Cory Booker and Alexis Lewis Tie the Knot in Two Heartfelt Ceremonies

The couple said “I do” in Newark and Washington, D.C., sharing intimate celebrations and heartfelt Instagram posts that captured their love and gratitude.

Cory Booker and Alexis Lewis are officially married, and they celebrated their love in style with two meaningful ceremonies. The U.S. Senator, 56, and the real estate investment director, 38, said “I do” at locations that hold deep significance for both of them.

Their first ceremony took place on Monday, November 24, in Newark, New Jersey, a city central to many milestones in Booker’s political career. They were joined by their parents as witnesses, keeping the moment intimate and personal. A few days later, the couple celebrated again on Saturday, November 29, in Washington, D.C., Alexis’s hometown. That celebration brought together family and close friends. Lewis wore a stunning gown by House of Gilles, while Booker opted for a timeless tuxedo, keeping the energy classic and elegant.

The couple shared their wedding news with fans on Sunday, November 30, through joint Instagram posts. The first post captured their courthouse wedding at the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, and the second highlighted their D.C. celebration with loved ones. “Overflowing with gratitude. We said 'I do' in two places that shaped us — Cory’s beloved Newark and Alexis’s hometown of Washington, D.C. — first at the courthouse, then with our families,” they captioned the posts. “Hearts full and so grateful,” they added.

Booker first announced his engagement to Lewis on social media back in September, sharing a heartfelt note about the impact she has had on his life. “Alexis is one of the greatest unearned blessings of my life. She has transformed me, helping me to ground and center my inner life, and discover the joys of building a nurturing home with someone you love,” he wrote. He added, “I am savoring the soul-affirming wonder of everyday life with my partner, best friend, and now my fiancée. We are excited for this journey ahead.”

The celebrations show how deeply connected Booker and Lewis are, honoring both personal and family milestones, and grounding their love in the places that mean the most to them. It’s a full-circle moment for the couple, and fans are getting a glimpse of their joy, gratitude, and the start of their next chapter together.
