Triple B wishes sincere congratulations to veteran actress Tichina Arnold (who many of you affectionately still refer to as Pam from her Martin days) on her recent nuptials! Who did she marry? St. John’s University assistant basketball coach Rico Hines. Tichina, 43, was happily wed at Honolulu’s Oasis Oceanfront Estate, with reportedly 70 guests in attendance. D-Nice flew in for one day to deejay the event and celebrity wedding planner Diann Valentine orchestrated the intimate wedding weekend. Her loving bridal party included Sidra Smith — twin sister of actress Tasha Smith.
The Happily Divorced screentress chose to say I Do in a beautiful beachfront ceremony. The Oasis Oceanfront Estate in Honolulu is certainly not shabby either. The property was once home to John Travolta. A few standout features of this estate include private beach access, a mosaic tiled pool and Koa floors throughout the two-levels. This is Tichina’s second marriage; she also has an 8 year-old daughter named Alijah Kai. Loving that Tichina is repping for the brides who are 40+. Sidebar, she’s also a fellow Queens, New York native so she gets cool points on GP…
Join Triple B is wishing Tichina and Rico a long and happy marriage!
We must also send heartfelt CONGRATS to Philadelphia 76ers forward Thaddeus Young who wed his longtime sweetheart, Shekinah Beckett this weekend as well. Lots of Black Bridal Bliss in the air!

Congrats Carla! Yeah, I’m happy that “Pam” got married as well. :-)
I was watching Martin last night + thought about how pretty Tichina Arnold is and wondered if she was with someone. Bridgette, thanks for the inside scoop on the wedding party because I surely thought Tasha Smith cut her hair!
Awww, Love & Basketball! LOL, I could not resist. Tichina and Rico look great together and happy; love at any age is what’s up, yup! “Pam” is a girl after my own heart because I will not be wearing a white bridal gown, nerp! #rebel
@Carla – Congratulations on your upcoming wedding day! Wishing you many, many years of wedded bliss!
@Gingi – You were not the only one! Hahaha. I was like “Lawd, Tasha done gone all the way natural!” All loud and wrong! Tasha and her sister are hard to tell apart…same dimples and all.
@Carla – I just know your wedding is going to be awesome! Don’t forget Triple B needs the Tie the Knot Tuesday EXCLUSIVE.
@Gingi – It is my pleasure to bring you the scoop! Glad you enjoyed the post.
@Kendall – Ha…Love & Basketball indeed. And I too think it is fab that Tichina didn’t wear a white gown. Love to see brides “do them”…
I love her bridesmaid outfit
Love the bridal gown color! Reminds me of the rich satin cafe look Laila Ali had at her wedding.
