YBF EXCLUSIVE: Inside NBA Baller Rashard Lewis' Resort Wedding!

Aug 17 | by Natasha

Well how about this chic-to-pretty-damn-casual blissful wedding?! NBA star Rashard Lewis--yeah, the same guy involved in the totally made up love triangle with LeBron James & Savannah--wed his fiancee' Giovanni Fortes last week at a resort in California. And TheYBF.com has the exclusive--and interesting--pics from the wedding & reception.

Louis Vuitton foolery and a beautiful setting this-a-way...

34-year-old Washington Wizards baller Rashard and Giovanni have been together 11 years (there's still hope ladies!) and have 2 uber cute kiddies, Gianna and Rashard Jr. They met while Giovanni was at college in Seattle (where she joined Zeta Phi Beta Sorority in 2001) and Rashard played for the Seattle Supersonics.

The couple wed with their kiddies in tow in front of 250 of their closest friends and fam on August 13th--all in the beautiful Terranea Resort setting in Rancho Palos Verdes.

The bride donned a gorgeous flowing ivory Vera Wang gown--with a sheer black embellished sash--while walking down the aisle to Alicia Keys' "Never Felt This Way." And for the black-and white themed nuptials, the couple's son performed his duties as ring bearer and their daughter rocked her flower girl position.

Precious!

The wedding party and guests noshed on luxe yummies like Wild mushroom ravioli, Roasted beet salad, Pan roasted striped bass, Chianti braised short ribs, and Mango croissant bread puffing and Caramel cheesecake creme brûlée for dessert.

And after the ceremony, things got extra relaxed. At least one half of the bridal party did. The groom changed into a white button down shirt and white shorts and red sneakers, while his groomsmen changed into red shorts and red Nikes. Meanwhile, the bride changed into yet another wedding gown--this one extra sparkly:

Alrighty...

Guess you gotta let the groom have something for himself...

And the couple cut their California oranges decorated cake--which had edible text written on it documenting their story together-- to kick off the party. Can't say they didn't add their own personal touches to their big day.

We've got tons more exclusive pics from the wedding in our photo gallery. CHECK IT.

CONGRATS TO THE COUPLE!

Bitch, please stfu and stfd

Bitch, please stfu and stfd somewhere, in the real non-perfect world, shit happens and they ended up with 2 kids before they were married...So what you saying even thought they had 2 kids they shouldn't have let them participate in the wedding because hey "technically they were suppose to come afterwards"...Bitch get a clue. What kind of parents would they be if they didn't allow their children to be apart of the wedding....That would be taking FAKE above and beyond ridiculous...Those kids are here, there is no hiding that. FYI, even some of the classiest and richest ppl have children before marriage so stop labeling everything as "GHETTO" expand ur damn vocabulary...

First let me say congrats to

First let me say congrats to the couple because that is what this post is about. Now............. Mr. LetsGetit, why are you here on this site (JUST a question…… no need to curse me out) 99.9% of the women on here are African American women that you are either reading about or the ones commenting on this site. If you hate us so much find a site where the people in it are not the same color as yourself. I find it funny how you’re so quick to put down black women down and say we are trying so hard to be like white women. What about all the white women (among other races) who are trying to be more like us black women? They want a tan; they want fuller lips, they walk around with butt pads. I am sorry that you do not understand Black Women and why WE HAVE TO BE SO STRONG. I wouldn’t change the fact that I am a BLACK WOMAN for all the money in the world. I could write a thousand and one things wrong with our black men but you would only defend their actions. Love who you want to love……. Just don’t put your people down because you chose not to stay within your race. We all have the right to choose! Side note...... We are our own worst enemies, no need for any other race to hate, belittle or look down on us; we are doing a fine job of that on our own. We as a people have to learn to respect one another.

