Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Misty Copeland is now married. Pink and white roses and pink hydrangeas filled the gorgeous space, reminiscent of Misty’s ballerina getups. Copeland made history in 2015 when she became the first African-American female principal dancer for the American Ballet Theater.

“I feel like I get to become a fairy princess on stage”, she said.

The toned stunner explained how she was aiming for an understated, “romantic and elegant” wedding gown. “I don’t think I want to go super poofy or anything like that. I just want it to be simple and classy and not feel like I’m in a tutu”.

And as a bit of a fun fact, Olu Evans just so happens to be Taye Diggs’ cousin.
