Renowned television personality Don Lemon recently unveiled that some of his celebrity acquaintances expressed disappointment over not being included in the guest list for his star-studded wedding to Tim Malone. The nuptials, held on April 6th in New York City, saw an array of notable attendees, including Matt Lauer, Luann De Lesseps, and Tamron Hall. However, due to the limited capacity of the venue, Polo Bar, Lemon and Malone had to make selective invitations.
Lemon explained their decision during an exclusive interview with The U.S. Sun at the NYC Second Chance Rescue 4th Annual Rescue Ball. He emphasized that the guest list prioritized their closest relationships and family members, ensuring that those who celebrated their union were the ones they cherished most.
Despite the presence of high-profile celebrities, Lemon stressed that the focus of their wedding was on celebrating their love and commitment, not on the attendance of famous names. He expressed gratitude for the presence of those who were able to share their special day.
Among the guests were several co-hosts from The View, including Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sara Haines, and Sunny Hostin. Lemon shared the personal connections he had with each guest, highlighting his neighborly bond with Luann De Lesseps, his proximity to Joy Behar, and his former work relationship with Sunny Hostin at CNN.
The dance floor was filled throughout the evening, with Lemon expressing amazement at the enthusiastic participation of their guests. DJ Tokyo Rose provided the entertainment, keeping the energy high.
While the couple did not request gifts, they were surprised and delighted to receive exquisite glassware from an anonymous benefactor. They expressed their appreciation for the thoughtful gesture.
Lemon and Malone are avid animal lovers and have adopted three rescue dogs from the Southampton Animal Shelter. They were joined by their furry companions at their intimate wedding and continue to support animal welfare organizations like Second Chance Rescue. Both Lemon and Malone emphasized their love for animals and their commitment to supporting organizations that work to save and protect them.
