Porsha Williams and her husband, Simon Guobadia, hit the dance floor to turn up after their second wedding ceremony. Go inside the second celebration to see Nene Leakes, Cynthia Bailey, and more…
After marrying in a traditional Nigerian native law and customary ceremony on Friday, former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams and Nigerian businessman Simon Guobadia married again on Saturday in an American wedding in Atlanta.
For their second ceremony, the couple tied the knot at a Methodist church in front of 350 family members and friends.
"I definitely want the Lord to be in the place,” Porsha told PEOPLE ahead of her nuptials. "I want the Holy Spirit to usher us into being a husband and wife. I'm from the south, so I love being in church. I've never been married in a church, and Simon's never been married in a church, so it's going to be a new experience for both of us."
The beautiful bride walked down the aisle in a white lace Frida gown as her brother Hosea Williams III, singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard sang "For Every Mountain" with a gospel choir and 40-piece orchestra. The couple decided to wait for the second ceremony to exchange their wedding bands.
”We call each other 'hubby' and 'wifey' all the time, but now it's going to be official, so I think I'm going to cry," Porsha said. "Simon says he's not going to cry, but he's cried at home when we just talk about our relationship, so I think he's going to cry. I think we have a silent bet."
The couple included all of their children for the nuptials. Porsha’s 3-year-old daughter, Pilar Jhena (whom she shares with ex-Dennis McKinley) served as the flower girl. Simon’s five children from previous marriages—Quentin, Nicole, Christian, Benjamin and Ximena— were also included.
”Pilar is going to be a flower girl, and her dress is so cute, I could've copied it for a wedding gown," the former “RHOA” star explained. "Then my niece, Baleigh, my sister's daughter, is going to be another flower girl. Our daughter, Ximena, is going be a junior bridesmaid. Our sons, Christian and Benjamin, are going to walk my grandmother down the aisle. Simon's oldest son, Quentin, is going to walk him down the aisle."
Porsha’s bestie Shamea Morton served as matron of honor, and Porsha’s sister Lauren served as her maid of honor.
The wedding fashions came through like Porsha said they would. After the ceremony, the new bride changed into a gown by Albina Dyla for their reception ball held at the St. Regis Atlanta.
Among those in attendance were former and current "Housewives," including Nene Leakes, Cynthia Bailey, Kandi Burruss, Monyetta Shaw, Drew Sidora, and Kim Zolciak-Biermann. Other guests included comedian Rickey Smiley, Karlie Redd from "Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta," Quad Webb from "Married to Medicine," Jennifer Williams from "Basketball Wives," rapper T.I., and singer Tiny Harris.

”Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta” star Sierra Gates and her fiancé Eric were also in the mix:
At the reception, guests were treated to a surprise performance by Dru Hill.
”I really wanted to hear the song 'Beauty Is Her Name,'" Porsha shared. "I have always thought about having on a wedding dress and dancing to it. And then my husband would say, 'Beauty Is Her Name.' I love Dru Hill and am so glad the whole group is back together."
Much like the first wedding, the couple asked their guests to refrain from filming. However, a few clips from the wedding ended up online. A video of the couple cutting the cake made its way to Twitter.
The wedding cake was so tall that the couple had to use a sword to cut it:

”If extra was a bride, it'd be me," Porsha told PEOPLE. "I promise you I did not know that I was this extra."
During the reception, Porsha and her hubby got on the dance floor to “swag surf” with their family and friends. In the clip, Simon looked like he was a bit tired from the two-day wedding festivities. Check it out below:
