CH: Baby, you want me to hold your bag or anything, or do you have it?
WH: I'm alright for now, mama. Where's Daddy?
CH: He'll be right behind us, Nippy. OK, the car stopped. We're getting out now. Careful now, baby.
(They leave the car, flashbulbs and all that. The crowd goes nuts. Interviews. They see Magic Johnson. Then they get to Kevin and Cindy.)
KC: Here she comes, giving the moon competition.
Booooy: You callin' my girl fat?
(Kevin frowns. Cissy rolls her eyes.)
KC: Moonlight is the most romantic lighting ever known to man, if you ask me. She inspires, she makes guys crazy. You're stealing her glory in that dress, Whit.
Boooby: The kfcu does that mean? The moon is white and the dress is black and my girl is black.
Cindy: He means she looks nice in her dress. (she looks at Kevin, wide-eyed. Shakes her head.)
Boooby: Yeah, everybody look nice, I guess. That's good.
KC: Whitney, they want some photos. Let's all get together.
(They stand in this order: Boooby, Whitney, Kevin and Cindy.)
KC: (smiles at Whitney.) You're holding up?
WH: I'm doing great.
KC: How is she doing? Smiles at her belly.
WH: She wants a something to drink. Lemonade. I neeeed me some lemonade for some reason.
KC: Yeah, some reason. (smiles)
WH: (winces.)
KC: What's the matter?
Booooby: Hey, yo. What you lookin' at? Yeah, keep walking, punk @ss.
WH: Nothing. Boooby that was the mayor! Stop!
KC: You know that doesn't work on me.
WH: I just need a back rub. I'm a little tired. Bobby gives decent ones. These flats are helping, but it's not the same as being at home, on the couch with my feet up.
KC: OK, I'll try to shorten this for you.
WH: You don't have to ...
KC: You know I will.
WH: Look, you are not Warner Brothers. You can't make everybody go home early because your pregnant co-star is tired. It's premiere night. Time to get paid. (flinches) What are you doing?
KC: Nothing. Keep smiling.
WH: You -- are you rubbing my back?!
KC: Keep smiling. The media's all here. Snapping away.
WH: Watch your hands!
KC: I know what I'm doing. Smile!
WH: I bet you do. Stop it!
Boooby: Hey, can I get a Hennessy inside?
WH: I think there's a champagne reception later. At a restaurant.
Boooby: I need me some Hennessy!! What a n----- got to do to get some Hennessy up in here?
KC: We'll pull something together for you. (To Whitney) Feel better?
WH: I can't believe you got away with that.
KC: Skills, Whit. Skills.
CH: (Shakes head.)
WH: What is it mama?
CH: I love the Lord, I do. But He mess me up sometimes. Why dangle a nice Baptist boy in front of you if he's already taken?
WH: Umm, mama you saw?! Omigod, I'm sorry, mama.
CH: Who do you think was blocking the cameras? And your husband over there can't take his mind off of his own gut long enough to see about you. But that's all I'm gonna say, boo-boo, I know you don't like it. Give mama some sugar. Are you going to be alright? I'm going to find a glass of water.
WH: And maybe some lemonade for me, too, mama. Please.
KC: Got it. Water and lemonade are inside, waiting for you. The usher will have a tray when you walk in.
Boooby: She betta have my Hennessy, that's all I'm saying.

KML!! I love it when Cissy calls Whitney boo-boo. Like she's saying, 'yall aint fooling nobody!'

The Wedding of Whitney Houston: July 18, 1992
(Original Post: September 1992)

It was the wedding of the decade, the most talked-about celebrity event of the year, and the most coveted invitation of the summer social season.

On a smoldering July afternoon, superstar singer Whitney Houston and pop-soul star Bobby Brown exchanged wedding vows in a private ceremony on Houston's posh New Jersey estate. Witnessed by a small gathering of family and close friends, including dozens of celebrities and entertainment tycoons, the talented stars were pronounced husband and wife in a romantic garden gazebo adorned with 8,000 roses and hundreds of orchids, all in lavender and purple, the Grammy Award-winning bride's favorite colors.

Radiant in a form-fitting beaded, Lyon lace gown with a four-foot train and a beaded headpiece with floor-length beaded tulle, a teary-eyed Houston was escorted down the carpeted aisle--which led from a rear entrance of her $10 million home--by her father, John Houston, as a string orchestra played Mendelssohn's wedding march.

