Congrats to Cory Booker and Alexis Lewis: The Senator Quietly Ties the Knot
Media Take Out has confirmed that Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey is officially a married man. The longtime public servant wed his partner Alexis Lewis in a deeply intimate ceremony in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, keeping things low key, elegant, and completely out of the spotlight.
The wedding comes less than three months after Cory shocked social media with their engagement announcement on Instagram. Now the couple has sealed the deal in a way that was meaningful to both of their backgrounds.
A Ceremony Blending Faith, Family, and Legacy
The pair held an interfaith ceremony blessed by both a rabbi and a pastor. They exchanged vows under a huppah surrounded by framed photos of grandparents and relatives who have passed on. It was a beautiful tribute to the people who shaped them.
Sources say the gathering was tiny, warm, and emotional, with only close family in attendance. The reception that followed continued the blended theme, honoring both of their traditions and the worlds they each come from.
A Legal Ceremony in Newark and a Sweet Celebration
While the Washington, D.C. ceremony gave them the ambiance, the couple made things official on Monday inside a federal courthouse in Newark. Both sets of parents served as witnesses, and Judge Julien Xavier Neals of the U.S. District Court presided over the legal marriage.
After the paperwork was signed, the newlyweds celebrated the moment Jersey style, with Italian pastries and a vegan chocolate chip cookie dough cake. Cory is famously vegan, but Alexis is not, and insiders say the dessert spread reflected both of their tastes.
The couple lives in Newark’s Central Ward and has been building a life together away from the cameras.
A Love Kept Private
Unlike many political marriages that unfold in the public eye, Senator Booker and Alexis Lewis chose to keep their wedding plans completely under wraps. According to insiders, privacy and safety played a major role in their decision.
Now that the celebration is over, the couple is beginning their life as newlyweds on their own terms.
Media Take Out sends them nothing but love during this new chapter.
