La-La Vasquez, former MTV DJ and Kim K's bestie is finally tying the knot with her long-time fiancee Carmelo Anthony. After seven years together, a five year engagement and a baby, many have wondered what has taken them so long but they are now finally going to make it official- on their own terms. More after the jump...
The planning begins with wedding planner to the stars Mindy Weiss. They're having a huge wedding with lots of celebrity guests and the more financial resources that you have to plan a wedding the more problems you can have. In the immortal words of Biggie Smalls, "more money, more problems".
La-La's mother comes to town to share this important time with her daughter and also go dress shopping. Although La-La already has a custom made Vera Wang gown ready to go she continues to try on more dresses just to share the experience with her mother. This is going to end in disaster because if you already have a dress why would you risk trying on more dresses and possibly liking another dress more then the one you've already purchased? Of course, she ends up falling in love with a pink gown and this is the beginning of the first of many wedding emergency's that she's bound to run into.
When talking with her mom about the pending nuptials La-La shares that she's concerned because she and Carmelo have been doing so well as a unmarried couple for this long why change things. But she also knows that she and Carmelo have built a great foundation and now is their time.
Later she has lunch with one of her best friends, Tyrese Gibson. Over lunch the conversation turns serious and Tyrese asks La-La if she's ready to be a wife and why is she not hanging out with more married women to learn from example. He brings up a good point but if most of your closest girlfriends are single then what are you supposed to do? And speaking of advice - what does Tyrese know about being married? But that's one of her best buds and he's entitled to his opinion. You know what they say about opinions...
La-La decides that she wants to have the "who's walking me down the isle" conversation with her mom. Her parents were divorced when she was young but she has a good relationship with her Dad. Her mom has been the primary parent for years and feels like La-La's dad now wants to get the glory and privilege of walking their daughter down the aisle despite the fact that he hasn't put in the same amount of parenting that she has. La-La loves her dad and wants him to walk her down the aisle but she doesn't want to hurt her mother's feelings.
So many decisions before the big day. What's a girl to do?
