There’s something about a wedding that turns even the most committed cynic into a believer, from the moment a classic R&B love song begins as the wedding party makes its way down the aisle to the moment the groomsmen take a stand as the groom anxiously awaits his spouse-to-be. In these precious moments, we make room for romance, family, culture and the joy of choosing one another. And when it comes to celebrity weddings, it’s the lavishly beautiful declarations we dream about.
Here are the celebrity weddings that moved us to revel in these ‘I dos’ in unity.
Coco Jones and Donovan Mitchell
Coco Jones and NBA star Donovan Mitchell wed on August 1 in Greenwich, Connecticut, surrounded by family, friends and a guest list that brought together entertainment and sports. With a first dance set to Musiq Soulchild’s “Love,” Jones wore a gown featuring a crystal-embellished floral corset, while Mitchell complemented her in a cream suit and customized sneakers marked with their wedding date. The wedding even moved fellow NBA star Jaylen Brown, who told his followers he was ready to find his special someone and welcomed their help.
T.I. and Tameka “Tiny” Harris
T.I. and Tameka “Tiny” Harris marked 16 years of marriage by renewing their vows in Jamaica during an all-white ceremony surrounded by their children, family and close friends. Tiny walked toward T.I. in a white lace corset gown as the couple’s son Major performed “Why I Love You.” The couple ended their recommitment ceremony with fireworks lighting up the sky, reminding us that choosing each other is something that should be done over and over.
Tyler Lepley and Miracle Watts
Tyler Lepley married actress Miracle Watts on July 25. The couple, who met on the set of Starz’s P-Valley, said “I do” in an intimate ceremony in Los Cabos, Mexico, at the Acre Resort. They celebrated their love alongside family and close friends after nearly five years together. The guest list was small and intimate, and instead of a traditional wedding bouquet toss, Watts dedicated her flowers to her mother.
Michael Elliot and Adia May
Screenwriter Michael Elliot and Adia May married on June 26 with a gorgeous ceremony at Cielo Farms in Malibu, California. It was the culmination of a decade-plus-long journey for a couple who met 12 years ago. Pastor Touré Roberts officiated, Sergio Hudson designed May’s gown, J. Ivy delivered poetry, and Stevie Wonder and Common performed, creating the perfect soundtrack to their extended love story.
