The Rev. Raphael G. Warnock, senior pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, and Ouleye Ndoye were wed publicly on Valentine’s Day at the Auburn Avenue church.

They initially wed in a private ceremony last month in Danforth Chapel on the campus of Morehouse College, Warnock’s alma mater. Many Morehouse men and Spelman College women have married there.

“I’ve waited a long time for this moment and I’ve worked hard for a long time,” he said Saturday. “It’s exciting to finally give more attention to my personal life.”

Here is a look at the day:
