(Black PR Wire) CAYMAN ISLANDS - Cayman Airways and HCP Media have unveiled Caymanian star Grace Byers (née Gealey) and her husband Trai Byers as the cover stars of the upcoming May/June Weddings issue of Cayman Airways Skies magazine. Grace and Trai co-star on the hit FOX show, "Empire," an American musical drama television series created by Lee Daniels and Danny Strong with an average of 7 million viewers per episode, now in its fourth season. Grace was raised in the Cayman Islands and still has a deep love for the community. "It really is a pleasure when I get to come back home to the Islands," said Grace Byers. "As a girl raised in Bodden Town, I couldn't have imagined getting married anywhere else. I'm proud to represent Cayman Airways and the Cayman Islands on the cover of Skies."

Grace's ties to the Islands and her life as a newlywed and star of one of the hottest shows on television are all touched upon in her celebrity interview with Skies. Within its pages, readers will also indulge in all things weddings, from planning a picture-perfect Cayman Islands fête and going green to gifts for the wedding party. The award-winning publication offers things to see and do both in Cayman and in Cayman Airways gateway cities around the U.S. and the Caribbean.
