FOR DISCUSSION: Pastor Refuses To Marry Bride Wearing Inappropriate Wedding Dress…

Sep, 3 2013 | Written by ATLien

A bride to be in Houston, Texas who thought it was a bright idea to push the envelope with her wedding dress, got a rude awakening when her pastor refused to carry out the ceremony!

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.

Another Amazing Wedding Reception Dance: Meet Dominique Morisseau & Jimmy Keys… [VIDEO]

Jun, 13 2013 | Written by ATLien

I have to admit… I’m a sucker for love and an even bigger sucker for wedding reception dance videos.

[FLASHBACK: The Greatest Wedding Reception Dance EVER! Meet The MaGees... (VIDEOS)]

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.

The Greatest Wedding Reception Dance EVER! Introducing… The MaGees! [VIDEO]

Apr, 9 2013 | Written by ATLien

I have a thing for wedding reception videos… especially since my first one was on a beach in South Carolina attended by a few seagulls and sand crabs but this ain’t about me, it’s about The MaGees.

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.

Watch the MaGee’s ‘do the dayum thang’ below… Continue Reading…

A Closer Look at Monica’s Wedding Dress + Group Shot Of Bridesmaids…. [PHOTOS]

Jul, 20 2011 | Written by ATLien

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.

Inside Monica & Shannon Brown’s Fairy Tale Wedding… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

Jul, 13 2011 | Written by ATLien

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.
