Where did Issa Rae and Louis Diame get married?

Announcing the wedding news on Instagram, Rae wrote, "A) Impromptu photo shoot in a custom @verawang dress. B) My girls came to help me, but they all coincidentally had on the same dress! They were sooooo embarrassed. C) Then I took a few flicks with Somebody’s Husband."

She along with Diame and their families and friends were present for the ceremony in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in South of France. 

According to WWD, the actress wore a custom light ivory ballroom-style wedding dress with a sweetheart neckline for the ceremony. It was detailed with hand-place Chantilly lace and hand-sewn crystal beads. Rae wore a matching chapel-length veil made out of Chantilly lace with the dress. She then changed into another dress for her reception - a custom lily white Italian silk crepe A-line gown with a daring V-neck. A layered tulle skirt with a front slit was a standout feature of the dress. Vera Wang had also dressed Ariana Grande and Gwen Stefani for their weddings in the recent past.

"Issa Rae getting married is another example of how certain celebrities can also keep their private lives 'private' if they themselves DON'T contact the paparazzi to take pics of them leaving venues, doing stuff, etc. Issa's been in a relationship and no one knew anything," wrote a fan lauding Rae for going the secret route for her wedding and for doing it well. "Issa Rae went to King Drew and got married in the south of France. what an inspiration," read another tweet. "Congrats to Issa Rae. Her popping up married benefits men too. Lol. Fellas don’t feel pressured to post your boo/bae/gf on social media until it’s permanent. 'I wasn’t hiding my [boo] from the world. I was hiding the world from my [boo],'" wrote another fan.
