This weekend was a busy one for surprise wedding. First King James queened Savannah at a three day ceremony in San Diego.
Then the legendary R&B crooner John Legend showed his extra-ordinary love for his model girlfriend by making her his wife. Read below to get full details.
LeBron James Weds Savannah Brinson
According to People.com:
Hundreds of guests gathered at the Grand Del Mar resort in San Diego for the 4:30 p.m. ceremony, according to KFMB-TV, which obtained an invitation.
James, 28, proposed to his longtime girlfriend, 27, at a party on New Year’s Eve 2011, and later admitted on Oprah’s Next Chapter that he was nervous. “It felt like a finals game.”
The couple sent out Save the Date notes in March for the three-day celebration, which the New York Post reports was masterminded by wedding planner Preston Bailey, who also planned the Lord of the Rings-themed $9 million nuptials of Silicon Valley mogul Sean Parker.
Guests were welcomed to the celebration with a barbecue on Friday evening before the afternoon wedding on Saturday, and the festivities are expected to wind up with a farewell brunch on Sunday, according to reports.
Among those at the ceremony at the resort’s Capella Chapel were James’s teammate Dwayne Wade and girlfriend Gabrielle Union and NBA players Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony, reports KFMB. Photographers said they spotted Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z but that couldn’t be confirmed.
Brinson, who has two sons with James – LeBron Jr., 8, and Bryce, 5 – told Harper’s Bazaar in 2010 that she’s dreamed of being a bride since the age of 6 and that when she married James, “I want it to be forever.”
“A person like myself always needs a great sidekick and a person you can rely on no matter the circumstances. And she’s that,” James added. “She’s got my back and I love her for that.”
John Legend Weds Chrissy Teigen
The singer and the model made it official when they exchanged vows in front of friends and family in Lake Como, reports People.com.
Legend’s rep confirmed the happy news to USA TODAY.
And Teigen tweeted in the early morning hours Sunday: “Phew. I gotta say, that was a hard secret to keep from you guys.”
The bride wore three different Vera Wang dresses, according to People. Her wedding dress was a strapless ivory gown with a “kind of a sexier feel at the top, like a swimsuit,” she said. Teigen changed into another strapless ivory Vera Wang dress for the reception. And at the after-party she had a third Vera Wang design of the night – a crimson strapless mermaid gown.
Joining the couple to celebrate the special event: Family and friends including Kanye West and Stevie Wonder, along with Brooklyn Decker, who was maid of honor, saysUs Weekly.
