"The weather was kind of iffy, so we said, 'Let's just do it inside,'" Santana told People.com. "Because no matter where we did it, the sun was shining."

"Rain represents mercy," added Blackman. "It couldn't have been more beautiful."

Santana was divorced from Deborah, his wife of 34 years, in 2007.
