Jefferson's Cold Feet
by Mike Krumboltz
Most weddings go off without a hitch. But every once in a while, the blessed event gets a surprise twist. This past weekend, NBA star Richard Jefferson's wedding left guests asking a big question: "Where the heck is the groom?"
According to the New York Post, Jefferson was scheduled to marry former New Jersey Nets dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols. Alas, a few days before the big day, Jefferson called off the ceremony and broke up with his fiancée.
Unfortunately, nobody told a significant number of guests. Many showed up at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City expecting to see a bride, a groom, some vows, and a kiss. Instead they found that Jefferson had gone MIA. However, he did lend his friend his AMEX Black credit card and told him to treat the guests to a fun night without him.
The confusion led to some spectacular spikes in Search. Lookups on "richard jefferson wedding" surged 5,687%, and interest in the jilted bride was similarly enthusiastic. Queries on "kesha ni'cole nichols pictures" went from zip into the thousands overnight.
According to various sources from the Buzz, the wedding cost around $2 million. Next time, may we suggest city hall?
I've always kind of liked Richard Jefferson but now that he plays for San Antonio I've got to start finding ways to hate him. It's gonna be tough but I'm up to it.
I'm sure you think I'm going to bag on him for cancelling this wedding. Wrong. If I was him I would have done the same thing. Sure, it's great to be a couple in Milwaukee or New Jersey. The breeding stock aint great. See below.
But this is Texas. Mr. Jefferson needs some time to play. Plus he left his AMEX card for the guests. By the way, I would have demolished that on an open bar.
What I'm really hoping is that he cancelled his wedding because he's having an affair with Eva Longoria. That would be the single greatest thing to happen in a long time.
