Love and Hip Hop cast members Yandy Smith and Mendeecees Harris have officially tied the knot after 8 years of ‘courtship’.

[Sidebar: I’m so NOT a fan of the New York version of the popular reality show, but since several of you requested I post this… I’ll gladly oblige.]

The ‘hip-hop’ couple wed in a lavish ceremony in NYC that was shown live on VH1 Monday night (May 25, 2015).

Yandy and Mendeecees’ family, friends and VH1 co-workers all basked in the glow of the reality show’s first real live wedding. Also featured in the service were the pair’s two kids 2-year-old Omere and 4-month-old Skylar.

Nina Parker (formerly of TMZ) and Stevie J. (LHHATL) played host to the festivites and attendees included Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker (RHOA), Marlo Hampton (unemployed), Big Tigger (V-103), the cast of Mob Wives, Lil Scrappy, Mama Dee, Young Joc, Bambi, Joseline Hernandez, Ray-J, Princess, Rasheeda and just about anyone else who wanted their 2 seconds of fame during the live ceremony.

US Weekly shared exclusive photos from the event and shared details about Yandy’s wedding gown:

Clad in a stunning $25,000 Pnina Tornai gown, Yandy posed for an official portrait beneath a canopy of tulle and flowers. The official wedding tagline was “Who wants a perfect love story anyway?” which references Beyonce’s lyric from Jay Z’s song “Part II (On the Run).”
