ICYMI: Love and Hip Hop: The Wedding… [PHOTOS + FULL VIDEO]

May, 27 2015 | Written by ATLien
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).”

Yandy and Mendeecees pose above with their massive wedding party following the televised ceremony. The cast and crew also shared a slew of photos via social media during the live event…

  This is why Jim’s wifey Crissy can’t stand Yandy "Thirsty" Smith…#Duh
  
  Karen
  
  Chrissy didn’t like Yandy because Yandy wasn’t putting up with that bully!Chrissy didn’t put fear in Yandy at all! That’s why she lost the most in this reality game! Telling Yandy to bow down!Thats why Mona told Chrissy to bow out!Yandy had wayyyy more going on in her life than Chrissy! Chrissy please,youre a straight [email protected] you don’t even respect her enough to spell her name right! Its CHRISSY!
  
  hellok
  
  Yandy is "Thirsty" she was trying to "Get With" Jim Jones on the Low back in the day…#Thirsty

  I LOVE THIS VERSION WAY BETTER THAN THE ATLANTA VERSION!AT LEAST IN NEW YORK MOST OF THEM HAVE REAL CAREERS! NO ONE KNOWS WHAT BOSS CHICK AND MILK DUD DO,UNLESS YOU COUNT HAVING A MILLION DOLLAR BIZZNESS IN YOUR CLOSET.JOSELINE IS MAKIN HITS IN A LANGUAGE ALL HER OWN AND SCRAPPY IS CLIMBING BAMBI THE BEAN STALK EVERYNIGHT….PLEASE!
  
  Simply the Truth
  
  Child ny hiphop is on life support. You New Yorkers kill me not able to except when other cities and rappers do it better then you guys. Ny rappers are wack and holler loud talking about nothing when they rap. All honesty its time for the ny franchise to end ratings have been low for a he last two seasons. It’s over ny all franchises of everything. Housewives, love hiphop, mob wives, blood sweat tears all that shit is hella corny…..ny you are not what’s up!

  I have to agree with Guest.Joseline already through them under the bus,by saying its scripted.Besides there is no way Rasheeda would let someone as boring and as un attractive as Kirk dis-respect her! Then again, Atlanta is the place to go,if you wanna find people who will do anything for a dollar! I wont talk rappers.It would be too embarrassing.I mean JayZ up against Scrappy!STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!
  
  Bobbi
  
  Dead @JayZ vs Scrappy! I love New York and the A,but its becoming a situation where if you want to see us act a fool,you go to Atlanta!Hence RHOA,M2M(where even Atlanta doctors will get extra ghetto),Cuttin it in the ATl,I could go on.ATLANTA-The RATCHET capitol!

  So ghetto

  Didn’t watch and don’t watch any franchise of Love and Hip Hop anymore. That drama is old but happy that Yandy seems happy

  She’s not going to be all that happy when he goes to prison for all those years and she have all those children to take care of, even though that’s what mother’s do You should have waited, Yandy!
- Tishie Jones via Facebook
  
  A mess. So busy and so ghetto. Can’t believe people are praising them
- Cheryl Prentice via Facebook
  
  She married a man that’s about to go to prison.

  That’s the bottom line. I think the message that is being sent is all wrong. I’m not judging that young man, because just about every Black man that "I" know has been to jail. However, since when did we began to GLORIFY a criminal, so they say?
  
  I loved the pic of Yandy alone. But, I do agree that this was the busiest looking wedding that I’ve ever seen. I guess it seems like that, because everybody had to be seen.
  
  VH1 has some growing to do in order to catch up with Bravo weddings, ijs.

  This wedding was better than Kim z’s trailer park wedding and Kandi’s ghetto wedding. This wedding was so beautiful!!!! Gorgeous!!!!
- Dana A Mungin via Facebook
  
  He looked like he just went along with everything. You could tell he was nervous and worried. She made it all about her
  …I just got married and at least considered some of his input. …but hey we didn’t get to see EVERYTHING. The most annoying part was the emphasis on how much was spent….from what I saw they spent a lot but it didn’t look like much.
  
  Pattikake
  
  There’s no need for me to say anything else, other than, he been having that look since he got out of jail. It’s like, he really don’t want his business out there like that, but Yandy controls the ship.

  Or, it is because we have gone down that road before, and we know what’s at the end. Everybody who has a difference of opinion is not a hater, but a contributor of this public forum.

  A beautiful wedding dress!

