In a heartwarming family affair, Gayle King shared the joyous news on the June 4 broadcast of CBS Mornings. Her son, William “Will” Bumpus Jr., has married Elise Smith. The intimate wedding took place on June 2 at the home of long-time family friend, Oprah Winfrey.

“My favorite son Will and my new favorite daughter-in-law Elise Smith tied the knot on Sunday,” King, 69, announced. Meanwhile, photos from the wedding flashed onscreen. “Oprah of course was there ’cause it was at Oprah’s house,” she added, eliciting laughter from her colleagues. “It’s always nice when she lets us use her house.”

The ceremony featured beautiful personal touches. The bride wore a stunning strapless Amsale gown, and the couple walked down the aisle to a backdrop of fireworks. King shared that her favorite moment of the day was the exchange of vows, particularly when Will said, “I know the man I am, but with you, I know the man I want to be.” King’s description of the day conveyed the deep love and connection between the newlyweds, noting, “There was something about these two that I thought was very epic, it was next level.”

The wedding was an intimate event strictly for family, but Will and Elise plan to celebrate with a larger dance party for friends later on. Will and Elise had announced their engagement in February, with King and Winfrey orchestrating the memorable proposal.

Gayle King’s emotional reflection on the wedding underscored the unique bond shared by the couple, making the celebration a truly memorable occasion for all involved.
