Talk show host Montel Williams and his fiancée, Tara Fowler, wed before an intimate gathering of friends and family Saturday afternoon on a beach in Bermuda.
Montel told PEOPLE immediately following the ceremony:
“I am ecstatic! Unbelievable,”
Williams told PEOPLE the night before the wedding.The bride wore an off-white custom-made Badgley Mishka gown,and the groom wore a gray suit with periwinkle-blue pinstripes.
Among the 60 guests were both the bride’s and groom’s parents and siblings. And Williams’ 18-year-old daughter Maressa (from his first marriage) served as one of Fowler’s bridesmaids.
Williams said before the wedding:
“A key to any successful marriage is that you’ve got to have friends, you’ve got to have family to support that union,” “And from day one we’ve had family and friends together that support this.”
This is the third marriage for Williams, who has four children but it is the first for Fowler.
