The 46 year old MC- who still gets the parties jumpin’ as soon as her lyrics, “You can cha-cha-cha ’til it’s Mardi Gras” come on- jumped the broom with businessman and Marine Corp Veteran, John Wyche, this recent weekend in Montego Bay, Jamaica.
As we earlier reported, Jada Pinkett-Smith and Toni Braxton- two of Lyte’s close friends- attended her bridal shower a few days ago and now, her marriage was just as star studded. The talented Kelly Price serenaded the newlyweds, while So So Def founder, Jermaine Dupri DJ’d the event and kept the crowd hype at the reception.
In images shared by Essence, Lyte and John were cheesin’ it up from ear to ear, as she stood in her marriage outfit which was a beautiful gown and John in his fly tux,’ outside at their Jamaican wedding site.
“It was so beautiful and a fairytale,” says Lyte. “I got my king.” […] “It’s incredible so many people came out to support our union. We are starting out with a strong foundation,” Wyche says. “A few months into getting to know Lana I knew I desired this woman as my wife.”
And his wife felt the same. “One day when we’re talking and I looked into his eyes. It was so much honesty and truth in his eyes,” Lyte says. “My biggest stuff with dating was to be vulnerable. And with him, I could totally let go and be myself.”
I’ve gotta be honest with y’all and mention that I’m still getting adjusted to Lyte being married. Hell, I’m still trying to let it sink in that she was actually engaged or in a connection at all for that matter. Don’t get me wrong, Lyte is a incredibly attractive and intelligent woman.
It’s just that after decades of never seeing her in a public connection with anyone, then all of a sudden seeing her ‘lost in love’ like New Edition, takes a little getting used to for a longtime Lyte fan, like myself.
