Larry - who shares Tia with his wife Sylvie - described the wedding as 'magnificent' and said it was a 'special day' filled with 'so much love'.
He also told how the traditional father-daughter first dance was to a rendition of Bill Withers' hit Lean on Me as a video of the adorable moment played on screen.
He confessed he was repeatedly reduced to tears on the day, adding: '(Tia) was pretty happy. She said on the day 'I get to marry my best friend' so it was special.
'The speeches were lovely, coming together with the family. It was everything, I'm sure when other people get married, it's the same. Five boxes of Kleenexes.'
Photographs from the wedding showed Larry beaming with pride as he gave Tia a kiss when she arrived at the nuptials in a white limousine.
He planted a kiss on her cheek before they walked down the aisle hand-in-hand, with Larry smiling from ear-to-ear.
Tia looked every inch the bride as she stunned in an off-the shoulder ivory gown with a single puffed sleeve.
Larry opted for a classic tuxedo with a shirt and tie, and could not have looked happier before and after the wedding.

The TV star and his wife Sylvie - who also share a son Jye, 30 - watched the proceedings with massive smiles on their faces as they chatted animatedly.
Tia's new husband Rowell cut a dapper figure in an olive green suit with a white shirt and tie.
Larry previously revealed he was moved to tears when Tia's then-boyfriend Rowell asked for his permission to marry her.
The Channel 7 star admitted it is a 'tough time' in a parent's life when their child begins dating, and said that seeing Tia get engaged overwhelmed him with emotion.
'It's tough because you want them to be safe and happy. But seeing her get engaged to Rowell was easy as we love him,' he said at the time.
'He is a lovely guy. To see them in a relationship, that's meant to be. They're balanced and beautiful together.'
Larry said he was immediately moved to tears when Rowell asked him for permission to ask Tia to marry him, despite planning to ask him about his 'intentions'.
'I had all these questions for the guy that would ask me this, about his intentions and bank balance and what car he drove.
'But what happened... I cried straight away, like a blubbering mess.'
Back in November 2022, Larry shared the exciting engagement news with his Instagram fans by posting a heartwarming photo of the lovebirds.
'All a father like me can hope and pray for is that one day his baby girl finds a partner who will love and adore, respect and admire, cherish and protect her the way he's tried to,' Larry wrote in the caption.

'Well, that partner has arrived and we feel very very blessed. Congratulations on your engagement you two,' he went on.
'Rowell thank you for being a bit old fashioned and asking me if you could ask Tia for her hand in marriage.
'I was trying to be a mature, tough dad but I think I just cried. Welcome to our crazy family, we're looking forward to millions of special moments with you two.'
Larry and his wife Sylvie met in the 1990s on a plane while she was working as a flight attendant.
The television host and his wife have been married since 1995.
