Rapper The Game cancels wedding

Gist reaching me is that the Game has cancelled his wedding which is supposed to hold 10 days from now.

The Game and former fiance/baby mama Tiffany Cambridge

We earlier reported that he had bagged a reality show which will chronicle his decision to get married, planning the wedding up till the wedding itself. See it http://cakesbymizvuitton.blogspot.com/2012/07/quote-of-day-rapper-game-proposes-to.html

Just days after announcing that he and Tiffany were going to be on the show he announced that he has called off the engagement.

Their wedding save-the-date website was updated yesterday "We regret to inform you that the wedding of Tiffney Cambridge and Jayceon Taylor has been cancelled"

The Game already reportedly dropped half a million dollars on the wedding and the decision to call off the wedding was because they "just didn't get along"

After the news broke out The Game tweeted

When LIFE throws you lemons.... Squeeze em' and mix em with Patron".
 Smh

 Time is the only thing you can't get back. Use it wisely & understand that once a decision is made there is NO reversing that moment.

Really wonder what the hell went wrong. Well better to forgo half a million dollars than being married for 72 days lol.

I respect his decision to walk away and not string her along. Nothing is worse than marrying out of pity.

Meagan Goode finally Jumps the broom


This was a wedding packed weekend- Bella Naija's Uche Eze got hitched to her long time love Bode Pedro (Congrats Bella Naija) and Meagan Goode tied the knot with Seventh day Adventist Pastor and Sony exec Devon Franklin.

Meagan got hitched to her preacher man beau Devon Franklin in an antique, purple and gold themed wedding outside of Los Angeles. The couple met each other last year while filming ‘Jumping The Broom’.

Meagan walked down the aisle to ‘These Arms’ performed by the Craig Lewis Band while dressed in a custom R-Mine gown with a purple dipped train. At first, she had a hard time convincing designers to dip the train, however she was dead set on dipping it in purple. Of her dress Meagan said, ‘I didn’t want girly, I wanted handsome. It’s got a bit of a masculine feel to it. I wanted something that felt a tad bit rebellious and out of the ordinary. That felt closer to my personality.”

The happy bride also wore jewels by Beverly Hills' Jason the jeweller .

Megan Goode and Fiance Devon Franklin are keeping the marriage bed undefiled

Actress Megan Goode with fiance Devon Franklin

Actress Megan Goode recently revealed to Life & Style Magazine that her wedding night will be the first time she will be intimate with her fiance Devon Franklin. She said

“Our wedding night will be the first time we’re actually together,”

When asked how she knew Devon Franklin was the man she was meant to marry, she responded:

 “Because he was willing to be celibate with me for a year. He loves God, more than I love God, I don’t think there’s anything wrong [with him].”

Earlier this year she told Global Grind:

'I was crying about so much at the time that God told me exactly what it was going to be and he told me that the next relationship that I got into was going to be “the” relationship. God told me specifically what the criteria was with the man I was going to marry and he told me to not settle. So I would meet guys who are Christians or loved the Lord, but they weren’t trying with all their heart to walk with him. And I wouldn’t feel in myself that that was the guy, so even if I liked him or was attracted to him I would say, OK I’m not going to settle.” 

Then shortly after that I became celibate. I said, ‘Alright Lord, let’s see what you have for me. Oddly enough, Devon and I had known each other for six years and [Jumping The Broom] wrapped nine months before we even dated. During a couple of those months before, it started getting in my spirit that he was going to be my husband and he didn’t even know.”
I came and did this thing in his church where I talked about my testimony. I already told my godsister in the car on the way over there. Oh, he’s my husband I know that. And we didn’t start dating till three months after that.”

Now a young, rich, handsome successful man that loves you and also loves and fears the Lord... Who can resist that?

Way to go Megan!

Meanwhile for the record Devon Franklin is a Seventh Day Adventist Preacher and an executive with Sony Pictures.The couple reportedly met on the set of the motion picture "Jumping The Broom" where she was an actress and he was a producer on the set.

Funke Akindele becomes Mrs Funke Almaroof at Nikkai ceremony

Funke and hubby at nikkai ceremony

Funke gets married to Alhaji Kehinde Almaroof at a Nikkai ceremony yesterday. The traditional engagement will hold on May 26th 2012.

Funke Akindele - Why are beautiful young women settling?

Funke and her husband to be, Alhaji Kehinde Almaroof aka Kenny doo

A while back (last week or so) the media was awash with news of Funke Akindele's impending marriage to a businessman cum politician, Alhaji Kehinde Almaroof aka Kenny doo. It was alleged that the soon-to-be husband of Jenifa is married and has six kids from two different women. This report has been denied by her camp severally.


Kehinde claims that he was never married but had a live-in baby mama for many years. A picture has surfaced online of him and his alleged wife at their nikkai ceremony (Islamic wedding rites) to debunk this claim.

Kenny and his alleged wife at their Nikkai ceremony  

Funke Akindele as most of us know is a very popular A-list Nollywood actress. Smart, young and beautiful. She is the brain behind Jenifa, a high grossing Yoruba comedy film. She is a law grad from the University of Lagos and has so many achievements in her kitty. She is a foremost Nollywood face, a Globacom Ambassador, a screenwriter, a producer and a director. She enjoys support from her peers, the Lagos social scene and even the Lagos State Government. She has so many endorsement deals .


Long and short of it is that Funke is a young and successful woman. Gbam!


It's her personal life really!


But this brings me to the question: from Mercy Johnson to Funke Akindele to the regular chick from around the block... Why are we settling? How did marriages, even relationships move from being on our own terms to being on a man's terms. When do we get to that point that we lower our standards- a little at first, then a little more and then.... Is marriage really the be all and end all even if it means marrying just anyone... Are men really that scarce?, lol


Please share your thots.

I love hearing from you....

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is married

Mark Zuckerberg gets married to his long time girlfriend, Priscilla Chan
 at a surprise ceremony in his Calif. home

On Saturday, May 19 2012, Mark Zuckerberg married his long time girlfriend Priscilla Chan at a wedding ceremony that held in his backyard.

According to US Weekly the couple invited less than 100 friends and family members to celebrate Chan's graduation from  medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, a guest authorized to speak for the couple tells Us Weekly. What they didn't know, however, was that Facebook founder and CEO Zuckerberg, 28, and his Harvard sweetheart Chan, 27, would also be tying the knot at their Palo Alto, Calif. home.

The low-key ceremony occurred in their backyard. The couple -- who have been together nine years -- had been planning the ceremony for the past five months. Zuckerberg wore a suit and tie, and Chan wore a $4,700 embroidered Claire Pettibone dress featuring matte sequins and ivory cut-outs with a sheer back.

Zuckerberg designed a "simple ruby ring" for Chan himself; she did not see it until the wedding.
Guests ate family style from the couple's favorite local eateries, Palo Alto Sol and Fuki Sushi. For dessert, attendees ate burdick chocolate "mice," which the couple had on their first date.

It's been a banner week for the couple, as Chan graduated on Monday, the same day Zuckerberg turned 28. Four days later, Facebook went public; the move brought Zuckerberg's wealth to an astounding $19 billion.
