Apparently, people were talking about maybe they were married two months ago. Shannon had been seen out and about sporting a wedding band. An official with the NBA also confirmed the marriage, which took place in Los Angeles on November 22, 2010.
Two weeks ago, she had her name legally changed at te DMV to Brown. SO maybe she wasn't tryin' to keep it THAT secret.

So for all my real supporters who are happy for me. I thank u, I love u, & I’m realistic enough about life. To know my journey has begun.”

A cougar thing? I don't understand. She's older by how many years? And does it really matter? hahahahaha
I know right... ewww. I have no idea what I would have in common with a child so much my junior. Men are so damn simple minded usually. Imagine one almost a whole generation younger. lol OK That was mean. But I meant every word.

Hey, isn't that the blouse that Erica used to wear on Dynasty?
That TV show was on in the early '80s -- was he even alive?
-- I'm just sayin'....
errr ummm I think you mean Alexis from Dynasty. She sure loved the ruffled tops. lol

Ok, my bad -- apparently its "Alexis Carrington Colby".
Y'know, I used to get away with these mistakes before people started checking imdb.com!
Now I gotta try to be all "factual" & "truthy"! [img]javascript/editors/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-cry.gif[/img]
My thing to Ms. Monica is way to go!!!
Now a days, it's hard enough to find a good man that will put up with our craps. Yes, she may be a cougar, but I personally don't see anything wrong with that. If they love each other and understand each other and pray together at the end of the day, it's ok.
As to what could they possibly have in common, well, you never know, but Rosie, seriously though, age is nothing but a number. The heart chooses whom they love, don't they? Well, being with a younger man keeps you very young at heart, mind, soul and body. Now, I don't know if I would marry someone say 21 or even 30, but that's me. To me, he'll have to be at least 32. I like younger men. What can I say? If the man is over 30, has it together and mature enough to take me on, I say more power to him (hahahahahahaha).
On a different note, I would love to see her entire wedding dress before I comment. OBTW (Oh By The Way) Eloi, I loved Mrs Alexis Carrington Colby. She showed us that it was ok to be a very strong woman, to have a career and to do it harder than any man. I love her, love her!!!! hahahaha!!!
I HEAR you, Ginoue and I been rightly put in my place! Eloi fresh and outta place for besmirching Alexis Carrington. lol. Man I really loved Dynasty. Below she and her husband are posing for their first photo as man and wife with their minister. This is her actual wedding dress. I admit it is tasteful and lovely. Ilove her bold necklace choice. Very now and hip.[img]http://blogs.bet.com/lifestyle/headoverheels/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Monica.jpg[/img]
Here is the full length of the ruffle dress:

It is Alexander McQueen. I actually LOVE his work. I am sad that he is gone from this world. But, I don't care for it. Too much going on. She wore this gown in her video featuring future hubby as the love interest, "Love All Over Me."

I don't know Rosie. I kinda like it.
Alexander Mcqueen was a genius, so I will humbly accept your love of this drerss. I really like her actual wedding dress up to. It suits her more I think. She is glowing something beautiful in it too. Must be in love. :)

Hi Ginoue and Rosie! Thanks for posting the Monica pics. I've seen that top before (pictured with McQueen gown), and I do like it with some gowns. I'm not sure about this one. Maybe if there were less ruffles at the bottom.
According to wikipedia, "the couple are planning a second wedding ceremony and reception for family and friends to attend in June." That means that she'll be getting something real special for June to be sure!
Also, Monica was born Oct. 24, 1980. Shannon Brown was born November 29, 1985. That's only a five-year age difference and hardly qualifies Ms. Monica as a cougar. You must be thinking about somebody else, Rosie. Monica is in Brandy's age group. As a matter of fact, she's 1 year and 8 months younger than Brandy!
I just read up on her and she's had several engagements and rocky relationships that include being cheated on after having 2 children for her former fiance, Rodney Hill. She even had a boyfriend shoot himself in the head right in front of her when he was beseiged with grief at his brother's grave. This woman has been through a lot, to say the least, and she deserves every bit of happiness that comes her way. Congrats to them both!

The ruffled gown is from the wedding scene in the video. The white dress with the pleating and draping is her actual gown from her private ceremony. I don't think it was civil, because the man in the photo is clergy at her church I think.

Yes Girl, Monica is a survivor! Still Standing is the Sista's National Anthem.
I mean with lyrics like "I been through the storm
Had dirt on my name
I'm still holding on
Champion of the game"
She deserves all the happiness in the universe.
I agree!!!
