Who: rap singer Juvenile and Shadonna Jones

When: September 4, 2004

Where: The Victory Fellowship Church in Metairie, Louisiana

The Ceremony: Last minute touches made the bride fashionably late (2 1/2 hours late, to be exact) to the chapel in order to wed Louisiana-born rapper Juvenile, known to family as Terius Grey. To quell the hunger pangs of hundreds of guests impatient for the start of what was to be a 6 pm ceremony, fast food from a restaurant in the area was ordered. The wait paid off in the end, however, as the congregation was treated to a performance during the nuptials by soul singer Brian McKnight.

The Dress: A white, body-hugging silk gown with delicate spaghetti straps by New York-based designer Demitrios was accented by a diaphanous, elbow-length veil attached to the bride's hair, which was arranged in a chignon. The sparkle of diamonds in Shadonna's necklace and tiara competed with the dazzling ice which studded the groom's walking stick, designed by Jacob The Jeweler. The singer eschewed a traditional tuxedo, opting instead for a gold suit offset with a pink rose boutonniere. A chapeau the same hue as the rapper's suit was donned at the reception to add flair to the ensemble.

The Reception:  Guests dined on fillet mignon and chocolate fondue at The Pontchartrain Center, which was awash in a sea of blossoms and decorated with intricately carved ice sculptures. During the festivities, the entertainer informed his new wife of their future home, which will be constructed on twenty-five scenic acres on the outskirts of LaPlace, Louisiana.
