A Former CNN anchor Don Lemon recently tied the knot to his longtime love, Tim Malone.

Details On Don and Tim’s Traditional Wedding
The pair have been engaged for five years and decided to have a traditional wedding.
Lemon, who is a Baptist, stated he “wanted to have a religious service.”
He continued, “I wanted to get married in the church. So, Tim made that happen.”
The television journalist shared how he and the real estate broker incorporated their culture’s traditions.
He stated, “Tim is from a big Irish family so we planned a big Irish blessing in there in his ceremony.”
Additionally, Lemon said “at the end we jumped over a broom,” which is an African American tradition. It was illegal for those who were enslaved to be married. It was a way for the podcaster to honor his ancestors.
Congrats to the happy couple!
