CNN anchor Don Lemon and his partner of several years, Tim Malone, tied the knot in a ceremony in New York City.

In a heartwarming turn of events, Don Lemon, the former CNN anchor, has officially tied the knot with his longtime partner Tim Malone. The couple exchanged vows in a lavish wedding ceremony held on April 6th in the bustling city of New York. The venue was the beautiful Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in midtown Manhattan, where 140 guests were in attendance to witness the momentous occasion. Adding to the specialness of the event, the union was officiated by Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations.

Don Lemon recently spoke to People about their decision to have a grand celebration after their lengthy engagement. The two had been engaged for five long years before finally taking the plunge, and Lemon admits that he never thought this day would come. "I never thought that I would get married," he expressed. The legalization of same-sex marriage in 2015 was a significant milestone for the LGBTQ+ community, and Lemon couldn't be more grateful for the newfound rights and acceptance. "The legal part of it is a big deal because I didn't think it could happen," he added. "And for so many years of my growing up and hiding things, I never thought it could happen legally. But when you consider all the rights that people are trying to take away, I wanted to make sure that we get this done right."

The wedding party was a beautiful blend of both Tim and Don's cultures, with the groomsmen dressed in custom pieces from Suit Supply. They also incorporated elements from Malone's Irish ancestry and Lemon's African-American background into the ceremony. "Tim is from a big Irish family, so we planned a big Irish blessing in there in his ceremony," Lemon shared. He also mentioned how they performed the Black wedding custom of "jumping the broom," symbolizing the start of their new journey together.

The guest list included some notable names such as Clive Davis, Tamron Hall, and Joy Behar, who were all present to celebrate the happy couple. The reception was held at a personal venue for the newlyweds, Ralph Lauren's Polo Bar. Interestingly, this was also the spot where they had their first date on election night in 2016. The night was filled with love, laughter, and special moments shared between the two and their loved ones.

In other news, Don Lemon recently called out Elon Musk for canceling a partnership with his show. Despite the minor setback, the CNN anchor is focusing on the love and happiness that surrounds him as he begins this new chapter in his life with his beloved husband by his side.
