Notables ranging from Spike Lee to Sen. Hillary Clinton packed into St. Bartholomew’s Church Saturday to watch Jones, 42, who wore a a designer strapless wedding dress with a 27-foot train, exchange vows with Reynolds. “The train was so long it took about seven people to carry it,” said friend and guest Valerie Simpson, songwriter and half of the R&B duo Ashford and Simpson. With songstress Patti LaBelle performing, and a bridal party including Natalie Cole, Vivica A.

She had the biggest smile I’ve ever seen.”
