PHOTOS: Malika Andrews shares wedding highlights with NBA reporter spouse
ESPN host Malika Andrews has tied the knot with NBA reporter Dave McMenamin. Photos of their wedding were posted on Andrews' Instagram account to commemorate their special day. She also posted the photos with a heartfelt message for both of them.
According to Andrews' post, they made it official on Kobe Bryant's special day, Aug. 24. After being engaged for 21 months, the two exchanged vows.
Take a look at the photos of their wedding.
"When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it," Andrews posted on Instagram.
According to Lilah Ramzi of Vogue, the couple had their wedding in San Francisco, at the foot of the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Ramzi reported that the couple always wanted to get married in the Bay Area. Andrews is from Oakland.
"We always knew we wanted to get married in the Bay Area, where Malika is from," McMenamin said. "When we arrived at Cavallo Point for the first time, it just felt right."
Given that the couple's careers are focused on covering basketball, the two featured a fully functional basketball hoop at their reception. A longtime friend of Andrews' mother, Diane Raike, officiated the wedding and incorporated traditions from Jewish and Catholic beliefs (Andrews is Jewish; McMenamin is Catholic).
