![Boo’d Up: Ludacris Throws ‘Fab’ Birthday Bash For Eudoxie… [PHOTOS]](http://cdn.straightfromthea.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/Ludcris-FAB-Birthday-Party-10-520x547.jpg)
Monica tied the knot for a second time last weekend (July 9, 2011) with her L.A. Lakers boo Shannon Brown and The Insider’s Kevin Frazier got the exclusive coverage.
Immediately following the ceremony, Monica said the wedding fully exceeded her expectations and fulfilled her dream of being spectacular.
“I was just overwhelmed. I’m glad because I didn’t think about this 50 lb train that I was dragging behind me. I just had to take a deep breath, because I was really trying not to cry.”
Monica plans to auction off her reception dress to benefit the Susan G. Komen foundation, the world’s largest grassroots network of breast cancer survivors and activists.

Among the celebrity guests attending last weekend’s ceremony and reception were fellow Los Angeles Laker Kobe Bryant and his wife Vanessa, Ciara, Nene Leakes and LL Cool J.

The event’s planner, Mindy Weiss, created a blue-themed wedding wonderland at the renovated cathedral Vibiana in downtown Los Angeles.
As you know, the couple secretly tied the knot in a private ceremony last November, but decided this time to hold an “official” wedding in front of family and friends.
LL Cool J described the ceremony was “romantic,” with just the right music to set the mood. Mo’s good friend Lala Vasquez-Anthony said love was definitely “in the air” and revealed that the very next day was her one-year anniversary with husband Carmelo Anthony.

As far as the honeymoon is concerned, Monica responded that she didn’t know yet, explaining that her cousin Ludacris (who couldn’t make the ceremony due to a scheduling conflict) sent over his private jet to whisk she and Shannon off to an unknown exotic location.
Kevin later found out the newlyweds flew to the Caribbean island of Anguilla. Congrats again to the happy couple! 
Monica and Shannon celebrated their union with the wedding of their dreams, witnessed by all of their family and friends. BEAUTIFUL! I’ve always imagined my wedding in a similar fashion… *sigh*

Monica + Shannon Brown = A Good Look! Congrats to them wishing them well and a lifetime of happiness!
This is the most inspid PR event I’ve ever seen. And for what? Just because Olive Oyl’s got a record out? Please. And this just after one year of the original tying of the knot? Normally a couple might have a few years under their belt before re-doing their vows! I mean, Olive was engaged for like 10 years to Rocko and still never put a ring on her finger. And now she wants to run down the aisle on a yearly basis? Absolutely insane, and sane people are just playing along with it as if it all made perfect sense. Y’all just stoopid!

@BLOCKHEAD YOU ARE A SIMPLE MINDED DUMBA**……….FIRST OF ALL THEIR FIRST CEREMONY WAS DURING THE BASKETBALL SEASON AND THERE WAS NO TIME FOR THE WEDDING OF THEIR DREAMS. PLENTY PEOPLE THAT GET MARRIED AT THE JUSTICE OF THE PEACE HAVE A WEDDING LATER AS MONICA AND SHANNON DID. THIS WEDDING WAS TASTEFUL, CLASSY, ELEGANT AND FLAT OUT BEAUTIFUL. HATES A UGLY TRAIT AND IF YOU TIRED OF SEEING THINGS ABOUT HER WEDDING. STOP DA*N POSTING. SKIP IT ,IGNORE IT. BUT WAIT THAT WOULD MAKE TO MUCH SENSE RIGHT.THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL TOGETHER AND THIS WEDDING WAS STRAIGHT OUT OF A DREAM BOOK. BTW IDIOT IVE BEEN MARRIED 5 YEARS AND WILL STILL WHIP OUT MY WEDDING PHOTOS, DISPLAY THEM, AND RANDOMLY BRING THEM UP… THATS WHAT HAPPILY MARRIED PEOPLE DO
