Terrence J and Mikalah Sultan traveled to their favorite city to tie the knot!
The actor and former BET host, 43 — whose full name is Terrence Jenkins — and the model, 27, got married in an "elegant, classy and timeless" wedding on Tuesday, Nov. 11, at luxury beach resort Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. An all-black, black-tie dress code, as well as tasteful drapery, candles and flowers elevated the sophisticated celebration.
"The wedding is a dream come true," Sultan exclusively tells PEOPLE. "Just being able to get everyone we love in the same room to celebrate the deep love and connection TJ and I have is beyond fulfilling."
Approximately 130 guests flew out for the nuptials, many of whom got their passport for the first time for the wedding. Among the celebrity guests was Black-ish star Anthony Anderson, 55, who officiated the ceremony.
For her getting-ready moments, Mikalah wore the Inna Elsie signature bridal robe Zarina — a luxurious, ethereal tulle robe known for its puffy, dramatic silhouette. The extra-volume Martina-style tulle added breathtaking softness and movement, bringing full drama and romance to her wedding-morning photos.
On the wedding day, Sultan walked down the aisle to Elvis Presley’s “Can’t Help Falling in Love” — the first song she and Terrence danced to together after getting engaged, and also the last dance she shared with her grandfather.
During the ceremony, the couple paid tribute to their loved ones, including Terrence’s late father and Sultan’s late grandfather. Terrence and Sultan exchanged “deeply personal” handwritten vows before officially saying “I do.”
“To me, marriage means choosing your best friend every day,” Terrence says. “Building a life filled with love, laughter, and unwavering support. Marriage means, through sickness and through health, ’til death do us part.”
Terrence and Sultan have been inseparable since meeting in Manchester, England.
The former 106 & Park host proposed on Dec. 3, 2023, at the Perez Art Museum in Miami, the rooftop of which he rented out and surprised Sultan with an engagement party attended by their closest friends and family members. Sultan gushes that Terrence always knows how to make her "feel safe, loved and supported." She shares, "He’s my biggest cheerleader and my best friend."
Now, the newlyweds plan on "continuing to love each other and enjoy [their] lives together."
"Every day is an adventure," Sultan says. "I’m always excited about our future. We have so much life to experience and every day is a journey together!"
She adds, "Our life together is everything I could’ve asked for."
