Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, Bumpus and Miller, who live on the west coast, were forced to modify their wedding plans and decided to have an intimate ceremony at WInfrey’s house, near Santa Barbara.
Kirby made the wedding dress adjustments at Zoom, but King was unable to get close to helping her prepare herself. King said that part was “very difficult”.
The guest list included Winfrey, his partner Stedman Graham and King. Gayle’s son Will Bumpus officiated at the ceremony.
“It wasn’t the wedding we planned, but it was absolutely perfect,” said King to O, who also posted exclusive photos of the wedding.
“Oprah was filming something on his property that was canceled at the last minute, so we were lucky and we had a professional photographer who followed the whole pandemic protocol. I am very happy to have these memories, because the photos are impressive,” explained King.
After the two exchanged vows, the small group celebrated with “socially distant canapés and cakes and socially distant dances”.
