Blair Underwood and Josie Hart who have been friends for 43 years became husband and wife over the weekend in the Dominican Republic.
For all of those who know us, and I’m talking about our nine kids, grandkids, former spouses. For everybody to be on-board and embrace and accept this union is nothing but God.”- Blair Underwood
In an exclusive with PEOPLE, the actor shared that his new bride looked like a princess when he saw her in her wedding gown for the first time.
“The first time I saw her in the dress, she looked like a princess,” Underwood shared. “She was so beautiful. The deep emotions that were displayed during the ceremony, the lightness and fun of the reception, it all felt humbling because it all just fell into place. It was amazing.”
The new Mrs. Underwood walked down the aisle in front of 100 guest that included Kim Fields and Malcolm Jamal Warner in a bespoke transitional two-in-one gown designed by Nneka C. Alexander of Brides by Nona Couture Atelier
The newlyweds had their first dance to Tony Terry’s song “With You”—performed live by the singer as a surprise to Hart—before fireworks lit up the night sky.
