Packer, who is well known for producing hit films like Think Like A Man, Think Like a Man Too, About Last Night, No Good Deed, Ride Along and The Wedding Ringer has no shortage of A-list friends.
“I always imagined that my wedding would be just me looking into my husband’s eyes and us professing our love for each other, and that is exactly what we did yesterday,” says the bride.
Packer, a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, wore a Miguel Wilson Collection black and gold tuxedo. “I told Will, ‘I want to walk down that aisle and see drool coming down the side off your lips.’ And, I could tell by the look on his face when I came down that aisle that I had done what I came to do. “When I went to look for a dress, I wanted it to be grown and I wanted it to be sexy, but I wanted it to be classy too,” she tells ESSENCE. Hayslett was a vision of beauty in a stunning champagne satin Eve of Milady wedding gown with a silver beaded overlay. It was very, very emotional,” adds the groom. “Between Heather’s entrance and the vows it was insane. “That whole backyard was crying.” In lieu of writing their own vows in advance the Packers chose to speak from the heart at the altar. “When I saw her at the end of that aisle I just lost it,” says Packer. For the bride’s big march down the aisle, the couple’s longtime friend singer Anthony Hamilton serenaded the couple with a rendition of Teddy Pendergrass’ “You’re My Latest, Greatest Inspiration.” (Swoon!) Packer’s childhood friend Pastor Charles Jenkins of Chicago officiated the ceremony. “They came down like runway models,” says Packer. The groom and his oldest son, who was his best man, along with the bride’s son walked down the aisle together to a mash-up of the epic score of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Rich Homie Quan’s “Flex, Ohh, Ohh, Ohh” (dance moves included!) and the bride’s sister, who served as her matron of honor, and Packer’s two daughters made their way down the aisle to Janelle Monae and Miguel’s duet “Primetime.” Upon arrival, guests were given a brief tour of the home and served champagne and wine before being asked to take their seats at beautifully decorated café tables in the couple’s backyard.Įveryone made a grand entrance for the occasion. On Friday night, around 50 of the couple’s closest family and friends arrived for what they thought would be an intimate dinner on the eve of the couple’s housewarming party to kick off Saturday’s festivities. That’s when the surprise wedding idea was born. After purchasing their brand new home in Sandy Springs, Georgia, the couple planned a large housewarming party to celebrate. It was actually Hayslett’s dream to wed in an intimate affair, while busy producer Packer, who is equally known for his lavish parties and A-list guest lists, had been holding off to find time to plan a much larger wedding celebration.
