We’ve already reported on the scant details from Kenya Moore’s wedding. But knowing her personality, there was bound to be more in the pipeline. And true to form, Kenya recently spoke to People about the ceremony and the entire day at a private resort in St. Lucia.
She began stating that “It was just so perfect.”
As we’ve mentioned Kenya said that she and her husband Marc Daly met a year ago and began dating in December before exchanging vows in the sand.
She explains, “We wanted something simple and not overly complicated.” She said that Daly is“extremely romantic” and heavily influenced their day. “He didn’t want something for show. He didn’t want it to be left up to other people’s interpretation of love. He just wanted it to be what he sees it: him looking into my eyes and us being together. It was just two people in love who wanted to get married.”
Overall, Kenya said she was happy with the way things turned out.
“I would not have done it any other way — it was amazing,” Moore added. “My sign is an Aquarius, so I really love the water and the ocean and always wanted that as my backdrop. And we were all there on the white sand beach and you could hear the waves in the background. It was so romantic.”
Kenya shared that her best friend and frequent face on RHOA Brandon DeShazer walked her down the aisle in her father’s absence. He was celebrating his birthday in Jamaica at the time.
“It was so last-minute, he couldn’t make it. But Brandon was there, which was super special to me.”
Kenya’s aunts were in attendance, including her Aunt Lisa who was Moore’s matron of honor and her best friend from high school Shonda.
“I was raised by my grandmother, so even though she’s my aunt, we grew up as sisters. It meant so much to have her there.”
As far as Kenya’s beloved pets, her Yorkies King and Twirl, they were unable to attend.
“We would have had to start that paperwork 60 days in advance to get them out of the country, and we didn’t pull it off in time,” Moore said. “But it would have been fun to have them there!”
While Kenya loved her ceremony, she plans on doing the whole thing over again next June with more of her friends and family in attendance.
As for her dress, Moore wore a mermaid cut gown with sheer panels and a plunging neckline. It was decorated with sequence and beading flower appliqués.
“The dress was perfect when I saw it. I’m a woman of a certain age, but my husband wanted me to look sexy. And it was a beach wedding, so I didn’t want anything too formal. I knew this was exactly what I wanted when I saw it.”
Walking down the aisle in it, Moore said she felt beautiful, sexy, powerful and feminine at the same time.
“[Marc] really didn’t even want me to wear makeup because he said I look more beautiful when I don’t wear makeup,” Moore said. “And I think that’s why I really appreciate him. He sees me for who I am and not as reality TV sees me or the world sees me. He really knows my heart.”
When it came down to reciting her vows, Moore said, “I cried the whole time writing them so I ended up just saying what I felt from my heart. I was so emotional, I just couldn’t get through without this really big ugly cry.”
