For the reception, she changed into an elegant white dress with thick gold stripes running down the sides to highlight her curvaceous figure.
The plunging neckline highlighted her cleavage, and she opted for long blonde locks in gentle waves.

Cynthia sounded overjoyed to marry her ‘best friend’ ahead of the wedding.
‘This is not our first rodeo. Both Mike and I have been married before — but we are ready to ride!’ she told the publication.
Mike, who is a Fox Sports correspondent, also was looking forward to the nuptials after growing closer to his fiancée while quarantining amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
‘If we could survive that, we can survive anything together. We’re happy, we’re ready to go,’ he enthused.

Kenya was supported during the wedding by multiple current and former Housewives, with Kandi, Kenya and Eva serving as her bridesmaids, of whom Cynthia said: ‘I couldn’t imagine my day without them.’
On Friday, Cynthia went into detail on Instagram about the procedures that would be used to sanitize the country club, including the use of a disinfectant mist, which was shown in action in her video.
However, this kind of surface disinfection has been called ‘hygiene theater’ by The Atlantic and other publications in recent months, as current science on the coronavirus suggests only a small portion of people catch it from contaminated surfaces, while the vast majority catch it through airborne droplets and aerosolized particles, which are most likely to be avoided by wearing masks.

Marlo shared a short video of herself and Porsha inside the country club, in which she wore a black mask but Porsha skipped one, despite being indoors where the risk of contracting the coronavirus is greater.
In addition to the deep clean, all guests had their temperature checked and the seats were also spaced out according to social distancing recommendations.
‘Everyone has to wash their hands before coming inside and we will have hand sanitizing stations throughout the venue,’ Cynthia said. ‘And everyone must be wearing a mask at all times, it’s not optional.
‘We want to make people feel comfortable and not look irresponsible,’ Mike joined in. ‘We’re doing everything we possibly can.’
