“In a room full of people, my eyes will always find you,” McGrady, 26, captioned a photo of the newlyweds Monday. “06.16.19 and forever babe. … I am in complete and utter bliss 🙏🏻 … Thank you for making our wedding everything we dreamt of and more ❤️ Cannot wait to share more photos from this incredible day!

McGrady and Keys, 43, exchanged vows in a romantic ceremony that included blooms from Unique Floral Design, with an aesthetic that blended lush greenery with cream, white and champagne-colored flowers.
Their reception was similarly classic and classy, including “ethereal, romantic, wispy” decor and music ranging from Frank Sinatra to Natalie Cole playing during dinner.
It was McGrady’s show-stopping wedding dresses (yes, plural) that ultimately stole the show, however. The body-positive model wore two custom dresses from Watters for her big day.
“For me, being plus-sized, it was really hard to find any kind of wedding dress that I felt like myself in,” she told People. “I’m not ashamed of my body, and I wanted something that was really tight-fitting and shows off my curves.”
For the ceremony, she wore a “very sexy, lace, romantic first dress” and then changed into a second reception gown that she told People was “kind of an ode to Meghan Markle’s second Stella McCartney wedding dress.”
Another key part of the couple’s wedding was Keys’ 8-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. During the ceremony, McGrady recited a set of special vows to her new stepdaughter in a particularly touching moment from the day.
“She’s just the most beautiful little girl,” she said. “She’s so special, so gentle and so loving.”
A-list guests in attendance included Hailee Steinfeld and Aly Raisman. Of what she hoped her guests would take away from the wedding day, McGrady had one request: “I want my guests to just enjoy and live their lives. This it eh night they can do that!”
