Ray J weds Princess Love

Written by . Published: August 13 2016

R&B star-turned-TV personality Ray J has wed his fiancee Princess Love.

The One Wish singer, who infamously co-starred in Kim Kardashian's Kim K Superstar sex tape, exchanged vows on Friday (12Aug16) in Los Angeles, a rep for the singer confirmed to People.com.



The couple wed in front of 150 of their closest family and friends, including Ray J's sister Brandy, who served as a bridesmaid for Love. The Grammy-award winning singer also sang Etta James' At Last during the pair's first dance as newlyweds.


"I just want her to have the time of her life and remember it as the best day in the world," the 35-year-old J told People.com ahead of the nuptials. "Even when I wasn't with her, I told my friends 'She the one, she the one.' It was just something about how I felt when she was around me."


Love, who wore a beaded Lazaro ball-gown for the ceremony, gushed about her groom, "He's the only person I've ever been with that I couldn't see myself without."


Rapper The Game was one of Ray J's nine groomsmen, and the bridal party walked down the aisle as R&B singer Anthony Hamilton sang his hit The Point of It All.


"It was never a dull moment in planning and designing Princess and Ray J’s dream wedding," the couple's wedding planners Darryl Wilson and Diann Valentine said. "They wanted a royal, elegant and enchanting reception fit for a princess and prince."


The wedding, which was a black tie affair, was filmed for their reality show, Love & Hip Hop: Hollywood, which will premiere on Monday (15Aug16).


Ray J proposed to the 31-year-old with an 8-carat halo diamond in December last year (15), just months after she was reportedly charged with domestic abuse and battery.


Love allegedly beat up Ray J in February, 2015, leaving him with cracked ribs, a split lip, and a torn ligament in his knee. However, all was quickly forgiven and the singer bailed his lover out of jail and covered her legal fees.


Despite singing at her brother's wedding, and being bridesmaid for her sister-in-law, Brandy revealed she was initially angry after finding out about the couple's engagement on television.


"I think they've been engaged for a while and they saved it for the reveal of the show that they're on together... but I was really irritated with him," The Boy Is Mine hitmaker told news show Access Hollywood Live in December (15). "I went, 'Dude, I'm your sister, why didn't you tell me you were engaged? I'm talking about it everywhere, people are asking me and I don't know anything about it.'


"I called him and said, 'Ray, I'm going on a talk show tomorrow, I need to know what's up. Are you really engaged, because I don't wanna look stupid'. So he told me."


"Ray's a very private guy," she adds. "He doesn't tell me everything. All I know is they're in love and they're going strong."
