Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star married her hubby in 2014. While we saw some moments televised on their Bravo special, more of the good times probably came long after the cameras stopped rolling!

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade

Not only did the couple debut their very own handshake soon after being announced as husband and wife but we are almost certain that their reception was a party no one would ever forget!

The faith and love that the Franklin’s share definitely would have had our hearts and eyes full of nothing but love and tears during their gorgeous ceremony.

Usher and Grace Miguel

We are dying to party with Usher and his super secretive wedding to Grace Miguel in 2015 would have been the perfect time! The singer spilled the beans of his Cuban nupitals on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in December.

Viola Davis and Julius Tennon

The How to Get Away with Murder Emmy-winning star renewed her vows with hubby Julius in February and with guests like Oprah Winfrey and Stedman Graham, Gayle King, sisters Debbie Allen and Phylicia Rashad, and several of her HTGAWM cast mates in attendance, attending this special ceremony would have been one for the books!

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen

We would have loved to gone to this Lake Cuomo, Italy wedding simply to witness John serenade his bride with “All of Me” during the reception. Instant tears.

Kelly Rowland & Tim Witherspoon

Kelly Rowland and now-husband Tim Witherspoon ran off to Costa Rica to tie the knot in a short, sweet ceremony. While only 30 people were in attendance, we would have loved to have been to one of the lucky guests toasting this union!
