Although the weather was a little wet, the couple did not let the rain ruin their big day.
“The weather was kind of iffy, so we said, ‘Let’s just do it inside,’ ” Santana, 63, told People. “Because no matter where we did it, the sun was shining.”
“Rain represents mercy,” adds Blackman, 51. “It couldn’t have been more beautiful. … My favorite part of the ceremony was when we washed our hands in a bowl of rainwater.”
The couple hosted 180 guests, including Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and comedian George Lopez, according to People.
Blackman, a jazz and rock drummer best known for her work with Lenny Kravitz, wore a silk dress from Zoro for the ceremony.
