After a five-year long engagement, former MTV VJ La La Vazquez and her Denver Nuggets fiancé Carmelo Anthony tied the knot at New York's upscale Cipriani with their 3 year-old son, Kiyan, walking them down the aisle.
Vazquez decided to document their wedding in a new VH1 reality series 'La La's Full Court Wedding,' which follows the couple through hammering out the details of their nuptials with celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss, raising their son, and getting advice from their superstar friends and family.
"You have the fun aspect of my friends giving me advice and throwing me a bachelorette party. You see celebrities everybody from Ludacris, Kim Kardashian, Ciara, Kelly Rowland and Tyrese really joining me before I get married."
The 31 year-old television personality, born Alani Vazquez, believes she and Anthony don't get enough credit for staying together for so long.
"I think that we were never get praised for having a seven year [long] relationship in the climate of the world right now when you see so many people breaking up," she said. "We've seen more of our friends divorced and remarried in the time that we've been engaged and now married."
In the first episode of 'Full Court Wedding,' we see the Brooklyn native wedding dress shopping with her mother, Carmen, taking her son to the park, sampling wedding cake and discussing details with Weiss and Anthony about the wedding guest list and having a heart-to-heart with R&B singer Tyrese.
Tyrese probes, "Why aren't you hanging out with married women? You can't hang out with a bunch of single people they are not in the same space that you are in."

She reluctantly agrees. After all, most of today's popular blogs show her hanging out with Kim Kardashian, Ciara and her other A-list buddies at Hollywood hotspots. But, Vazquez is hoping that in the upcoming five-episode series her fans will see a different side of her.
"I think the show is important because it shows balancing a mom and a career and being with someone who travels all the time and who is busy all the time it gives people a real look at who I am and more than just dinner at Katsuya with a bunch of my friends," she said.
"We did do it in our own time and our own pace and that's captured on the show. People thought that there was this behind the scenes thing happening and a lot of that is addressed on the show [but] it was just us really moving at our own pace."
Later this year, Vazquez, who produced the critically-acclaimed documentary, 'Tyson,' will star in 'The Gun' opposite Val Kilmer and 50 Cent. She's currently producing a film with Brett Ratner and is producing a few reality shows with Russell Simmons, which she says she won't star in or host.
She is still undecided if she's up for starring in another reality show or whether she wants to fully pursue acting, but you can catch her on 'Full Court Wedding,' which premieres Sept. 19 at 10:30 pm EST on VH1

A relationship is personal and a marriage is sacred. Why does it matter if external people "give you credit" for staying together. If you love each other, you should not need validation from other people. It should only matter to the two people involved. This level of thinking is so shallow and superficial. If I am with my man for a few years and we get married, it would feel normal to me because I know he loves me. I would not "give him credit" for staying with me and vice versa. Reality shows are really tacky and shows how society no longer values discretion or having a private life. At the end of the day, who cares to see your wedding and all the details aside from the people that know you personally and care about you. Reality TV is a revenue stream of income when not much else is going on. Some of these people were not even known and all of a sudden have "star status". Seems like everyone is celebrity hungry today. Real corny and fake.

I totally agree ltavers.. I love my man more and more each day because he has stuck with me thru the thick and thin and loved me regardless of my faults. But she is someone who is obviously looking for self gratification based on their celebrity. The only famous One I know and who gets gratifies in my book is Jesus...

IMASSIVELY AGREE WITH YOU ALL!!!!! Who needs validation for how long your relationship has lasted but that goes to show you her arrogance and airheadedness. Wasnt getting all the well wishes for locking down a man that looks miserable everytime he smiles now enough acknowledgement?....
