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!!

I love your Site. You are always positive and you keep the information real while you allowing others to form their own opinions of things. Unlike Sandra Rose who is far too opionated. She always have negative reviews and she puts black people down all the time. She tried to go in on Memphitz on Twitter but he stopped her in her tracks. I love Toya and Memphitz together. I truly believe that their love is genuine just as I believe her frienship with Tiny is solid. All friends go thru things but it's the getting past them that makes their bond that much stronger. Tiny and Toya have that bond. Great knowing that black folks can get together and celebrate LOVE with no drama and confusion. Thanks for the news and keep up the good work. BTW, you look gorgeous in your Brides Maid gown.LOL! I kinda peeped that:)

Thank you SOOOOOOOOO much for that last comment, I really appreciate it! Like you said, I try my best to keep it real and I try to leave as much negative mess out of my stories as possible. Sandra Rose is clearly bitter and probably a little slow, LOL. Rather the event was recording or not, the reason for being there was REAL! And thanks for the compliment about my dress. I wasn't a bridesmaid tho, just ended up matching almost perfectly LOL. AND I caught the bouquet (after almost slinging my lil cousin to the floor, LOL), so I ended up with the beautiful flowers. :) Thanks again for the comment, keep em' coming!!

This was a really good write up. I love descriptive blog posts like this b/c I wanted to know what REALLY went down at the wedding.

Although I haven't liked many Monica songs for a LONG time, I am a fan of spirit and personality. She just radiates "nice" IMO.

And I have to say girl..you looked f*cking HOT!! DAMN that dress and hair = everything.

Thanks for sharing this with us! Loved it and so jealous I wasn't there!

Wanta positive review! I wanted an insight on how the wedding was and how happy the bride was and you told me all that like a fairytale story! Thank god u didn't try to be like the other gossip sites that are their 2 find faults! As a family member , all i want u 2 do is to pray that is marriage/union last and they progress together on this journey! They all looked happy and help me talk to memphitz to stay loving forever because people i watching to see faults! As we continue to put this newly wed in our prayers , let our precious mind have this saying -Toya was heartbroken, needed love since shw was a baby, feel into the wrong hands when she was a child but let her marraige with memphitz bring her love,joys and beautiful kids- Amen! KEEP ON THE GOD WORK GOD'S CHILD!

They are a beautiful couple and they are blessed with family and friends who love them. All that said does not make the haters go away. Haters know their are those of us who will band together against you to help protect that which GOD has joined together.
