Oprah Winfrey Made Everyone Cry by Walking One of Her Students Down the Aisle We already know that Oprah Winfrey is the queen of thoughtful gifts and gestures, and she upheld her title back in April when she treated one of her students from the Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls in South Africa to the ultimate bridal fantasy: She reportedly shut down an entire Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills so that bride-to-be, Lizhuwani Gloria Rapalalani, could search for the perfect wedding dress with her crew.  However, Winfrey's wedding involvement didn't stop there.

The two are currently in Paris putting the finishing touches on their big day and have stayed fairly mum about what we can expect.

The château also has a number of decorative embellishments featured throughout the interior that are inspired from specifi...
