Muhammad Ali, who has Parkinson's disease, walked his daughter down the aisle before 140 friends and dozens of onlookers in a ceremony performed by the Rev. George Clements.

"Muhammad Ali sat throughout the whole reception and invited people to come up and take pictures with him," an unidentified wedding source told the Sun-Times.

Jamillah, one of Ali's nine children, works at the Illinois Secretary of State's Office.

Joyce, the son of former Illinois state Sen. Jeremiah Joyce, is a lawyer and a former prize fighter known as "Irish Mike Joyce" who promotes young boxers through a club at Chicago's Leo Catholic High School, said his brother, Kevin Joyce.
