At last, Senator Cory Booker is married! The Senator married Alexis Lewis in an intimate, heartfelt, and private celebration held in Newark, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. The celebrations reflected the couple’s shared values, deep family ties, and the cities that shaped their journeys, according to the couple.
Also, according to Booker, he and Lewis began their romance in May 2024 after a mutual friend introduced them. Their connection grew quickly, and by August of this year, they were engaged. Earlier this Month, the couple brought their families together for a wedding experience that honored both of their hometowns.
The couple exchanged vows at the federal courthouse in Newark, NJ, where Judge Julien Xavier Neals officiated their ceremony. Booker and Lewis kept the moment warm and private, serving pastries from Calandra’s Bakery and a vegan chocolate chip cookie dough cake from Papa Ganache in Matawan, NJ. The courthouse wedding setting matched Booker’s long-standing love for Newark, NJ, the city he once led as Mayor before becoming a Senator.
A few days later, the couple continued their wedding celebration in Washington, D.C., where Lewis grew up. The couple’s wedding was a private interfaith ceremony surrounded by close family members and friends. Booker described the day as “magical,” and the couple shared their gratitude online, noting how meaningful it felt to say “I do” in the two cities that shaped their lives.
The couple’s two-city wedding celebrations blended tradition, love, and personal touch. Proofing that even public figures can craft deeply personal moments that feel true to who they are. Congratulations to the couple and happy married life ahead!
