Mike and Kyra had a lot to celebrate over the past year. Months before welcoming Indiana, they had a lavish wedding at a resort in Pelican Hill, California.

According to Essence, the couple tied the knot in front of 200 guests. Their wedding theme was a New York summer romance, which included tall trees, hundreds of bouquets, and amber lighting.
