Love is a force more formidable than any other. It is invisible - it cannot be seen or measured, yet it is powerful enough to transform you in a moment, and offer you more joy than any material possession could. ~Barbara de Angelis

Tamera Mowry Gets Married

Sister, Sister star Tamera Mowry tied the knot with Fox News correspondent Adam Housley on Sunday, May 15, 2011. The beautiful 32 year old bride wore a stunning strapless Carolina Herrera gown. Tamera and Adam said their "I Do's" in front of 300 guests during the ceremony, which took place at a Napa Valley vineyard.

"I've always wanted an outdoor wedding with lots of flowers" said Mowry. "I feel so lucky to have this beautiful day marrying my best friend."

Tamera's twin sister Tia was the matron of honor, showing off her baby bump in a pale pink asymmetrical gown. Tia is expecting a baby boy with her husband, Cory Hardrict in July.

Regalado and matron of honor Tia Mowry. Housley and his eight groosmen, including brother and bestman Arik, wore tuxedos and Converse sneakers.

"I feel so belessed to be marrying such an amazing man," says Mowry. Housley said "Tamera is beautiful inside out."

Sister Tia gets emotional during the vows. During the ceremony, performed by pastor Dudley Rutherford, the couple presented their parents with long stemmed roses. "We wanted to honor them, because without their love and support we wouldn't be the people we are today," Mowry explained.

For the reception, Mowry changed into a two-piece by Dolce & Gabbana before joining the guests for a sit-down dinner that included a four-tiered wedding cake by Sweetie Pies.

For a sophiscticated yet rustic wine country look, event designer Eden Rodriguez decorated wood farm tables with pale pink roses and white hydraneas, olive brances and hundreds of white candles. For the first dance, the newlyweds danced to Jounrye's "Faithfully" before suprising their guests with a performance to LL Cool J's "Going Back to Cali."

After a third outfit change by the bride - this time into a dress by Herve Legera, the party continued inside a barrel room with dancing to a DJ from San Francisco's KMEL radio station. Late night snacks included a taco truck and dessert from Sift cupcakes.

Congratulations to the beautiful couple.

A man reserves his true and deepest love not for the species of woman in whose company he finds himself electrified and enkindled, but for that one in whose company he may feel tenderly drowsy. ~George Jean Nathan
