With famous friends looking on, Spanx founder Sara Blakely married Jesse Itzler at sunset Saturday on the beach in Boca Grande, Fla.
The Atlanta entrepreneur first met the co-founder of Marquis Jets when she became a client of the New York groom’s private jet leasing company a few years back.
Guests included actor Matt Damon, playwright Eve Ensler, rapper Doug E. Fresh, Collective Soul frontman Ed Roland and his wife Michaeline, Atlanta morning radio personality Vikki Locke and her husband Michael Hughes, MRPR public relations firm founder Meg Reggie and her husband Rick Butgereit, Spanx employees past and present and members of the New York Knicks, the groom’s favorite team.
Valets were standing by to park each guest’s golf cart, which had been assigned to them upon check-in at the luxurious Gasparilla Inn & Club. The couple had rented the entire resort for the weekend. Complimentary flip-flops were lined up, according to size, for attendees to slip to avoid the particles of shells on the beach.