  Ok wait… So Im reading of yall’s comments and Im lost. How was it ghetto? I think that it was fine. It was live so of course, there’s going to be something happening that’s, for once, “UNSCRIPTED.” The only thing was Nina commentating on play by play once the bridesmaid were walking down the aisle. That was a bit much. Have been to a wedding behind the scenes before it gets started? There is some chaos but it is what it is. It was great wedding. Im glad they were able to tie the knot in their own way.

  I personally thought the wedding and television or was completely invasive, it was hardly ghetto
- Nicole Lacy via Facebook
  
  I loved the wedding. I am happy to see what appears to be true love. It was nice to see a Black woman valued unlike how Jim Jones did Chrissy,The Tara and Peter triangle, or even how Kirk is treating Rasheeda these days. I wish them the best of luck.
- XoXo
  
  The wedding was beautiful. I liked that it was live. What I didn’t like was all of the side bar conversations. Especially during the reciting of the wedding vows. That was tacky. Oh, and they have 3 children. One is his from a previous relationship.

  He has 2 boys that’s not by Yandy and 2 kids by Yandy.

  Pretty dress, boring wedding. I don’t think that was their real wedding & Mona pushed them to do that. Like them together so glad they are married.

  I thought they looked really nice but the preacher talked too much and his mom should have kept those comments to herself. Also mama dees comments were not needed. The scene with Kandi and Joseline was unneeded

  I thought it was beautiful they are happy & that’s all that matter it was they big day they share it the way they wanted.

  it not going to last.

  My question is why was the cast of lhhla and lhhatl there? That proves these shows are completely scripted!
- Priscilla Morley via Facebook
  
  Mandeecee middle son looks about 5 years old…Yandy made a comment that they have been together for 8 years..did Mandeecee have him while they were on a break?
  
  Excuse Me Ma’am
  
  Girl I was saying the same thing. I said look at the break baby because the numbers weren’t adding up. That middle child that looks about 3/4ish has never been mentioned or on the show. I guess yandy has a big heart bcus I don’t think I could except that!

  Nothing Cinderella no cinderilla
  what a waste of tv time she really wants 2 b a prison bride will he be free r not lol

  I just need to know why Mona walked down the isle?
- Msking37
  
  The wedding was beautiful. Mendeecee did not look as if he was extremely happy. He didn’t shed a tear . Maybe its who he is. Yandy was as I expected. beautiful, emotional and committed. I am happy for the both of them, and had been since day one.
  I wish them nothing but more happiness, and many more blessings.
- OleShadyMe
  
  Was that Phaedra in the audience beside Ariane? Right before Mendeecees mom came out?
- James Lee via Facebook
  
  I find it hard to believe she dropped 45k on a watch and 90k on flowers not to mention the dress. How about buying a house since you’re wanting to raise a family? N***a Shit!
  
  Excuse Me Ma’am
  
  Trust me she didn’t spend that kind of money. Yandy and them don’t even have it liken that. Reality tv isn’t paying like that and management is only 10/20%. Don’t believe the hype but you still Renting a split unit wand raising all those kids in a apartment with no yard to run around and play in. Yes I know it’s ny but I know ppl in ny that have yards!

  I loved the wedding. Stevie actually did a good job hosting, I also liked the fact that Mendeecees remembered his vows. I just wish Yandy would have saved some money. 90,000 dollars for flowers is crazy but, its her money. I think it would of been wise to save money for lawyers since they dont know if Mendeecees is gonna go back to jail. Glad they finally jumped the broom #Yandeecees
  
  Excuse Me Ma’am
  
  Trust men yandy didn’t actually drop that kind of bread for this wedding. First and foremost they don’t have it like that.aint no reality tv paying off like that. 2nd she’s not managing no main stream artist and management doesnt pay that much either 10/20%. They can throw any price out there and know one will know any different. All the commercial breaks payed for this wedding. You ppl need to stop being so gullible and believing everything.
- Sheena
  
  wait how was it ghetto? ghetto would of been Rasheeda and Karlie fighting or Amina showing up and fighting Tara because Peter surely wasnt sitting next to his wife. He was there with Tara I thought it was nice. The only thing I would of changed was K Michelle singing the song while she was walking down the aisle and Yandy not walking down the aisle to the played out "here comes the bride" music.
- Simply the Truth
  
  I fInd it very odd that yandy was tripping with mendeecees assistant about being too involved when clearly that’s what she was hired to do when just a couple of years ago she was do nag the same thing but even worse to Chrissy and Jim jones relationship. She was going behind Chrissy and entertaining her mother in law to be messy and it was very clear that yandy and Jim jones had kicked it b4 and just tryed to keep it business after it didn’t work out. Funny how you can rub shit in other ppl face but when it’s being done to you…..you forget what you’ve den to others. It’s called carma.
