Ex Los Angeles Laker Shaquille O’Neal got married to Shaunie Nelson in December 2002. Let’s find out how this famous NBA superstar celebrated his wedding. I’m guessing the ceremony is as big as his body
Shaq and Shaunie got married in December 26, 2002 at The Beverly Hills Hotel’s Crystal Garden
The Wedding Ceremony
Shaquille O’Neal appointed event planner Mindy Weiss, concocted an enchanted setting filled with a multitude of lavender roses for the king of basketball to wed his queen, who was carrying their third child. In the wedding vow, creative Shaq altered the vows to read “for richer or for richer”.
The Wedding Dress and Outfit
Shaunie was swathed by designer Michelle Roth in a platinum, full-skirted gown of duchesse satin and tulle, which was generously dusted with Swarovski crystals. The regal style continued with a diamond tiara, to which a long veil was attached.
Phenomenal Designs by Lamar created Shaq’s ensemble, which consisted of a black, three-quarter length jacket and white shirt with a diamond stud accent.
The Wedding Reception
The theme Purple is the color of royalty, and it was chosen as the dominant hue for the reception, which was held in the Crystal Ballroom of the Beverly Hills Hotel. Chairs, tables and walls were draped in varying shades of fabric ranging from lilac to deep purple, and bouquets of roses in the same color scheme were held aloft by candleabra centerpieces. Celebrity guests, which included actresses Vanessa Williams, Viviva A. Fox, and members of the Los Angeles Lakers enjoyed a four-tiered wedding cake created by Rosebud Cakes in Beverly Hills, which was fashioned into the form of cushions and decorated with a tiara cake-topper.
To spice things up, Shaq and his new bride offered silver-framed photos taken of each guest at the event. Guests were also sent on their way with a peach pie from Mommie Helen’s bakery.
