About an hour and a half after Anouk opened her concert, the stage was replaced by a large arch with white roses. Not much later, 28-year-old Dominique appeared among them.
The singer Michelle David then put in the favorite song of the newlyweds, after which Anouk also came on stage. She wore a white dress and a long white veil on her head. Anouk’s children were also present at the ceremony.
Role model
The groom said that while he was writing the vows, one word kept coming up, and that was pure. “You are a pure woman, always positive no matter what happens. Besides beautiful, you are also loving and caring, not only for me and your family but for everyone you touch. You are a true role model and I hope that my children like be you.”
After Dominique’s words, Anouk wanted to kiss her soon-to-be, but the wedding official put a stop to that. “Ho ho ho, you’re going too fast!” she cried with a laugh.
Unusual setting
Then it was the turn of the 47-year-old singer to tell why she wanted to marry Schemmekes. But not before she had recovered from her husband-to-be’s words with a sip of water. “I now understand why you wanted to be the first,” Anouk joked. Then she referred to the unusual setting and venue for the wedding. “Who would have thought that we would be standing here tonight on the Malieveld with about 40,000 people?” she said, after which loud laughter came from the field full of spectators.

Anouk then recalled a personal memory of the time when she met Dominique. “At that time I was in quite a dark period in my life, and I can still remember very well praying for a soul mate almost every day. A soul mate who would be honest, caring, loyal and above all loving towards the children A real role model But above all someone who could understand me Someone with whom I could share my vision And someone with whom I would feel free enough to be myself, without any judgment And I have found it all in you,” said the singer.
Rings exchanged
After the two were finally allowed to kiss and the rings were also exchanged, Anouk grabbed the microphone to play the last songs of her concert in her wedding dress.

The singer has adopted the surname Schemmekes from her husband. Beforehand, Anouk had asked visitors to dress festively for the wedding, but she did not need any wedding gifts. People could instead make a donation to Triple ThreaT, the singer previously reported on Instagram. This is an organization that works for young people.
Anouk told Jinek in April that she would like to get married during the intermezzo of her own show. Her boyfriend wanted the largest possible wedding. “And yes, it can’t get any bigger.” The couple had been engaged since 2020, after the singer proposed to Dominique, and have a daughter together. The singer has been married twice before and has a total of six children.
‘Who is Anouk?’
In the AD Anouk has opened a book about their meeting. “I met him when he was twenty, in 2015. He was the basketball coach of Benjahmin, my oldest. He didn’t even know who I was. Someone said: that’s Anouk. He asked: who is Anouk?” She had just given birth to her son Sion and said she weighed 98 kilos. “It wasn’t that I thought: oh my god, how attractive I am. But he said: how beautiful you are!”
