Tika Sumpter recently tied the knot with her fiancé Nicholas James in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on May 14. Sumpter stated in an interview,

“We’re excited to be together and continue the journey. We both walked down the aisle with clear eyes, knowing that the wedding wasn’t just for the party. It was really for us.”

Sumpter was seen in a strapless wedding dress designed by Galia Lahav with a flowing veil, while James wore a light blue custom Franc Milton suit. Sumpter said,

“I didn’t necessarily always want a destination wedding. It was just something that came to my mind. One of our first trips out of the country was Anguilla, and Mexico definitely has that beautiful, island vibe, so we were like why not do it in Cabo?”
