Always a Daddy’s Girl

Royce shares his personal assessment of Katina and her father, Mr. Lee: “The bond between a father and daughter is like no other. Mr. Lee adores his daughter. His eyes sparkle every time he sees her. They are so close and I know how Katina feels about her dad. She is the princess of her family!”

Everybody In

The happy newlyweds rack up some camera time with their lovely bridal party. Although Royce had eight groomsmen, Katina insisted that she keep her original six bridesmaids.

“I refused to put extra girls in my wedding just to have balance,” reveals Katina who choose her favorite color pink for the bridesmaid dresses.

“When I first told Katina the number of guys I wanted in the wedding, she said, ‘Oh no, that’s too many!’ But once she realized how much these guys mean to me, she quickly agreed. I am very close with all of my boys and they all adore Katina,” says Royce, posing with his groomsmen and a fierce ride on his wedding day.

Love of My Life

“I knew early on that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Katina. Besides her being fun, outgoing, kind and beautiful, we have so much in common: from us both being lefties, to us both being Aries. Not to mention we both enjoy shows like “Family Guy,” “Two and a Half Men” and “Seinfeld.” Plus, she is a huge sports fan, which is every man’s dream," reveals Royce.

Ying to My Yang

“Royce and I clicked immediately. We became best friends right away. He is not the type of man that will allow me to run all over him, and I need that. God couldn’t have given me a better father for my child,” says Katina.

Three Times the Love

“What really sealed the deal in my relationship with Katina is her love for family. We are both very close to our families and once I met hers and saw the bond that she shares with her parents and brother, I knew that she had to become my wife and the mother of my children,” shares Royce.
