Black Celeb Weddings We Wish We'd Been Invited To

From Beyoncé and Jay Z's 2008 matrimony moment to Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker's Coming to America themed "I-do's," here are some weddings we would have loved to attend.

By Lauren Porter · April 26, 2016October 27, 2020
01
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!

02
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!

April 4 – Beyoncé Marries JAY-Z
Beyoncé and JAY-Z have been together nearly 15 years and with the release of their recent albums and openness about their struggles, it seems their bond is stronger than ever. Becky who?

04
Meagan Good and Devon Franklin

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. 

05
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. 

06
Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz
Between the musical genius of these two, we know this wedding wasn’t short of festive!
Stephanie Pistel
07
La La and Carmelo Anthony
The couple’s wedding was a star-studded affair at the famous Cipriani’s in New York City in July 2010! We are sure all the fun times were had!
08
Trai Byers and Grace Gealey

These two Empire co-stars secretly tied the knot in a beach-side wedding on the Grand Cayman Island! We know the ceremony was certifiably beautiful and that the reception had to be too! 

09
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.

11
Tia Mowry and Cory Hardict

These two are just about the sweetest couple. Their wedding must have been full of so much love!

12
T.I. and Tiny Harris

These two are basically Atlanta hip-hop royalty so we know there wedding was fit for a King and a Queen. 

13
Jurnee Smollett and Josiah Bell

This Underground star and her musician husband fill our hearts with such joy! An invite to their wedding would have left us walking on cloud nine!

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!
