King, host of CBS Mornings, recounted her experience during a broadcast shortly after the event, expressing her delight in witnessing the couple’s union. “It was a beautiful ceremony overlooking the ocean,” she shared, highlighting the emotional atmosphere that enveloped the gathering. The guest list was a who’s who of celebrity status, including notable figures such as Kylie Jenner, Timothée Chalamet, and Jada Pinkett Smith, making the event all the more vibrant.
A particularly touching moment, as described by King, occurred during the reception when Towns’ father delivered a heartfelt toast. In a celebratory spirit, he remarked, “It’s been a great year — he’s won two rings: the NBA championship ring and then the ring that he’s giving to Jordyn tonight.” King noted the sentiment brought smiles to the faces of those present, recognising the significance of the moment in both a familial and sporting context.
Guests were further treated to a surprise when the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy was brought onto the dance floor. This trophy, awarded to the New York Knicks following their victory against the San Antonio Spurs in the 2026 NBA Finals, added a layer of excitement to the festivities. King described the lively atmosphere as all present joined in a rendition of “New York, concrete jungle where dreams are made,” illustrating a sense of camaraderie among the guests.
Throughout the ceremony, King observed the couple closely, particularly noting Towns’ reactions as Woods approached him in her stunning gown. “When she stepped up there, he said, ‘You look amazing,’” she recounted, her voice filled with warmth. Such moments reflect the deep affection shared between the newlyweds and the joy of their commitment to one another.
In addition to Gayle King, the wedding saw an array of other star-studded attendees, including Hailey and Justin Bieber, Teyana Taylor, Michael B. Jordan, and Ben Stiller with Christine Taylor. While the festivities included many familiar faces, King mentioned that she did not spot Jordan, although she did catch a glimpse of comedian Tracy Morgan and several players from the Knicks.
Following the wedding, Vogue provided an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Woods’ bridal preparations. The model adorned three exquisite dresses designed by Danielle Frankel. For the ceremony, she chose a strapless silk gown with intricate lace detailing, complemented beautifully by a delicate lace neck scarf. Expressing her delight, Woods remarked, “It’s honestly everything I could have wanted. This is better than what I thought my dream wedding dress would be.”
Woods and Towns announced their engagement on Christmas Day the previous year, after more than five years of friendship that blossomed into romance. Woods has frequently spoken about how their deep-rooted friendship contributed to the strength of their relationship. “I think it’s kind of cool dating your best friend,” she stated in an Instagram series, emphasising their intimate knowledge of each other through both good and challenging times.
As they embark on this new chapter in their lives, the love and support from their friends and family promise to underpin their journey together. With their wedding marking a significant milestone, fans of both Woods and Towns continue to celebrate their happiness and look forward to what the future holds for this dynamic couple.
