Adoring fans and friends were ecstatic over Star Jone's beautiful and romantic wedding.
What could be more romantic than a wedding aboard the Love Boat? 'The View' former co-host and celebrity lawyer and author Star Jones outdid that particular fantasy by getting married aboard the fabulous Royal Caribbean Cruise Ship The Anthem of the Seas aptly re-named for the occasion the Anthem To Love.
Jones married lawyer Ricardo Lugo, 44, on the 25th of March 2018, revealed HollywoodLife, just one day after she celebrated her 56th birthday on the ship with her family and friends.
The happy couple invited 150 of their closest friends to sail around the Bahamas to celebrate Jones' birthday and their wedding. Among the guests was singer Beyonce‘s mother Tina Knowles who posted a photo of the newlyweds on her Instagram account.
“Congratulations Star and Ricardo Lugo !! The wedding was one of the most beautiful weddings I’ve attended! There was not a dry eye in the joint. Much love from here until eternity Star And Ricardo.”
Tina Knowles, HollywoodLife, 26th of March 2018.
The celebrity's wedding gown was a stunning, dazzling white satin creation from the exclusive NYC bridal salon Kleinfeld.
Appropriately, it had graceful, sweeping mermaid lines with a halter neckline. Jones wore her hair swept up into a sparkling jeweled headband and she carried a bouquet of delicate white lilies.
The whole bridal party - bridesmaids and all! - wore white. The effect was striking and very elegant.
Star Jones was formerly married to Wall-Street executive Al Reynolds from 2004 to 2008. After the divorce Reynolds came out as bisexual. The couple had no children together.
Jones and Lugo have been in a relationship since 2016, but have kept their involvement very discreet. Lugo is a lawyer in a firm that specializes in helping fathers fight for the custody of their children. Lugo is also divorced and has a son named Jake.
