Usher shines as groomsman at Robin Thicke's Mexico wedding
Robin Thicke finally tied the knot with April Love Geary in a breathtaking ceremony at Las Ventanas al Paraiso, Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. The coastal setting provided a picture-perfect backdrop for the couple's long-awaited union after a six-year engagement. Among the seven groomsmen standing by Robin's side was none other than his close friend, Usher, adding star power to the joyous occasion. The wedding took place on Friday, 30 May, and it was nothing short of spectacular. Usher, 46, looked dashing in a sleek black suit with a matching bow tie and polished shoes. He stood proudly alongside Robin Thicke, 48, who wore a similar classic ensemble, according to People. The My Boo singer clapped enthusiastically as Robin and April exchanged vows and rings, marking a heartfelt moment witnessed by family, friends, and celebrity guests. Robin's 15-year-old son Julian, whom he shares with ex-wife Paula Patton, also took on the role of groomsman. Julian stood closer to the altar, beaming with pride as he witnessed his father's special day. The presence of both father and son in matching black suits symbolised the blending of family and friendship. Rumours suggest that Hollywood heavyweights Leonardo DiCaprio and Ken Jeong were among the guests, making the event a star-studded affair. The festivities kicked off early with an all-white welcome party, complete with sparklers, shared on social media by influencer Stormi Bree. Robin and April's children — Mia (7), Lola (6), and Luca Patrick (4) — were also part of the celebrations, adding a warm family touch to the event. The couple's love story has been a long journey, beginning shortly after Robin's separation from Paula Patton in 2014. Robin Thicke and April's relationship blossomed quietly before they made their public debut as a couple at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2015. April announced their engagement on Christmas Eve 2018 with a heartfelt Instagram post: 'YES YES 1000x YES 😭😭💍.' The couple surprised fans again when Robin proposed a second time on the steps of the Hôtel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cannes, the very place where their love story became public. April shared their joy on Instagram, writing, 'This trip was such a dream. 🤍 I love you so much.' The intimate wedding followed just days later, sealing their decade-long romance. This glamorous wedding reminds fans that love stories can flourish despite challenges and time. As Usher said during the ceremony, 'It's an honour to stand by my brother's side today. Here's to a lifetime of happiness.' Let us know by leaving a comment below, or send a WhatsApp to 060 011 021 1.

Africa Day reminds us and teaches us to appreciate what our leaders fought for.' Another student, Minenhle Mbuyeleni, said that for the youth, the day was enlightening, as it also showed where they come from as Africans. 'It reminds us that we are important. It's also a huge opportunity for the youth because we are exposed to things that we didn't know about.' Mbuyeleni who is studying to be a professional cook said it's her dream job. 'One day, I will open my own restaurant and I will have a story to tell.'
