LL Cool J’s Daughter Is Getting Married And Her Bride Tribe Is Everything

By Brittney Oliver · Updated October 26, 2020

LL Cool J’s daughter Italia Smith is just days away from becoming a wife, but before she makes her way down the aisle, her bride tribe made sure to send her off right.

Italia’s bachelorette weekend was one for the books, as she and her fabulous friends brought the heat to Miami. Her bridal squad also included her sister Samaria, who will be the maid of honor at the June wedding.

“26 days till my sister is a Wifey beyond excited for this new chapter of your life. Thank you for showing me what a relationship is supposed to be and how God must be in it. & making me your maid of honor and allowing me to be apart of designing your gown with @karensabagofficial for your special day. I love you. #TLC2017,” she shared.

The late music executive Chris Lighty’s daughter Tiffany Lighty planned the girls trip for her bestie.  The bridesmaids group got in formation with matching swim suits and yacht rides around Star Island.

The squad enjoyed a pole dancing class and also turned up for a night or two in South Beach with a dinner at the C’est Rouge! cabaret show. Later, they popped bottles at Liv.
