Monaleo and Stunna 4 Vegas

When it comes to 2025 wedding ceremonies, rappers Monaleo and Stunna 4 Vegas set the bar high. Monaleo meant it when she rapped on “Sexy Soulaan,” “you can’t outdo the doer,” because their wedding is indeed one for the books. Tying the knot on Sept. 19, 2025, in an all-pink wedding, the couple livestreamed their wedding ceremony for over 100,000 viewers. 

North Carolina rapper Stunna 4 Vegas, known for songs “Go Stupid” and “Animal,” walked down the aisle to a violinist playing UGK’s “Int’l Players Anthem (I Chose You)” in a custom suit by Well Groomed Man, according to People.

Houston-native Monaleo walked down the aisle with her father to Beyonce’s “1+1” in a stunning pink Alonuko dress. Leading up to their big day, the couple revealed their journey wasn’t always easy.

The bride opened up about childhood traumas, abuse, and finding love. 

She also explained to People that her partner has always been protective, and she appreciates the protection he provides. The groom also shared his appreciation for Monaleo, stating, “She’s there for me. You don't always expect a girl to be there for you, but she’s there for me.”

The two also elaborated on the tough situations they had to overcome with their fathers. Stunna 4 Vegas recently met his father and grandfather for the first time this year. Monaleo also shared how her father walking her down the aisle was important due to his severe health battle with cancer and many surgeries. 

The couple has been locked in since meeting at a recording studio in 2021, even welcoming a son into the world in 2023.

They shed tears, exchanged their vows, jumped the broom and essentially showed that black love is strong and beating the odds. “I was really excited to share this process and just promote Black love, Black unity, Black community,” Monaleo said.

These couples have left a lasting impression on couples around the globe, as well as single people hoping to one day walk down the aisle. Black love is peaking, and marriages are on the rise. That deserves a celebration.