Houston's close friend, the Rev. Marvin Winans, a member of the popular gospel singing family, officiated at the 35-minute, double-ring ceremony. BeBe Winans sang "Enough Said," a song he composed especially for the couple a few days before the wedding. His brother, Daniel Winans, sang a song he had written for Houston years before he met her. Both songs were so touching that the bride and groom and many in the audience were moved to tears. Throughout the ceremony, the maid of honor, Robyn Crawford, had to blot tears from the bride's eyes and cheeks.

Diane Johnson, who has been designing Houston's stage and personal wardrobes for years, co-designed the bridal gown with Marc Bouwer. "Whitney wanted to keep it a very simple design," says Johnson, who runs a boutique in East Orange, N.J., Houston's hometown. "The Lyon lace, imported from France, is the finest lace in the world. The lace made the dress." In addition, Johnson designed the groom's white double-breasted silk tuxedo and the bridesmaids' purple silk floor-length gowns with trains.

Among the attendants were two of Houston closest pals, recording artists Priscilla (CeCe) Winans Love and Perry (Pebbles) Reid. The best man, Brown's brother, Tommy, and the groomsmen, who included Houston's brother, Michael, were all attired in Johnson-designed purple tuxedos with matching purple alligator shoes that were custom-made in Italy. The four flower girls and three ring bearers were adorable in white and lavender.

"Purple is Whitney's favorite color," Johnson emphasizes. "She wanted everything in purple and lavender and white. She even decorates her Christmas tree in purple."

The couple exchanged identical platinum wedding bands. Hers had the words "Love, Bobby" in cut-out script, while his read, "Love, Whitney."

After Brown enthusiastically declared, "I do!!" and the couple were pronounced husband and wife, the guests were awed as seven white doves were released outside the gazebo. The couple then sealed the union with a long, passionate kiss during which Brown literally lifted his bride into the air as the jubilant guests applauded.

Afterwards, the newlyweds entertained 800 guests at a lavish wedding reception hosted in a huge air-conditioned, carpeted ballroom tent constructed on Houston's lawn above the swimming pool. Lavender and purple fabrics draped the ceiling and lined the tent, giving the illusion of an Arabian palace. Some 15,000 lilac and purple dendrobium orchids decorated support columns, entrances and exits. Each of the 84 tables in the dining tent, one of seven set up for the affair, was clothed and beribboned in three layers of lavender ribbed satin that highlighted the elaborate centerpieces. The floral arrangements included blue roses and cattleya orchids in shades of lavender and purple. Candles in hurricane glasses created a warm, romantic glow that contrasted with the elaborate and effective light and sound show. Guests identified their tables by silver-trimmed white cards with phrases, such as "Lover For Life" and "Love Obsession," scripted in lavender.

The sit-down dinner was opulent but relaxed, for in between courses the formally attired guests boogied on the purple and white oval dance floor to music programmed by David Cole and Robert Clivilles of C + C Music Factory. The menu included chilled peach soup, grilled chateaubriand, jersey chicken breasts stuffed with collard greens, and grilled herbed vegetables. For dessert, there were fresh berries, an assortment of chocolate delicacies,
as well as slices of the six-tiered, 18-layered wedding cake. The architectural confection, decorated with hand-molded lavender sugar violets, had alternating layers of strawberry lemon mousse and banana cake. An army of waiters kept glasses filled with Dom Perignon and Cristal champagne throughout the evening.

The wealthy couple had requested that in lieu of gifts, guests make donations to the Whitney Houston Foundation For Children.

Among the nuptial guests were some of the biggest and wealthiest names in show business and beyond, including Clive Davis, president of Houston's Arista Records, and Al Teller, president of Brown's MCA Records. Also enjoying the festivities were Phylicia Rashad, Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight, Dionne Warwick (Whitney's cousin), Jasmine Guy, Antonio (L.A.) Reid, Kenneth (Babyface) Edmonds, Donald Trump, Dick Clark, Charles Dutton and his wife, Debbi Morgan, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Blair Underwood, Clifton Davis, Teddy Riley, Isiah Thomas, Gloria Estefan, Malcolm-Jamal Warner and his mother-manager, Pamela Warner, Meli'sa Morgan, Milira, Heavy D., Valerie Simpson, Freddie Jackson, and Bobby Brown's former New Edition cohorts, Johnny Gill, Ricky Bell,
Michael Bivins and Ronnie DeVoe.

