Some doubted it would happen, but the day finally came when Denver Nuggets forward, Carmelo Anthony married his long-time fiancé, Lala Vasquez Saturday afternoon. The couple have been together for five years and have a three-year-old son.
As expected the wedding was full of guest attendees including Kim Kardashian (who was clearly not afraid of Twitter during the ceremony), Justin Timberlake, Ludacris, Lebron James and Ciara to name a few.
The blushing bride glowed in a Vera Wang princess style gown and held a fresh bouquet of red roses. The ceremony that was at the famous Cipriani’s 42nd was officiated by Michael Eric Dyson.
According to People Magazine:
The Manhattan venue, featuring towering marble columns and chandeliers, was transformed into a red-themed celebration featuring red table cloths, centerpieces of red Ecuadorian roses, hundreds of candles and thousands of red roses hanging from the high ceiling.
Vazquez and Anthony invited their guests with a red and gold wedding invitation decorated with Swarovski crystals. Designed by invitation company Lehr & Black, it was delivered in a black box featuring their first initials.
The couple, who were engaged on Christmas Day 2004, kicked off their wedding weekend on Friday evening with a rehearsal dinner on a boat featuring gambling, cigar rollers, a buffet-style dinner and dancing to a DJ.
The wedding, which was filmed for an upcoming VH1 reality show, was planned by event planner Mindy Weiss.
Congrats to the happy couple!!!
