Prior to the wedding, the two posed for a pre-wedding shoot (below) for pics that would be used on the big day. The couple both wore red, black and white (their wedding colors).

Back at the wedding....
While Fantasia and Kendall plan to share their full wedding album at a later date, Fanny was inspired to post a pic of three young women she considers to be very close friends. She thanked them for their love and revealed it's been difficult for her to find people she can trust.
"These 3 girls and My Sister @neek1064 RIDE FOR ME.. I Love You Girls with ALL of my Heart.. I don't let people in often because I've been Hurt So Much but God allowed me to see (You Ladies are Different)"
The decor was helmed by Stephanie Herring. Fantasia thanked her by saying,
"From my hometown.. Born and raise.. She did it ALL THE WAY UP for KENDALL and Myself.. Thank You Baby.. We would like to show you and your team how Happy and Grateful we are for making this day just how we imagined it. After the Honeymoon we would like to bring it to you. Thank You Thank You Thank You again it was Amazing."
And here's the Taylor's wedding cake! It was designed by her makeup artist Loretta.
Fantasia, who has two children Dallas, 3 and daughter, Zion, 13, from previous relationships, thanked the wedding party with this post,
“Thank you Our Mothers (Diane & Donna) for witnessing your babies take fight! To our Bridesmaids and Groomsmen, thank you for being patient and encouraging throughout this event and all of our lives…And to those who texted, called, or prayed during this week and up until today… Know that we love you and we know that if we had more capacity you would have been there, but you were still there in spirit… Now… We are The Taylor’s….
