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.

Robin, 48, and April, 30, got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico surrounded by their family and friends to celebrate their big day. April, who looked stunning in a white laced dress and veil reposted pictures and videos from guests to her Instagram story. Alongside a photo of the happy couple, one guest penned: "I love, love. Especially real, raw, resilient love." In the picture, Robin could be seen wearing a black suit with a white flower lapel. In one video, an empty chair on the front row could be seen with a sign that read: "In Loving Memory Of Alan Thicke." The seat was left empty for the singer's father, Alan who died in 2016. Another snippet from the big day adorably showed the couple's son Luca Patrick, four, walking down the aisle with his dad as ring bearer. Matching his dad in a black tux, two-year-old Luca held a brief case which read: "Ring Security". Robin and April are also parents to daughters Mia Love, seven, and Lola Alain, six.

Two strangers carry a budding romance, and a cake, across New York
The musical, by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, makes the most of Tutty's irresistible charm as the naïve fish-out-of-water, in contrast to Pitts's jaded Robin. Tutty and Pitts have terrific chemistry, and Tutty absolutely delivers on Robin's description of Dougal as 'a Golden Retriever with less boundaries.' His opening number, 'New York,' perfectly captures Dougal's childlike excitement about his 48-hour adventure in a city he expects to be defined by the cherished movies he's seen (including 'Taxi Driver,' 'Midnight Cowboy,' and 'Big'). Advertisement Despite her eye rolls, it's clear Robin finds his comically dorky impersonations more endearing than she'd like to admit. Tutty has impressive vocal chops and dance moves, both of which feel wild and free — when he lets them explode — even though we know they were precisely rehearsed and choreographed. Advertisement Pitts's character is explored in 'What'll It Be,' a heartfelt ballad set in the Bump and Grind, the coffee shop where Robin works, as she wonders what will be next for her. Pitts, too, is a stunning singer and actor, giving the audience a haunting tour of her childhood neighborhood in 'This Is the Place' with all the love and regret that can entail. Tutty and Pitts in "Two Strangers." Nile Scott Studios and Maggie Hall Director and choreographer Tim Jackson moves his two performers effortlessly up, down, and around Soutra Gilmour's inventive baggage claim area set. Gilmour's piles of suitcases turn to provide different scenes, even as an outer turntable allows the actors to cover a lot of ground — a visit to the ice rink at Rockefeller Center, a sumptuous Plaza hotel room, an Uber ride and a coffee shop, and even a Chinese restaurant. Gilmour's collection of seemingly nondescript luggage also provides a delightfully surprising array of closets and cabinets as needed. Every inch of the space is employed in a climactic booze-fueled spree through New York, courtesy of Dougal's estranged father's credit card. Despite the limitations of creating dance routines that can be safely executed on a narrow, moving turntable, the couple's fearless energy, whipped up lighting, and spot-on timing (watch for the appearance of his tux jacket) are perfectly combined. Barne and Buchan's musical numbers are pleasantly, sometimes humorously derivative, with a special nod to Stephen Sondheim's patter songs in 'The Hangover Duet.' Jeffrey Campos leads the crisp five-piece band (keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and percussion). Advertisement The magical moments emerge from the clever and funny banter between Dougal and Robin, which reveals more about their characters than the exposition-heavy phone calls and letters that slow the action down. This is perfectly summed up by a subplot in which Dougal helps Robin find a match on a dating app. His sweet understanding of what she's looking for could have been more deeply explored. 'Two Strangers' finishes with a big, heartwarming number, 'If I Believed' — spoiler alert, there is snow — leaning more into cliché than necessary. Like a Hallmark movie, 'Two Strangers' boasts enough humor and whimsy to be sweet and superficially appealing, but at the end, all we're left with is the superficial. TWO STRANGERS (CARRY A CAKE ACROSS NEW YORK) Musical by Jim Barne and Kit Buchan. Directed and choreographed by Tim Jackson. Music direction by Jeffrey Campos. A Kiln Theatre production, produced by the American Repertory Theater. Loeb Drama Center, Brattle Street, Cambridge, through July 13. Tickets from $35. 617-547-8300,
