The Big Day
For the ceremony, Will chose a classic black tuxedo custom-made by Michael Andrews. He added sentimental touches such as gold cufflinks engraved with his father’s initials, a brooch from his mother, and an IWC Portugieser Chronograph watch gifted by Amanda.
Amanda’s attire: she selected the Violette gown from Danielle Frankel after trying 50 dresses, paired it with a custom pleated watteau back and Rene Caovilla beaded heels. The couple’s chuppah, crafted by Cerka Creative, complemented the museum’s modern art setting.
> “My accessories for my wedding night were particularly meaningful,” said Will Reeve. “I wore gold cufflinks that belonged to my late father, inscribed with his initials, ‘CR,’ a brooch that was my late mother’s, and an IWC Portugieser Chronograph watch that Amanda gave to me as a wedding gift.”
Honoring the Past
During the ceremony, two chairs were left empty, each adorned with a flower, to honor Will’s parents. He paused to reflect on their absence and the presence they felt in the room.
> “I spent a deliberate moment staring at the two chairs right in front, each adorned with a flower, left empty to honor my late parents,” he told Vogue. “I thought about all the moments in my life they’d missed out on, but also how present they felt in the room and in the ceremony.”
Will’s brother-in-law, Garren Givens, co-officiated alongside Rabbi Hanniel Levenson, who helped weave Jewish traditions into the interfaith ceremony.
Reception Highlights
After the ceremony, the newlyweds slipped into the Rubell Museum Library for a quiet moment before appearing at the reception. Their first dance was to “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing” by Leo Sayer, which quickly transitioned into a traditional Jewish hora.
> “You haven’t lived until you’ve been flung toward the ceiling in a chair,” Amanda joked to Vogue.
> “After we got down, Amanda’s parents went up,” Will added. “Suitably energized and a bit sweaty, we all then sat for dinner.”
Guests received handwritten sticky notes at their tables, a nod to the couple’s habit of sneaking Post-It love notes into each other’s suitcases.

Post-Wedding Reflections
Will and Amanda first announced their engagement on Instagram on November 10, 2024, after Will proposed on November 8, 2024 in New York City. He later described the proposal during a February 2025 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, revealing the misdirection that surprised Amanda.
> “I told co-hosts Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that there was some misdirection involved to ensure that my future bride would be surprised,” he recalled. “Amanda was led to believe she was attending a charity event in Manhattan, but when we walked into the venue, it was filled with candles and flowers, and a cellist was playing.”
The couple’s friends and family, including ABC News colleagues Robin Roberts, Sam Champion, and Lara Spencer, shared photos and congratulatory messages on social media, calling the wedding a “magical night celebrating a magical couple.”
> “Kickoff to the most precious and perfect wedding. Congratulations Will and Amanda. We love you guys so much,” posted Lara Spencer on Instagram.
> “A magical night celebrating a magical couple,” wrote Robin Roberts on Instagram Stories.
The wedding not only celebrated their love but also honored the legacy of Christopher and Dana Reeve, whose wedding bands were worn by the groom on the day. Their story continues to inspire those who know them.