THEN TELL YOUR BROTHERS TO

THEN TELL YOUR BROTHERS TO STEP UP AND RAISE THEIR SONS TO BE MEN DONT LEAVE IT TO BLACK WOMEN TO DO BECAUSE EVEN THE BEST OF THEM CANT DO IT. I AGREE IN PART THAT BLACK WOMEN DO PASS BY THE EDUCATED BROTHERS FOR THE THUGS AND IT AS A WOMAN HAS ALWAYS BOTHERED ME. IF YOUR GOING TO DATE A THUG THEN DONT COMPLAIN WHEN ALL YOU BECOME IS A BABY MOMMA ON WELFARE. A LOT OF WOMEN THINK THEY CAN CHANGE A MAN INTO WHAT THEY WANT. THEY WANT A THUG THAT WANTS AND LOVES THEM ALONE. SORRY SISTAH IT JUST DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY. BUT BROTHERS ALSO HAVE TO LEARN TO TURN TO THEIR SISTERS AND NOT ON THEM. THE BLACK FAMILY IS STILL A STRONG ENTITY AND EVERY STRONG BLACK MAN WHO HAS A STRONG BLACK WOMAN BY HIS SIDE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH. LOOK AT HOW OSSIE DAVIS AND RUBY DEE WHERE, MALCOLM AND BETTY , MARTIN AND CORETTA. THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN BOTH SEXES WOMEN DONT SUPPORT THEIR MEN ANYMORE AND MEN DONT HAVE THE SENSE OF PRIDE AND THE STRENGTH THEY USE TO, YOU SAID THAT IN SLAVERY IT WAS WOMEN WHO TOLD THEIR SONS TO FEAR THE WHITE MAN AND LOOK DOWN AT THEIR FEET WELL YOU TELL ME WHAT YOU WOULD DO AS A MOTHER IF YOUR HUSBAND WAS KILLED IN YOUR FACE OR SOLD AWAY AND ALL YOU HAVE LEFT IS THIS CHILD YOU KNOW YOUR HELPLESS TO PROTECT IM SURE MOTHERS INSTINCT WAS TO TELL HER CHILD TO DO WHATEVER HE NEEDED TO DO TO LIVE BUT IF YOU KNOW YOUR HISTORY YOU WOULD ALSO KNOW THAT WHEN THOSE SLAVES WERE ALONE THOSE WOMEN CAME UP WITH AMAZING PLANS TO INSTILL STRENGTH AND PRIDE IN THEIR SONS IN THE ABSENCE OF THEIR MEN DONT FORGET THAT ALL THE BLACK MEN THAT ESCAPED TO FREEDOM DID SO LARGLY IN PART WITH THE HELP AND INSTINCTS OF THEIR WOMEN. THROUGHOUT HISTORY IT HAS BEEN THE BLACK WOMEN WHO SUFFERED THE MOST YET COMPLAINS THE LEAST , YOU TALK ABOUT THE BLACK MAN HOW HARD HE HAS IT BUT WE HAD TWO STRIKES BEING BLACK AND BEING A WOMAN , THE BIGOTRY YOU FACED ENEDED WHEN YOU CAME HOME OURS DIDNT WE HAD TO FACE HATE FROM WHITES AND SEXISM FROM OUR MEN TWO BATTLES AT ONCE TWO WE STILL FIGHT TODAY, NO ONE IS BETER THAN THE OTHER AND WE BOTH NEED EACH OTHER.

"IF YOUR GOING TO DATE A THUG

"IF YOUR GOING TO DATE A THUG THEN DONT COMPLAIN WHEN ALL YOU BECOME IS A BABY MOMMA ON WELFARE." Exactly!!That's all im saying stop getting mad at sucessful brothers when they date outside when you pass them up every damn day for a old fool ass nigga!!!!!!That's all im saying, most black women i know including in my family mess with comedian or thug ass niggas, they'll go with a educated , strong minded brother every now and then but they never stay with them, they never even have kids by the brotha. But they open they legs and have kids by the silliest niggaaassssssss!!! Then when she in her mid 30's with 5 kids and shit, and she see the educated brotha she pass by with a white or latina woman she mad as shittttttt!!!!Black women create thugs and this trendy degenerate shit in the community "THE BLACK FAMILY IS STILL A STRONG ENTITY AND EVERY STRONG BLACK MAN WHO HAS A STRONG BLACK WOMAN BY HIS SIDE IS A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH." I agree and disagree with this, look i dont romanticize and sugarcoat anything, the black family as a collect is not strong, goddamnit its not even a family cuss the man isnt thereeeeeeeeeee the woman couldnt even choose a real man with some morals and responsibility. Alot of pro black niggas like to be on that silly fantacy shit as if we gone someday get it together and BE POWERFUL AND LOVE EACH OTHER. the shit is unrealistic !!it aint happening in the black community only way i see shit changing is if the white man start back whooping our ass so we have NO CHOICE BUT TO BE WITH OTHER ANOTHER AND DEPEND ON EACH OTHER, or It might have to take a God to wipe us out and startt this shit overrrrrrrrrrr sorry but that what its going to take for black people as a collective to change!!
