Boston Celtic champ Ray Allen finally married his long time love, Shannon Walker Williams in a posh private ceremony on Martha’s Vineyard this past weekend.
Allen, 33, who has been engaged to Shannon, also 33, for five years, exchanged vows with his beaming bride at a rented waterfront estate in front of a small group of family and friends. The couple’s three kids, Tierra, Ray III and Walker, were front and center along with a special guest the Larry O’Brien Championship trophy that the Celtics won when they put tha spanking on the LosANgeles Lakers.
The NBA star and his bride were serenaded by Grammy nominee Brian McKnight, who sang his hit “Never Felt This Way” as Shannon walked down the aisle, the very same song with which Ray had proposed.
The bride wore a white fitted Melissa Sweet gown and veil, while the groom looked dashing in a white suit, blue-and-white striped tie and a violet orchid in his lapel.
Allen and Shannon, a Middlebury, Conn., native, met when Ray was a basketball star at the University of Connecticut.
Congratulations to The Happy Couple

She's definitely an "other". Now whether or not she's white I can't say for sure but she looks like it.

You're absolutely right! That they love each other is all that should matter.
