The Intimate Ceremony
“Oh my God. It was the most beautiful wedding. St. Lucia is the most beautiful place and it was absolutely stunning,” she says. “There were only 10 of us total and the hotel did everything. They had a package and I picked the cake and the food. We did everything on the beach so there wasn’t a lot of planning.
RHOA fans will recognize many of Kenya's loved ones in attendance for the nuptials, including her best friend Brandon DeShazer, who walked her down the aisle, Aunt Lori, Aunt Lisa, and her bestie from high school, Shonda. Kenya's father could not attend the "last-minute" ceremony because was celebrating his birthday in Jamaica at the time.
“We wanted something simple [and] not overly complicated,” Kenya told PEOPLE, adding that Marc is "extremely romantic" and was incredibly involved in the big day.
Kenya and Marc each wrote their own wedding vows, though the RHOA entrepreneur "ended up just saying what I felt from my heart" during the ceremony because she "was so emotional, I just couldn't get through without this really big ugly cry."
The newlyweds and their guests then partied on the beach after the ceremony in a reception that featured food, cocktails, and a Caribbean steel pan band. “This was the best experience of my life,” Kenya gushed. “We had a mini honeymoon there in St. Lucia after the wedding and it was glorious. I’m so happy that we chose to get married there because the people could not be more gracious to us and kind and more supportive. They really welcomed us on that island and treated us like royalty.”

Kenya Moore opened up about her wedding day to businessman, Marc Daly in a recent interview. “My aunt was there,” Moore told Bravo. “Aunt Laurie, who we know from the show. She brought me something borrowed. I had a blue guarder belt. Of course my engagement ring was the new.
“Finally I’m in a great place because I’m in a loving relationship, in a forever relationship and I’ve waited my entire life for this.
Earlier in the week, she posted a photo of a champagne breakfast by the beach. She's obviously kept her relationship very private over the last year and has kept quiet the identity of her now-husband. (E!
“It was sad. I knew my dad wanted to be there and I tried to tell him. I just wanted my wedding day to be perfect and with my dad you never know what you’re going to get. I told him how in love I was with this man and he was not supportive,” she explains. “I had to make the decision and I went back and forth about, ‘do I have my dad there?’ I had to make the decision because I’m starting a new life and my family now is my husband.

“I didn’t tell anyone. The only person who was happy for me was Cynthia. She wanted it to be true so badly when she heard,” she says. “I was surprised at them not saying anything at all. To me, silence speaks louder than anything else.
“Phaedra and Porsha were the main ones who were criticized and ridiculed me because I wasn’t married and you see where they are. None of them reached out to me. Not a one,“ she says.
A source tells E! The 46-year-old posted from what appears to be her beach side wedding with her new husband and in her mermaid-cut wedding gown.

Let’s break it down.
Kenya Moore's Wedding Look
Kenya's look was just that. From sheer skirt panels to simple makeup, RHOA’s Kenya Moore’s beach wedding look was perfect.
The Dress
And let's talk about that dress. The elegant mermaid gown was custom-designed for Kenya by Pallas Couture and came all the way from Australia, according to PEOPLE. The dress featured sheer panels, a plunging neckline, sequins, and flower appliqués. Kenya completed the look with a veil and a head full of beach waves.
Kenya’s wedding dress was custom made by Pallas Couture and shipped from Australia. The mermaid cut gown featured a plunging neckline and was covered in sequins and beading flowers. The skirt had sheer panels.
Kenya told People:"“The dress was perfect when I saw it,” Moore gushed. “I’m a woman of a certain age, but my husband wanted me to look sexy. And it was a beach wedding, so I didn’t want anything too formal. I knew this was exactly what I wanted when I saw it. “I just felt so beautiful and grown and sexy and powerful and feminine - all at the same time,” she added."
The Hair
Moore kept it simple and on-theme for her wedding ‘do. Kenya rocked beach waves that she did herself and wore a simple veil.
The Makeup
Real Housewives are almost overly made-up on the show and it was important to Kenya - and Marc - that she stay true to her ‘off-camera’ look. She did her own and kept it simple, telling people:"“[Marc] really didn’t even want me to wear makeup because he said I look more beautiful when I don’t wear makeup,” Moore said. “And I think that’s why I really appreciate him. He sees me for who I am and not as reality TV sees me or the world sees me. He really knows my heart.”"
The Finishing Touches
Flowers - duh. Kenya held “cascading” orchids that appeared to match the flowers in the arbor under which she and Marc wed. No word from People on her jewelry, but it looks like she kept it totally simple.
