Melissa Rivers Marries Steve Mitchel in Intimate Ceremony—Featuring a Nod to Mom Joan Rivers – E! Online

Melissa Rivers’ biggest show yet was still going to go on. 

Joan Rivers and Edgar Rosenberg’s daughter officially tied the knot with Los Angeles attorney Steve Mitchel in an intimate Wyoming ceremony March 15, despite the couple’s home burning down just two months before. 

“We were going to cancel,” Melissa—who got engaged to Steve in November 2023—told People in an article published March 20. “I was tapping out, like ‘I just can’t do this.’ And that’s when my friends stepped in and said, ‘We are doing this’ because a number of people who are coming lost their homes too, and they were like, ‘Thank God we have this to look forward to.’”

Ultimately, the 57-year-old decided that the celebration of the couple’s major milestone was just what she—and her friends—needed. As she put it, “I also knew that we were all going to want to go away for a weekend to get out of all this chaos and rest our brains.”
