While the first wedding was more traditional and private, the couple’s second wedding — which was in an American style — saw Williams’ 3 year old daughter Pilar Jhena (with ex Dennis McKinley) as a flower girl.

With a whopping 350 guests, Williams’ celebrity friends also supported her. It’s reported that fellow former and current ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ stars Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Monyetta Shaw, Kandi Burruss, Drew Sidora and Cynthia Bailey were in attendance.

Speaking ahead of her second wedding, Williams told PEOPLE Magazine why it was important to have her ceremony in a church with gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard blowing it down with a gospel choir and 40-piece orchestra.
Williams said, “I definitely want the Lord to be in the place. I want the Holy Spirit to usher us into being a husband and wife. I’m from the south, so I love being in church. I’ve never been married in a church, and Simon’s never been married in a church, so it’s going to be a new experience for both of us.”

At Williams and Guobadia’s second wedding, they officially exchanged their wedding bands when they met up at the alter. Williams said, “We call each other ‘hubby’ and ‘wifey’ all the time, but now it’s going to be official, so I think I’m going to cry. Simon says he’s not going to cry, but he’s cried at home when we just talk about our relationship, so I think he’s going to cry. I think we have a silent bet.”
Speaking on the silent bet, Guobadia said, “Crying? No, that doesn’t happen to a Benin man!”
