While wedding season begins around May and comes to an end in October, all year long, people have been tying the knot — including well-known Black women. From intimate backyard events to extravagant destination weddings, sistas have been saying “I do” left and right lately. Here are a few who happily jumped the broom this year.
Bresha Webb and Nick Jones Jr.
The Run the World actress and TV writer beau Nick became Mr. and Mrs. Jones in an “old Hollywood glam” themed wedding at The Beverly Hills Hotel on Feb. 4.
Pinky Cole and Derrick Hayes
Super entrepreneur couple Pinky Cole and Derrick Hayes (behind Slutty Vegan and Big Dave’s Cheesesteaks respectively), married at the St. Regis in Atlanta on June 10. We were guests at Cole and Haye’s wedding!
Gloria Carter and Roxanne Wiltshire
Jay-Z’s mother, Gloria Carter, married her love on July 2 in New York City. The event was a naturally star-studded one since her famous son, his wife Beyoncé and other big names attended to celebrate Carter and Wiltshire’s love.
KJ Smith and Skyh Black
The acting couple, known for Sistas (where they met when he had a role as a character on the show) and All the Queen’s Men on BET and BET+, tied the knot on Sept. 3 in Malibu. Many of their cast mates and BET’s biggest names, including showrunner Tyler Perry, were there to celebrate.
Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens
The legendary gymnast and her footballer beau tied the knot on April 22 in a courthouse wedding in Houston. A few weeks later, they said “I do” again, marrying in a destination wedding in Cabo, Mexico in front of friends and family.
Sofia Richie and Elliot Grainge
The couple, which includes Lionel Richie’s youngest daughter Sofia and music exec Elliot, took destination weddings to the next level when they wed in a celebration in Antibes, France (aka, the South of France) on April 22. The bride wore multiple gowns and enjoyed a traditional Hora dance after converting to Judaism before the wedding, which is what Grainge practices.
Robyn Dixon and Juan Dixon
The Real Housewives of Potomac star and her longtime love, basketball coach and former NBA player Juan Dixon, wed for a second time on Aug. 24. Cameras from the show were there to take in the moment. The pair were previously married in July 2005 but divorced in 2012 while still living together. Here’s hoping for wedded bliss the second time around.
