“I was already crying before I even started,” Jordyn recalls. “But once I reached the altar, everything else disappeared. All I could see was him. I wasn’t thinking about the dress, the flowers, the guests, or any of the details we had spent so much time planning. I was just looking at the person I was about to marry.”
During the service, Jordyn and Karl exchanged matching Sixteen Stone by Tiffany & Co. wedding bands. Afterward, the couple took a private moment to read vows they’d written. “I loved that we chose to keep that part just for us,” Jordyn says. “With so much of the day being shared with the people we love, having those few quiet moments together felt incredibly special.”
Once they’d recited their vows, the newlyweds took portraits and mingled with their families during cocktail hour. Jordyn’s dress was then bustled and they headed into the glass tent for dinner. The reception tent was draped in lace, organza, and satin fabric, and all of the tables were different shapes and draped in sage green satin cloth, except for the head table, which was covered in lace.
After guests made their way inside the tent, the celebration really got started, and Jordyn changed into her second Danielle Frankel dress: a custom layered Chantilly and elderflower lace strapless gown with an asymmetric pickup drape at the hip. The bride’s mother and the groom’s father both gave toasts, and there were four wedding cakes by Cory Pohlman Cakes, one being the focal point with a vintage cake topper.
“The band was incredible, the food was amazing, and the energy completely shifted into a party,” Jordyn remembers. “It felt like everyone could finally exhale and just celebrate.” Jordyn and Karl wanted the evening to feel elevated and old school, and Weiss delivered with a 15-piece band followed by a DJ. “We wanted there to be real connection and for everyone to put their phones down,” Karl says. “We wanted that pre-phones 2000s vibe.”
“We didn’t want it to feel performative,” Jordyn adds. “This has been one of the best, most successful years of our lives—being in the NBA Finals was surreal. And everything [at the wedding] was beautiful, but what I remember most is the feeling in the room. There was so much love surrounding us, and you could genuinely feel how happy everyone was to be there witnessing that moment with us.”
The star-studded guest list included Timothée Chalamet, Kylie Jenner, Hailey and Justin Bieber, Gayle King, Jaden Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith, Ben Stiller, and Michael B. Jordan—plus, of course, a host of Karl’s Knicks teammates, including NBA Finals MVP Jalen Brunson and his wife, Ali Marks. After dancing until the early morning, the newlyweds ended the night sitting outside among their friends eating In-N-Out burgers.
Now that the wedding weekend is over, the message Jordyn keeps receiving from family and friends who were there is that they left feeling inspired by the amount of love they felt in the room. “That means so much to me, because that was exactly what we wanted,” the bride says. “We were incredibly intentional about every detail, not just how everything looked, but how we wanted people to feel. It was authentic to us, it was filled with love, and I wouldn’t change that experience for the world.”
