Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

Remember in the early 2000s when R&B group Next had every Black man looking for his “wifey”? We do, and that’s why it was such a treat to learn that the group’s lead singer Robert “RL” Lavelle Huggar found his real life dream woman and they just got married. The sweet couple recently tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Atlanta!

The newlyweds, who are expecting a baby soon, jumped the broom in a rustic country-style affair complete with a barn reception that included a custom rotating flower wall and modern chic farm tables.
The blushing bride shared her excitement on Instagram:

“Words will never be able to express this feeling. I married the man of my dreams. I am so happy and overjoyed! God has truly blessed us. We look forward to a lifetime of happiness. And then there were 3…We are counting down the months to meet our babygiRL #RoryLane coming January 2017 #HelloHuggars #Huggar16 #MeetTheHuggars • picture by @madeinindya | thank you @darrelleryxhall soooo much for blessing this union “

RL and his long time girlfriend Lena Danielle were married at the Victoria Belle mansion with a star-studded guest list.

Two of Lena’s bridesmaids are very familiar faces from the reality show scene – Toya Wright and Monyetta Shaw. The bridesmaids performed a cute skit for the bride and groom during the reception.
