When yuh big, yuh large!

The NYT write-up was really cute with Ross talking about his excitement when he finally got to talk to Sanya, after eyeing her for a while.

Jamaican-American track diva Sanya Richards is making the final preparations for her big day this Friday - which is both her 25th birthday and wedding day to New York Giants cornerback Aaron Ross.

On Friday just gone, Sanya tweeted this pic from Bridal Reflections on New York City's exclusive Fifth Avenue, where she was getting her final dress fitting.

She also tweeted another pic from her bachelorette weekend, specifically her spa day with the girls - nice!

The whole thing is being taped by WeTv's Platinum Weddings and indeed the nuptials for the Olympic gold medallist and World 400m Champion seem set to be platinum!

According to the New York Post, the wedding ceremony is going to be followed up by a dinner for 300 and then an after-party for 700!

Some of the guests include NY Giants past and present like Eli Manning and Michael Strahan, basketballer Dikembe Mutumbo and rappers Cam'Ron and The Game.

We here at Islandista wish the Jamaican golden girl all the best on her big day - enjoy!

Tami Chyn & Wayne Marshall tie the knot

Dancehall couple Tami Chyn and Wayne Marshall got married at the Mona Lodge at UWI in Jamaica last weekend.

The two sing-jays were dress to puss backfoot (yu neva know islandista can chat patwa so eenh? ;) for the special occasion.

Tami bucked the white flouffy dress trend with a gorgeous gold coloured silk gown (the Jamaica observer called it 'metallic butter' boh) by family friend and  designer Dene Chung, which had a burst of gold and peacock organza on the  strap.

Wayne was dapper in a suit by one of Jamaica's leading menswear designers, Carlton Brown.

Even the bridesmaids had lovely dresses (which can be so rare for bridesmaids). They had some hot magenta coloured dresses (which perfectly matched Tessanne's hair actually) with slight variations on the design - Terrie's had a halter neck strap while Tessanne's was strapless.



Of course, there was singing - Wayne got singer Suzanne Couch to serenade his bride with Lifeline, while Tami's sisters Tessanne Chin and Terrie Williamson sang Songbird by Ava Cassidy, as their toast to the couple.

Congrats from Islandista to the happy couple!

Rihanna and Chris Brown married?!

Clearly Rihanna and Chris Brown are determined to take this soap opera from bad to worst.

No, that wasn't a typo cos they done skipped  through worse and went straight to the WORST thing they could have done - bonafide Bobby and Whitney mess.

Yes, they're married.

The reports are now starting to leak out in the press, with Star magazine leading with it on their cover, blaring 'Secret Wedding!'

We hoped against hope it wasn't true but our usually reliable sources in Barbados are saying it is unfortunately oh so true and their state broadcaster, CBC just carried it a short while ago during their evening news broadcast.

Apparently the love-struck (excuse the gruesome pun) duo married impetuously last weekend during their reconciliation at Diddy's villa in Miami. According to the Star Chris "literally fell to his knees,"
