Ciara shares first wedding photo with Russell Wilson
Singer Ciara has made her debut as Mrs. Russell Wilson by sharing the couple's first wedding photo on social media.
The R&B beauty tied the knot with the football star Russell at the historic Peckforton Castle in Cheshire, England on Wednesday (06Jul16), with guests including bridesmaids Kelly Rowland and Lala Anthony, and pal Jennifer Hudson.
Hours after the news of the nuptials broke, the bride took to
Instagram.com to share a sweet shot of the newlyweds.
"We Are the Wilsons!" she gleefully captioned the snap, in which
the couple smile for the camera while holding hands after
exchanging vows.
Ciara is featured wearing a lacy, long-sleeved white gown, which
was custom made by Roberto Cavalli's creative director, Peter
Dundas, according to E! News, while she also wears a
cathedral-length veil.
Her groom posted the same photo online.
Serena Williams had been expected to skip the wedding as she
prepares to compete in the semi-finals at London's Wimbledon tennis
championships on Thursday (07Jul16), but a source tells
UsMagazine.com the sports superstar made it for her friend's big
day. The insider claims the athlete was one of Ciara's six
bridesmaids.
The couple became engaged in March (16) after less than a year of
dating.
The marriage is Ciara's first, although the 30-year-old was
previously engaged to rapper Future, the father of her son Future
Zahir. The former couple initially split in August, 2014, just
three months after becoming parents, and parted ways for good that
October (14).
Russell, the 27-year-old star quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks,
was married to Ashton Meem from 2012 to 2014.
