Remember Phaedra Parks? We don’t really hear too much about the former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ cast member these days, but she was among the guests who attended Star Jones’ birthday/wedding last weekend.
Jones married Ricardo Lugo aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise in the Bahamas surrounded by family and friends. The lengthy cruise also provided the couple an opportunity to celebrate Jones’ 56th birthday.

As you know, the duo reunited a few weeks back after Scrappy launched a sweet social media campaign to win back Bambi heart (click HERE if you missed that).
Well apparently Scrappy won more than her heart! In fact, the rumor mill is buzzing that the two secretly wed last week!

Apostle Michael Canty of The Truth Ministries Holiness Church angered an entire wedding party after he refused to marry a bride and groom on their wedding day because he felt her dress was way too revealing.

The bride, Lisa Washington, says ‘she’s never been more embarrassed’ than when the pastor flat out refused to officiate her ceremony a few Saturdays ago.

Families of both the bride and groom were present and food was waiting to be served at the bride’s aunt house for the reception. Family members flew in for the ceremony and many drove long distances to be present for the couples special day.
Guests at the wedding even ‘begged’ leaders of the church to reconsider but Pastor Canty stood firm in his decision that Washington’s dress was NOT appropriate bridal attire.

And while I don’t think anyone will ever top the MaGees’ video, a new one posted this week totally gives them a run for the money.
In a video posted to YouTube Monday, Dominique Morisseau and Jimmy Keys take to the dance floor at their wedding — but this is no ordinary first dance.
The newlyweds shake and shimmy their way through a medley of dance styles and songs, including “(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life” (with a recreation of the famous “Dirty Dancing” lift), “In The Mood” and Heavy D & The Boyz’s “Somebody For Me” and they even incorporate a flower girl into the mix.

Theo and Kimberly MaGee were married on November 11, 2011 and while I’m sure you’ve seen your share of spectacular wedding dances, their’s shall forever go down in my book as the most entertaining ever!
The cute couple personally choreographed an entire routine for their wedding that included the wedding party dancing during the processional to Shalamar’s “Night to Remember”… it’s a must see!
The Bride soon stole the show with her maid and matron of honor to perform Mary J. Blige’s ‘The One’ for her new husband and his best men, followed by the groom’s performance of “Wifey” for his bride.

US Magazine recently released the photo above of Monica’s extraordinary wedding gown.
Monica, 30, and her NBA hottie Shannon Brown, 25, pulled out all the stops and exchanged their vows before 340 guests (including Missy Elliot and bridesmaid Ciara) at Vibiana, a church-turned-event space.
Monica explained in a video filmed after the wedding that her train weighed about 50lbs. She gave a more detailed description of her gown to US Magazine.
For her walk down the aisle, Mo donned a custom, haute couture gown by Stephane Rolland–a fitted and corseted Ivory mermaid gazar dress draped with twisting satin organza, featuring a graphic waves train embroidered with crystal falls.
She accessorized the stunning creation with $1 million in Joel Rosenberg jewels. (Monica changed into another Rolland dress, this one blue, for the reception.)
In discussing the wedding Monica tells the magazine, “Other than when my kids were born it was the best day of my life!”
Mo also released one photo of she and all her bridesmaids, which included Ciara, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris, Vanessa Bryant, Trina, and cousin Luda’s lady love Euxodie.
