R&B crooner and one of our faves, Tank married his long time girlfriend Zena Foster over the weekend in a private ceremony that included some of his closest friends and family.
The couple, who previously announced their engagement in January of last year, dished on the exclusive details of their union, and more via People:
The “Maybe I Deserve” singer, born Durrell Babbs, 42, and his longtime love Zena Foster, 40, said “I do” on Sunday, July 22, in front of 200 friends and family at the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles.
“I’m excited to see her walk down the aisle, her dress and her whole heavenly aura just captivate the place,” the singer told PEOPLE just ahead of the big day.
The bride wore a lace J’Aton Couture gown from Lovella Bridal for the ceremony before slipping into a dress by Zahavit Tshuba for the reception. The groom and his groomsmen stepped out in tuxedos by Greyscale with Tank in a custom bowtie by DLeak.
Among the spiffy groomsmen, was the groom’s close friend of 15 years, Jamie Foxx. Not only did Foxx show up to support Tank, but he also provided some comic relief for the big occasion, before later performing for the couple. “I’m looking forward to him cracking jokes on the wedding day,” Tank said. “The goof ball session is going to be at an all-time high when we’re standing there.”
While Foxx, who’s been spotted out recently with Katie Holmes, was extended a plus one, Tank didn’t confirm who’d be his friend’s date for the event. “I just told him make sure you use it wisely,” the singer said with a laugh.
Other notable members of the bridal party were the couple’s two children together, daughter Zoey, 10, who served as a junior bridesmaid and son Zion, 3, who was ring bearer. Best Man duties went to singer J. Valentine. After exchanging rings designed by Leor Yerushalma of The Jewelers of Las Vegas, the pair sealed their new life together with a kiss.
At the reception, held at Los Angeles’ Alexandria Ballrooms and planned by Wife of the Party events, the pair danced their first dance to an original number they wrote together titled “Our song”, as photographer Haley Rynn Ringo captured each moment.
Guests, including Michael B. Jordan and Floyd Mayweather, sat at long tables adorned with tall floral arrangements featuring blush-toned roses, peonies and hydrangeas, designed by Shawna Yamamoto Event Design. For dinner 24 Carrots catering served chili and spice-rubbed Chilean sea bass with cilantro-lime butter and grilled filet mignon served with boursin and garlic whipped potatoes and caramelized brussel sprouts.
To appease the groom’s sweet tooth Fantasy Frostings created a fondant covered floral-themed cake and EvaRosa Ice Cream set up a custom ice cream station.
