The Playboy Mansion was the setting for the nuptials of Kendra Wilkinson and her Philadelphia Eagle honey, Hank Baskett.
About 500 guests were invited to the wedding hosted by the gracious Hugh Hefner on his mansion. Wilkinson’s former roommates Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt were the bridesmaids for the occasion. Although at one time, Hefner was considered for the honor, eventually, it was Kendra’s brother Colin was the one who gave her away.
“I could not be more delighted,” says Hefner. “This is one of the happiest days in one of the happiest places on Earth.”
“Watching Colin walk Kendra down the aisle was really emotional and beautiful,” the bride’s mom, Patty Wilkinson, said. “She looked breathtaking.”
Baskett has proposed wedding to Wilkinson after a brief whirlwind romance. Earlier, the couple had also announced that they are expecting their first child together this year. “We don’t officially know, but we keep saying he because we don’t want to say it,” Wilkinson told the Awful Truth this week. “The doctor kind of said he thinks it’s a boy. But we don’t know for sure yet.”
It was certainly a night to remember. “It was a fairytale wedding,” Mary Wilkinson, Kendra’s grandmother said. “Holly cried like a faucet and I held back tears,” said Marquardt before heading off to the reception. “I’m usually the emotional one. The ceremony was short and sweet and bombarded by helicopters. [Kendra's] dress was like a princess and I’m going to catch the bouquet!”
