Congratulations are in order for former Atlanta Housewife - formally known as Porsha Williams – now known as Porsha Guobadia and her new husband Simon Guobadia.

The pair, who both previously appeared on “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, tied the knot with two extravagant ceremonies this past weekend. The newlyweds first ceremony on Friday was a traditional Nigerian native law and custom ceremony. The couple were joined by 250 guests at the Four Seasons Atlanta to celebrate the couple’s shared Nigerian ancestry.

The second ceremony on Saturday, was an American wedding that took place right here in Atlanta! During Saturday’s service, 350 guest filled the church – with tons of notable names to boot. Fellow Real Housewives of Atlanta stars Nene Leakes, Kandi Burruss, Cynthia Bailey, Kim Zolciak-Biermann, Drew Sidora and Monyetta Shaw were all in attendance. There were also several other Atlanta reality show franchise stars in attendance, including Karlie Redd from “Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” and Quad Webb from “Married To Medicine.” Of course, the stars didn’t stop there – media personality Rickey Smiley, rapper Da Brat, “Basketball Wives” star Jennifer Williams, married musicians and Atlanta natives T.I. and Tiny, reality stars Yandy Smith, Toya Johnson and Monique Samuels along with their respective husbands and so many more were also there.

As Williams walked down the aisle in a beautiful white lace ballgown, gospel sensation Tasha Cobbs Leonard and Williams brother Hosea Williams III sang “For Every Mountain” with a gospel choir and 40-piece orchestra.

“We call each other ‘hubby’ and ‘wifey’ all the time, but now it’s going to be official,” Williams told PEOPLE.

After Saturday’s ceremony, the newly married couple along with their guests headed to the reception at the St. Regis Atlanta. Williams changed into another epic dress and everyone was in for a treat as there was a surprise performance by Dru Hill.

Congrats to the newlyweds! Check out a few more looks from the wedding guests below.
