mother down the aisle, while her son, Shepard Charlesworth, took on ring bearer duties.
Those personal touches made the occasion especially meaningful. Instead of simply celebrating their marriage, Carrigan and Tempske included their children in the moment they officially became husband and wife.
This Wasn’t Your Typical Wedding Reception
The couple embraced New Orleans’ personality throughout their celebration, and some of the details sound like an absolute blast. A string trio performed instrumental versions of Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters” and Guns N’ Roses’ “Sweet Child O’ Mine” during the ceremony.
Later, guests enjoyed a brass band, dancing, tarot card readings, and blackjack tables. There was even a late-night hot dog cart.
Y&R viewers remember Carrigan’s Stitch for his troubled marriage to Abby and his disturbing return in 2021, when he kidnapped a pregnant Mariah.
Thankfully, Carrigan’s real-life love story has a much happier chapter. Congratulations to the newlyweds!
