A chic, intimate black and white Hollywood wedding was had for American Idol's LaKisha Jones. Season 6 fourth place runner-up Houston native got married to Larry Davis on October 5, 2008 in Los Angeles. The couple had met in February 2008 through mutual friends. Fifty wedding guests including season 6 idols Haley Scarnato, Melinda Doolittle, Gina Glocksen and fan favorite, Sanjaya Malakar witnessed the ceremony held at the renowned Beverly Wilshire Hotel.
The celeb-friendly hotel was decorated with round white candles resting on floating black stands, and red rose petals dotted along the floor. The bride's five-year old daughter Brionne, serving as flower girl and junior bridesmaid, threw petals from a black and white basket.
Larry proposed to handbag fanatic LaKisha in June with his recently late mother’s vintage Louis Vuitton handbag. Inside there was a 4.5-carat Zales diamond and a card that read, “Happy today, happy together, happy forever. From Mr., to Mrs.”, LaKisha told PEOPLE magazine.
"People might say we did everything too soon, but no one can ever tell you what your heart feels,” said Jones, “and when the time is right to have those feelings.”
The minister, Dr. Ed Montgomery of Houston, joked with the guests during the ceremony, "Pay attention. What I'm about to say is very important: We'll have the results right after these messages."
LaKisha wore a strapless Alfred Angelo gown, custom crystal-encrusted shoes by Stuart Weitzman and a quarter of a million dollars in jewellery: diamond earrings, necklace and bracelet by Neil Lane. We’d expect nothing less from this soulful singing Idol star.
