Gayle King is sharing a candid look inside her son William Bumpus Jr.’s nuptials!
Shortly after revealing on-air that her son and his bride Elise Smith tied the knot, the CBS Mornings co-anchor, 69, posted several behind-the-scenes photos and videos of the big event, which was held at her longtime friend Oprah Winfrey’s house.
In one Instagram post, King shared a glimpse at the wedding ceremony in a carousel that included a photo of the bride in a strapless Amsale gown and the groom in a matching white suit jacket with slacks. The pair held hands in Winfrey’s garden, where the nuptials took place. In another sweet snap, King could be seen hugging her son before the ceremony.
She also shared photos of Bumpus Jr., 37, looking lovingly over at his bride from the altar beneath a rose flower arch setup. Smith’s father, who officiated the ceremony, could be seen just behind him smiling while holding his script. A follow-up photo showed the bride holding a white bouquet as she walked down the aisle holding hands with her mother, Eva.
