Per E! News:
Guests included Kim Kardashian, who wore a colorful dress, husband Kanye West, and mutual friend and comedian Dave Chappelle. Kim and Kanye were the last guests to arrive, the eyewitness said, adding that they “watched the ceremony intently and cheered for the bride and groom at the end of ceremony as they kissed passionately.”
“After the ceremony, Kim and Kanye hung out with Dave Chappelle on the lawn,” the eyewitness continued. “They were all laughing together and having a great time. They posed for photos and Chance came over to chat. They congratulated him and gave him hugs. Kim and Kanye were offered some champagne. Kim passed but Kanye took a glass. Then they walked inside together for the reception. It looked like they were very happy to be there and to see their friend get married. They both never stopped smiling.”
The wedding insider also noted that “The decor was all white, with big arrangements of white roses lining the aisle and scattered white petals where the bride walked down to meet her groom.”
In the days leading up to the wedding, Chance hit up social media to recall the time he met his lady love while also announcing his weekend wedding.
In a note posted to social media, hip-hop star described attending his mother’s office party when he was 9-years-old, where he watched a trio of little girls perform “Independent Women” by Destiny’s Child.
“Now I’m locking eyes wth the prettiest girl I ever seen in my almost-a-decade of life on earth,” he described. “I really shouldn’t even say locked eyes cause really, I was just staring at her; as she and her girls were conquering this choreography and mastering the art of lip-synching in a way even the most professional performers have yet to accomplish.”
While his father encouraged him to dance with them, Chance decided it “wasn’t the time or place.”
“I knew I was gonna marry that girl. And I ain’t wanna jump the gun,” he wrote. “16 years later it’s happening. This [weekend] is the time, and the place is my wedding. I’m gonna dance with my wife because this is my destiny.”
