Congrats To The Newly Weds, Mickey "Memphitz" Wright & Antonia "Toya" Carter

This weekend my family traveled to Atlanta to celebrate as my cuzzin, Mickey "Memphitz" Wright married his fiance', Ms. Toya Carter! I was extremely excited because I LOVE anytime my family can get together and it's even greater when it's in celebration of love. Black love is SO BEAUTIFUL :)!

Anywho, in addition to Mickey's family and friends were of course Toya's family and friends.  I loved hearing their New Orleans accents as we all mingled in the lobby waiting for the ceremony to begin.  The rainy weather in ATL almost forced the couple to change their beautiful outside ceremony to an inside ceremony.  However, the rain let up just in time for the bride (that looked STUNNING) to walk down the aisle, outside as planned.

As Toya walked down the aisle, tears came from her eyes.  I looked back at my cousin to see tears falling from his as well.  The bridal party (which included Tiny, Toya's little sister Beatie, Mickey's sister Candice and Toya's friend Danielle) looked beautiful in their gowns as they walked down to Kelly Price BLOWING "He Proposed To Me."  Toya's father walked her down the aisle and her mother told her how beautiful she looked once she made it all the way down.  I know people mainly focus on the bride, but I have to point out that my big cuzzin looked mighty freaking dapper as he awaited his bride :)! 


The reception was great!  I loved their first dance, it wasn't just one song, but a mixture of a few different ones.  The only one I can remember was "Hey Mickey" by Toni Basil.  It was PURE CUTENESS as the two dance to "hey Mickey you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, hey Mickey", LOL.   As we were on the dance floor doing the "Wobble" we looked up to see the bride jump in the middle of us after changing from her gorgeous wedding gown to her gorgeous sparkling reception gown.  Both of their daughters spoke and mentioned how much they loved their new step parents. Later in the evening, Lloyd came in and performed "Cupid" for the couple.  BTW, that lil Reginae is SOMETHING ELSE.  We messed up and asked her to "teach me how to dougie", whewwwwwwww, honey! She went IN, made me feel old as hell, LMAO!!

Atlanta's Hollywood circuit was definitely in the building celebrating with their girl.  Kandi tweeted the above pic of herself with the bride, Monica, Rasheeda, Nivea and Lauren London.

I've gotten a few question about how this person or that person was when I met them.  I can totally understand those questions cuz I like to know how "celebrities" are in "real life" also LOL.  I can honestly say that everybody was really nice.  The "nicest celebrity ever" award goes to Mrs. Monica Brown (who is even more beautiful in person). When she and Shannon walked by I asked them to stop cuz I wanted to tell them something. She kinda looked like "what she finna say" LOL, but stopped and listened.  I told them "look, I love y'all together", Shannon just started laughing. I guess it's something he keeps hearing LOL.  I reminded her of the blog post I wrote about them that she read and responded to on Twitter. In that blog post I mentioned that I was waiting on them to add a little girl to their bunch.  She said that everyone was making that request and that they were definitely "practicing." I told her to leave the reception early so they could make it happen LOL.

While Monica was the only person that I actually had a conversation with, I did have a little interaction with Tiny and Tamar.  Tamar is exactly what you see on "Braxton Family Values" but she's not as extra as you would think.  She's VERY polite and even offered my lil cousin a compliment on her shoes.  I over heard her saying "thank you, please, and excuse me" as she spoke to other guests. She was standing next to me on the dance floor as we did the "Wobble" and she is def a character.  It's like she's ready to perform at any chance she gets LOL.  She was swinging that hair and really WOBBLING, LOL.  She was seated next to my Mommy at the reception and my mom mentioned how nice she was.

Tiny and Kandi both seemed very nice as well.  Tiny smiled a lot and my mother mentioned that she noticed a humbleness about her and I agree.  I've seen people on blogs mention that they think Tiny and Toya had issues but I don't think so.  They seem to have a really genuine friendship. 


Well..that's about all I have to say.  I wish Mickey and Toya nothing but the BEST in their marriage! Oh BTW, maybe I'll be next. I CAUGHT THE BOUQUET, tehehe!!
