Keasha (RIP) & Chris Draft on their wedding day, Nov. 27, 2011
I read this heartbreaking story on The YBF earlier today and had to share. Former NFL linebacker Chris wed his love Keasha, who was battling lung cancer, in a beautiful ceremony on November 27, 2011. On Tuesday — just one month after they tied the knot — Keasha lost her battle with cancer. The couple’s touching wedding trailer is below. It is unfortunate that stories about stand-up men like Chris are overshadowed by trash reality television and other nonsense.
Happy Monday! One of our favorite newlyweds, actress Niecy Nash just landed her own reality show. She and her new hubby Jay Tucker will share an inside look at their lives as a new married couple with the world beginning in early 2012 on TLC. You should recall her fab bridal shower exclusive here on Triple B leading up to her actual nuptials which were taped for TLC. [click to continue…]
On this day 19 years ago, the 44th President of the United States of America wed his wife, Michelle Robinson. Years later they’re making history in and out of the White House. The pair celebrated their union with dinner at the vegan-friendly Restaurant Eve in Alexandria, VA last night. Congrats and many blessings to the couple!
Please join Triple B in wishing the Obamas a happy wedding anniversary and share how the couple’s relationship has inspired you.
Got the Monday blues? Just watch this. I guarantee it will make you feel better. Courtesy of the good folks over at Black and Married with Kids. Enjoy!
You may not have even said “I Do” yet, but chances are you’re already thinking of creative uses for that wedding gown post-reception besides paying for it to sit in storage. You can always go green and repurpose it like my friend Mo did, or you can wear it again for a fab photo shoot. (And of course you could do both depending on timing.) The talented Kesha Lambert posted pics of Philly newlyweds Tuere and Royce on Facebook recently and I couldn’t stop smiling at them! See why:

Happy Monday, y’all! I’m tapping into my friends over at BlackandMarriedwithKids.com for today’s post. They recently featured a piece by founders Ronnie and Lamar on helpful books for married couples. Check it out:
I’ve always felt the following went without saying but here goes: The only people who truly know what’s going on in a marriage are the two in it. Period. Still, I get sheer joy from featuring those (seemingly) happy marriages of Black women who are rarely portrayed on the big and small screen, on the radio, in magazines and on the Web. As you’ve noticed with previous Marriage Matters couples, I purposely highlight folks that are “young” yet have been married a decade or longer because they’ve passed the honeymoon stage of wedded bliss but can still relate to you nearlyweds and newlyweds.

Newlyweds Tewanna and Marshall have incorporated one of their wedding gifts into a sweet couple's ritual.
First and foremost, my apologies for the MIA Tie the Knot Tuesday feature yesterday. Trust me, I’m twenty times more bummed about it than you. Don’t fret, it will return next week.

And those of you who aren’t but always get daunted by bridal registries and have a heap of weddings to attend this summer — this post is for you, too! I polled my Tie the Knot Tuesday alum for the inside scoop on what gifts they actually use most since saying “I Do”.All of the responses are honest and many will surprise you.
