Huge congratulations are in order for Juelz Santana and Kimbella Vanderhee, who tied the knot in a gorgeous ceremony this weekend! There were smiles all around as the celebration took place just ahead of Juelz’s departure for prison on firearms charges. But will Juelz and Kimbella’s wedding be featured on LHHNY this season? According to our sources, you’re in luck if you want the full Love & Hip Hop treatment — but we’ve also got plenty of pics and clips from the big day for you to see.
It’s been a long road back for the couple, who were reportedly on the verge of a nasty breakup two years ago before turning things around. They were the first old-schoolers confirmed to be coming back for LHHNY Season 9, and it looks like they decided to make the most of the return:
Kimbella positively shone alongside her four bridesmaids: Love & Hip Hop New York and Miami co-stars Yandy Smith, and Cyn Santana, plus Juju, and Miami-based model Lisa Morales:
And Juelz kept it chill with groomsmen CEO Slow, Tobb Cobain, @skullgangtwin of Skull Gang Records, @black_a_don, and @defalt.1k:
Here’s an especially crisp shot of Kimbella’s father walking her down the aisle:
And one of Juelz and Kimbella’s first kiss as husband and wife (it looks possibly staged, but no less romantic for that):
Here’s a lovely video montage of the day itself, courtesy of Kimbella on IG and the videographers at Dexterity Productions — who it looks like filmed Juelz and Kimbella’s wedding for the couple, rather than for VH1:
But will Juelz and Kimbella’s wedding make an appearance on Love & Hip Hop New York Word on the street is that VH1’s cameras were indeed in attendance. It’s believed that the wedding will be incorporated into an episode at the end of LHHNY Season 9. But there’s a chance it will become its very own wedding special, just like with Yandy and Mendeecees Harris back in Season 5.
We’ll close out this photo and video gallery with a few more IG updates courtesy of the wedding party and some of the designers who made it all possible. Congrats once again to Juelz and Kimbella!
Juelz and Kimbella’s wedding took place shortly before Juelz is expected to surrender to authorities after being sentenced to federal prison earlier this year. Juelz got a 27-month sentence for bringing a loaded pistol on board a plane at Newark International Airport, as well as for carrying non-prescription oxycodone. He’s expected to be released in May of 2021.
Love & Hip Hop New York Season 9 airs Monday nights at 8 on VH1.
