*A Little R&R (Regina Hall & Ralph LaClair). What man gets married in front of 300 guests and has no clue that there is going to be a wedding ceremony that includes him as the groom? Guess Who? Ralph LaClair that’s who!
Hey everybody, this is Bowlegged Lou from the group Full Force and what a beautiful and unique story I have to share. My dear friend, Regina Hall (not the actress ) who is also the president of my organization “HopeWithAVizion.Org,” decided to throw herself a big 50th birthday bash in Virginia Beach, Virginia at a fabulous venue called “Grand Affairs.” At the same time, she decided to surprise her fi’ance who had just proposed to her a week before her May 19, 2018 birthday bash.
You will never guess how she decided to surprise Ralph. Are you ready? Instead of waiting to get married next year in 2019, Regina decided to surprise and shock not only Ralph, but her guests as well by secretly orchestrating and arranging to marry him at her birthday party with over 300 guests in attendance. So, she decides when and where, right?? No need to wait for the groom’s input on the particulars (lol).
That’s right, Regina Hall (now Regina LaClair) aka Diana Boss took it upon herself to make the decision and not even consult with her fiance’ Ralph LaClair that she and he were getting married right then and there. Although Ralph, was unaware and not involved in the decision-making surrounding the ceremony, Regina knew her man and was confident that Ralph would not only be surprised and shocked, but would at the same time be ecstatic that his dream of marrying his true love would be fulfilled. Everyone knew that Ralph has wanted marry Regina since Jesus walked, right? Is that still crazy or what?
Ralph LaClair did not know what hit him as he saw Queens & Kings (think of bridesmaids and groomsmen in a traditional wedding ceremony) line up to march down the aisle in a grand celebratory entrance to the birthday celebration which is not uncommon for Regina to orchestrate when it comes to her birthday. She always has some kind of special entrance happening so Ralph had no clue that this was no ordinary grand entrance. It was amazing that Ralph did not know that it was a combination birthday and wedding celebration until Regina got on the microphone and said these words; “Ralph, we are not getting married next year 2019, but we are getting married right now today 2018. Ralph are you “READY” And as Ralph’s face showed a combination of shock and happy animation, I, the Master of Ceremonies for the evening, introduced Pastor Melvin Marinner who was one of the marching Kings. The pastor came forward and conducted the ceremony and the rest was and is blissful history as they both said their I-Do’s and became happily married man and wife all on Regina orders & say so.
R&B vocalists Tony Terry, made a surprise appearance on video and Noel Gourdin performed in person to congratulate the happy couple on their nuptials. The performances are captured in the attached videos below.
