Don’t give up on love!
This was not the case for actress and singer LeToya Luckett, as the star recently tied the knot with her partner Taleo Coles in a star-studded celebration in Houston on July 27.
In a behind-the-scenes video provided by ESSENCE, the couple can be seen dancing together and kissing at the welcoming ceremony. Shortly after, we get a glimpse into their wedding day, including tears shed, vows read, and fun the bride and her beau had.
“I remember the moment we spoke on the phone for the first time. I knew you would be my wife,” he said during the ceremony. “Together we will build a life full of love, happiness and countless memories.”
“Taleo, my darling, this love feels like peace,” she shared in her heartwarming vows. “I feel divinely connected to you.”
From there, we get a glimpse of the celebration as guests danced and the couple beamed. Revelers spotted in the clip include Toya Johnson-Rushing, Tammy Franklin, Eudoxie Bridges, Monique Rodriquez of Mielle Organics, singer MAJOR., actress and singer Hailey Kilgore and more. Other guests included Bun B, LaTavia Roberson, Terrell Grice and Ms. Tina Knowles.
Earlier this year, Luckett spoke about finding love again after a divorce. She didn’t reveal too much about Coles at the time, but did so during a visit to Tamron Hall Show that she was happy.
“I’m spoiled with kindness every day,” she said. “I’m spoiled with peace. I’m spoiled with support. I’m spoiled with stability and love – and I had to give it to myself first – but the fact that God saw fit to put it in the form of a man, I’m not going to complain.”
She added, “I’m very happy. I have so much peace, guys. I have so much peace, I’m happy and I’ve never really been in this situation because I feel like, ever since I was a kid, I was moving around and trying to figure it out and then, you know, getting married, having kids, going through a divorce and moving to another city, it was a lot. I feel like I’m finally in a place where I’m stable. I’m stable and I feel good.”
In an exclusive interview for our August digital cover, Luckett shared that she met Coles in 2022 through a longtime friend. Two years later, they are husband and wife. “I feel like our story is a story of hope,” Luckett told us. “For the single moms who may doubt that love and a blended family is possible, I hope our journey shows them that it’s never too late to find happiness and build something beautiful.”
