Da Brat’s Wedding Photos Are a Gay Fairytale Designed to Melt the February Ice Around Your Heart

By

On Tuesday, just in time to wrap up Black History Month — we see you!! — 90s rap legend Da Brat and her longtime partner Jesseca “Judy” Dupart went ahead and got married!!! And even as someone who pretty proudly declares that Love Is Always a Lie (whoops), these photos with all their rich pink and purple flowers, carriages, and mermaid style dresses reminded me of the last 30 seconds of every Disney movie I saw as a child, and just warmed my heart right up from the February ice.

The wedding will appear on a new season of “Brat Loves Judy,” premiering this June on WEtv (which is also how these gorgeous photos landed in our inbox this morning, thanks WEtv for not forgetting indie queer media in your PR kits!). Did I forget to mention that Da Brat and Judy are also having a baby!?!?

So here is a gratuitous post of nothing but fairytale happiness because Black love is beautiful and we deserve. That is all.

And finally, this one is giving “Happily Ever After.”
