Lemon, known for his work as a news anchor and host of The Don Lemon Show, had been engaged to real estate broker Tim Malone for five years before their wedding day.
They opted for a traditional ceremony that incorporated elements from their respective backgrounds, including an Irish blessing and a symbolic gesture of jumping over a broom, paying homage to historical traditions.
The decision to have a big wedding was deliberate. Malone emphasized that they wanted to make a public statement and involve their loved ones, many of whom had not attended a gay wedding before.
