Opera Star Denyce Graves’ Wedding

In 2001, the crystalline voice of Denyce Graves singing “America The Beautiful” and “The Lord’s Prayer” at The Washington National Cathedral helped to heal the hearts of the nation just days after after 9/11. Eight years later, the opera star’s voice echoed within the cathedral’s walls once again as she said “I do” to her love, Dr. Robert Montgomery on September 12, 2009.

Their two souls already united as one in two previous ceremonies– an intimate “I do” in June at the same Washington DC venue and an African ceremony at the Masai Mara village in Kenya on August 18, 2009, the happy couple pledged their devotion once again in the presence of family and friends, who witnessed the bride walk down the aisle in an off-the-shoulder silhouette by Donna Langman toward her waiting groom, who stood at the altar in a kilt, People magazine reported.
