NEW YORK -- Star Jones, co-host of 'The View' married fiance' Al Reynolds in a star-studded Park Avenue wedding bash, Saturday.
Notables ranging from Spike Lee to Hillary Clinton packed into St. Bartholomew's Church to watch Jones, 42, who wore a a designer strapless wedding dress with a 27-foot veil, exchange vows with Reynolds, a Manhattan banker.
"The train was so long it took about seven people to carry it," said friend and guest Valerie Simpson, songwriter and half of the R&B duo Ashford and Simpson.
With songstress Patti LaBelle performing at the event, and a bridal party with names like Natalie Cole, Vivica A. Fox and Holly Robinson Peete, the storybook wedding lasted until 8 p.m. before moving to the Waldorf Astoria Hotel for an equally celebrity-heavy reception.
"I smiled a lot," said Jones' 'The View' co-host Barbara Walters. "I was happy for her. She had the biggest smile I've ever seen."
