Millions know Shaunie O’Neal as executive producer of the VH-1 reality TV series, Basketball Wives. But now, we’re all getting to know her in a brand-new way: as a fabulous First Lady!

The entrepreneur, 47, just got hitched to Pastor Keion Henderson, 40, Senior Pastor of The Lighthouse Church & Ministries, headquartered in Houston, Texas.

The two exchanged vows in an outdoor ceremony officiated by Bishop T.D. Jakes, on May 28 at Aurora Anguilla Resort and Golf Club, where nearly 200 guests attended.

Romance was in the air as the glowing bride entered, while Grammy-winning gospel singer, Yolanda Adams, performed. The new missus was walked down the aisle by her three sons.

"I just lost my dad in February," O'Neal told PEOPLE. "So, I really struggled with how I was going to get down the aisle. Losing my dad in the midst of planning this wedding was a lot, so my sons handed me off."

Her five children with ex Shaquille O'Neal were there to share in the joyous occasion, making the day even more special for Mom.

O'Neal wore a sparkling gown by Jean Louis Sabajai in partnership with fashion stylist Eric Archibald, and the groom donned a cream tux by Dolce and Gabbana, while the groomsmen were clad in Atelier Houston.

During the reception, friends and family continued the celebration and dined on Anguillian-inspired dishes, according to PEOPLE.

The night also included a performance by surprise guests, The Isley Brothers, as well as a song by Henderson, who can preach as well as sing.

"We wanted our guests to have a weekend of enjoyment," O'Neal said. "We just like to have fun and love on each other, and we wanted to do that with our friends and family."

Congrats to the happy couple!
