John Legend and Chrissy Teigen are officially married! The Grammy-winning singer married the model in an intimate wedding at Villa Pizzo in Lake Como, Italy on Saturday, Sept. 14, his rep confirms to Us Weekly. A source tells Us the two decided on the specific location because “they first fell in love” there.
Mr. and Mrs. Legend were feted by family and friends, including Kanye West and Stevie Wonder. The “Isn’t She Lovely” singer also performed with Legend as a special treat.Actress and model Brooklyn Decker was a bridesmaid and Biz Markie helped DJ the celebration. Teigen’s other close friend and bridesmaid, sports journalist Erin Andrews, was unfortunately unable to take off work to attend.
Teigen, 27, wore three Vera Wang dresses for the big occasion, including an ivory strapless open back, V-neck ballgown for the ceremony, and an ivory strapless mermaid gown with a pleated bodice for the reception. She finished off her stunning looks with a crimson strapless mermaid gown with a hand-draped bodice and inverted flange skirt with crystal embroidery for the after party. She walked down the aisle through a path of roses and carried a bouquet of white and pink flowers.
To top it off, the blushing bride even got serenaded by the “Ordinary People” singer! “I will be singing for her, ‘All Of Me,’ which I wrote for her,” Legend, 34, previously told Us at his private performance at The Box in NYC on Aug. 27. “I wrote most of the album about her.”
Legend and Teigen began dating in 2007. The “Tonight” singer’s rep later told Us in late December 2011 that the R&B singer popped the question while the couple vacationed over the holidays in the Maldives.
“She’s beautiful, smart, funny, a smitten Legend told Us about his new bride back on Sept. 5 at the Galore magazine party in NYC. “She loves to cook. She loves to eat. She’s awesome.”
