Events designer Dave Sandoval also shared an Instagram Reel of the big day’s highlights, including the interiors filled with white décor and teeming with white flowers.
Earlier in the day, Venus shared a cinematic video of her and North with the caption, “Today is the day that the Lord has made,” followed by a red heart emoji and “12.12.23,” signifying that day’s date.
The video shows her doing solo poses, North smiling at the camera, the sunset, and the beach where they shared sweet moments.
Venus on Dec. 10 surprised fans when she shared their prenup photos on Instagram.
She reflected on being single for eight years and how God, she said, allowed it as she asked him to protect her heart until the right man comes.
Venus placed 4th runner-up during the 2010 edition of the prestigious Miss Universe pageant.
She then had hosting and acting stints on television. She's now a community servant and a podcast host.