Brown and Houston met three years ago backstage at the Soul Train Music Awards. Romantic sparks ignited immediately and Brown was invited to Houston's star-studded 26th birthday party at her estate in 1989. At the time, she was dating Eddie Murphy, who gave her a huge diamond ring for her birthday. Houston later dated Randall Cunningham, who also attended the wedding. About a year ago Houston and Brown became a loving twosome and wedding plans started to gel.

In the meantime, Houston recently finished filming her debut movie, The Bodyguard, in which she co-stars with handsome, acclaimed actor Kevin Costner. The film is scheduled for release during the upcoming holiday season, and initial reports predict that Houston has a very promising future in Hollywood. That is, if she chooses to focus on movies rather than, or in addition to, the successful and lucrative recording career she already has established. Houston's 1985 album became the all-time best-selling debut ever by a solo
artist, selling 13 million copies. Her three albums have sold more than 39 million copies worldwide, and she is the only artist to achieve seven consecutive No. 1 hits.

The Wedding of Whitney Houston: July 18, 1992

I hadn't realized WH's wedding and the making of The Bodyguard were in such close proximity in time. This makes everything far worse in terms of them being star-crossed. No wonder he had such a hard time recovering from his divorce. I think KC's marriage was already in trouble when Whitney was still single, he had at least a mega-crush on her (and he admitted he loved her when he made the well-documented statement 'I will always love her') so he probably thought of a relationship with her as a jumping off point if and when his marriage with Cindy crumbled. Then--worst mistake of any human being's life--she marries the completely wrong guy--just as he (Costner) is about to be free. OMG!!!! WTH?!!!! He must've been heartbroken--he's ending a marriage just as she is beginning one! UGH!!!! D@mn! D@mn! D@mn! I mean I do wish he stayed married (and loyal) to Cindy, but if they were going to break up anyway--jeez, that is beyond horribly tragic. So freakin' close, yet so d@mned far!!! Makes it even worse!

Btw--does anyone know if he received an invitation to the wedding, but just didn't go or was he never invited (sorry if this was already mentioned, I missed the discussion if it were)? With 800 guests, you would've thought he would've been one of them given his importance in her newly-launched movie career. Also does anyone know if Whitney was invited to or attended his equally ill-advised wedding in Colorado? There were 500 guests invited to that media spectacle, so I'm wondering if Whitney were one of them.

Yeah I kinda figured already (even without that article) that Whitney's wedding and the Bodyguard filming were very close in timing it's just was a gut feeling I've had and I guess I'm right. Thanks for that article. It's definitely more tragic now because it's basically confirmed with that article the wedding and the movie filming were indeed in close in timing.

I'm not sure about this maybe someone else can answer this question, but I'm assuming she was invited I mean it'd only make sense, but who knows.

"MUSICAL ACT(OR): Kevin Costner makes his first visit to a Billboard songs chart, as "The Angels Came Down" enters Christian Digital Songs at No. 8. The song is credited to Costner and Modern West, the country/rock band he founded in 2007. In 2008, the act's "Untold Truths" reached No. 35 on Heatseekers Albums. "

"Costner and Modern West performed "Angel" on April 14 at a ceremony in which a memorial was dedicated in honor of five soldiers from the 11th Aviation Command in Fort Knox, Ky., killed last year in Afghanistan. "

"This loss of a child, a husband, a daughter … we know that a song can't heal that," Costner told those in attendance. "But, 'When the Angels Came Down,' that's what we like to think, that when our loved one was suffering the most, that angels covered them, (took) away their fear and took away the pain. And, if we can live with that idea, I think we can all sleep a little better."

Yep and I've also added them to the Rachel/Frank thread over here. We can never seem to catch the unedited version and I don't think we ever will. I'm not that optimistic anymore. They play the edited version too much now.

I'm gonna keep hoping, or try my best to find the unedited version somewhere.

I read on a Whitney forum where sum fans were gonna tweet to clive davis I think, seeing if he can get the director's cut released. So, I'm brainstorming. If we go forward with the petition idea, where are sum places we could link it?

You're very welcome. Last year I was in a store that had the deleted scenes on DVD and I left it. I think we should contact Warner Brothers and let them know for the real 20th Anniversary Nov 25, 2012 we want the added scenes.

I have the special edition too and a lot of people get confused, assuming the special edition has the deleted scenes.
