Robin Williams' youngest son gets married on late actor's 68th birthday


Robin Williams’ youngest son has honoured his late father by getting married on what would have been his 68th birthday.

Cody Williams, 27, married Maria Flores on Sunday, July 21, in a ceremony held at the home that Robin shared with his ex-wife Marsha Garces Williams.

It was there that Cody was raised alongside his 29-year-old sister Zelda, who praised Cody for giving the date new meaning.

The home was also the place where Cody and Maria’s love affair began, six years ago.

People has reported that wedding guests were asked to hold up yellow roses, while a recording of Maria singing ‘Never Enough’ was played.

The day was celebrated by Zelda with a sweet tribute on Instagram that hailed Cody’s choice of July 21 for his wedding day.

She posted photos from the day with a lengthy caption which read: “The 21st of July has meant many things to me over the years.

“It’s the birthday of one of my favorite souls still on this earth, @junotemple. It’s the day Neil Armstrong stepped on the moon (as a space nerd, that’s pretty damn important).

When Cody and Zelda announced their engagement

“And it was the day my Dad was born, and the last day I got to see him.

“That last one had begun to usurp the joy of the first two in recent years… that is, until two days ago, when it became something new.”

Zelda went on to celebrate Maria and welcomed her into the Williams family.

She continued: “On the 21st of July, 2019, it became the day I officially gained a new sister!

“To @mariaaafloresssswilliams and Cody, you are a light in all of our lives. I’m so grateful to have paid witness to your love over the years, to have watched you grow and care for each other in ways we should all be so lucky to experience.

“You were already part of the family in my eyes, but now there’s an official slip of paper somewhere that agrees!

“Zak, Mom and I love you both dearly, and I think I can speak for all of us when I say CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BRIDE AND GROOM!!!”

Robin Williams took his own life in August 2014, at the age of 63 and his eldest son Zak appeared on Good Morning Britain earlier this week, opening up about his father’s struggles.

Zak said: “It was sad to see someone who was suffering so. As a family member and a child, you want to do everything you can to help soothe and ease what seemed to be intense personal pain.

”And there were times where it felt like there was helplessness from my part, I didn’t know what I could do, or how I could be of the best support.”
