Lots of congratulations for LeToya Luckett and Taleo Coles, who nearly married in a lavish ceremony!
VMrs. Coles wore a thin-strap white lace gown with a high-leg slit and low-V neck cut. She accessorized the sultry look with diamonds on her neck and ears. Pictures shared exclusively by Essence show that the vocalist had 12 bridesmaids dressed in light brown gowns of various designs.
Meanwhile, Mr. Coles popped out in a black tuxedo with an adornment on his suit jacket. He completed the look with a black bowtie and a fresh lineup. One of his wrists was iced out with diamond bracelets.
The event space was decked out with hundreds of white flowers, including her bridal bouquet. LeToya says their marriage was a collaborative effort, crediting her man with finding the venue, Teesrae in Houston.
They said their “I dos” in front of 200 guests, including Ms. Tina Knowles, Toya Wright-Rushing, Tammy Franklin, LaTavia Roberson, Bun B., and Pastor Devon Franklin, Meagan Good’s former-spouse, who officiated the ceremony.
As per Essence, LeToya and Taleo have shared a mutual friend for 20 years but never explored their relationship beyond that. In September 2022, after some prayers to God about finding a “whole” heart, she learned Taleo was single. They connected through phone, and eventually, Taleo put her at ease about introducing someone new to her kids, citing his own experience with having a stepdad.
“My stepfather played a pivotal character in my life, providing the guidance and support I needed,” Taleo said.
For context, the R&B singer was previously engaged to Texas businessman Tommicus Walker in 2017. They later tied knot and spent recently 4 years together before divorcing in 2021. During their union, they welcomed 2 children.
