The BoomBox got to thinking of other big-name R&B and hip-hop stars like Timbaland, Monica, and T.I. who have had weddings at exotic destinations, donned elaborate gowns and suits or showcased over-the-top details that their fans can only dream of experiencing on their own big day.
Not all artists like to stunt in front of the world, keeping some of their wedding details on the hush-hush with a private ceremony like Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz, then there's others who shock the world with a marriage no one saw coming like Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon did in 2008.
With that said, check out some of the outrageous, fantastical and unexpected happenings at these R&B and hip-hop weddings. Check out which lauded singers and rappers even made the guest list.
