"The nuptials were not widely covered by the local media"

Maybe they just wanted privacy and are not as media hungry as another couple we can all think of!

omg congrats to her So happy for her . I hope she had a great wedding and may god bless her marriage

dominican girls love the negros

,,,,

It's not hellborn... it's born stupid!

I am very surprised. Not because the guy is black, but because the guy is a jock. I could have sworned she would have married a well to do lawyer, doctor or some famous person in the entertainment industry. This caught us all by surprise. There was no warning, no prior media coverage of their courtship prior to the wedding. The time span between the time they met and the marriage was likely very short and had a hasty wedding without media coverage. I guess she was very impressed with his jock.........I mean rather, she was swept of her feet by this jock

Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tony Parker and many others ...The 3 ended up with a divorce, hope he signed a contract and protected his dollars lol

Some of you guys are so ignorant that the first thing you look at is always race and just proves how racist you really are.

hellborn25 & guillermone,

The NBA player that you think is BLACK, Al Horford, full name is "Alfred Joel Horford Reynoso" also known as the SON of Tito Horford the 1st Dominican to play in the NBA. Juan Luis Guerra's niece Amelia Vega actually married one of her countrymen not some random African American player from the NBA. If I'm not mistaken i think he is actually a Dominican National born in DR. for all you College Basketball fans, you might remember him as the star Center for that Florida Gators team that won the back to back National Titles back in 04' and 05' or 05 and 06'....

Money talks, Nehesy type's walk barefoot.

Some of you guys are so ignorant that the first thing you look at is always race and just proves how racist you really are.

hellborn25 & guillermone,

first of all I already knew he was dominican , and I already knew he was the son of tito horford , one of the worst dominican bastketball players of all time , second of all he still is a black man or can pass off has black men?? , so thats why I said as a joke in reference to the dominican gilrs , I watch his carrer in florida he won two national tittles in the ncaa and is now a player going on his 4th season with atlanta hawks , and how is that racist ?? the morons on this site really need to get a sense of humor

Would Amelia had married this "hunk", if he had been a poor, street, prepaid cellular card salesman?
Money talks, raggedy Nehesy types stay in the bateys.

LOLLLLLL LLLLL jajajaja

Your hatred will give you a cancer man, please take a chill pill. It's only internet man. You need love in your life papa !

- Dominican women surely know what is "negro fino" (Pena Gomez was married to "white" dominican women too...) All women look for security : the guy is young, rich, successful and DOMINICAN . Where is the problem ?

To my DOMINICAN brother AL HORFORD : Vaya Negro !!! Parece que hay gente celosa por alli ; jajajaja

I wish them ALL the best and also many kids

PS: I'm sure she calls him " Mi negro bello" jajaja

Well, at 6'1", she needed a man that was taller than her so that things don't look too awkward, so I guess the NBA was where she could go to shop for a tall man. As for people saying this is about money... Amelia has her own money... is may not be Al Harford money, but her own money indeed.

Horford was born in the city of Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic. Who cares if she married Al Horford or what he looks like.....if he is a good person why not what does it matter if he is black or white.

Some peopled infer race and if the shoe fits... Al Horford is Dominican, the race really doesn't matter amongst us. It's more about our values. Of course she ain't gonna go for no po' brother out there whether he be white or black. She is a mujer de categoria, Ella es la fina. Es una dama. So that is why the whole "jock" joke was low and pariguayo. He is a gentleman, a very nice guy.
Un caballero y una dama, una pareja muy bella. A normal Dominican couple that I am cansao of seeing in Dominican communities all across the USA.

"the race really doesn't matter amongst us. It's more about our values"

Yeah right ......go and tell that to Sammy Sosa !!! jajaja

but for the extraordinary height and the riches, Horford looks no different than many "brothers" you see in NY or Santo Domingo for that matter.

...Amelia Vega ....she's alright I guess ... Aimee de la Cruz is more my flavor.

I guess because of these, Knuckle Dragger, racist and sexist comments is that they wanted to keep it private and out of the media.

May these two HUMAN BEINGS enjoy a happy and healthy long life together with the beautiful children I hope they have.


PERIOD, Coño-Carajo!

May these two HUMAN BEINGS enjoy a happy and healthy long life together with the beautiful children I hope they have.

..she's probably preggers - is why this happened so suddenly - "shot gun style".

Yes, two Human Beings, but one "black" male and the other "white" female. It can't help but stir up all kinds of visceral reactions in "non"black men. As hundreds of years of history have showed, - this is their big fear right ?

the big buck "Negro" gets money and status and starts tapping "their" women at will.

Congratulations to this fine Dominican couple....

omg I can't believe these irgont comments are coming from people that are from the same country as I am .

1) stop with this white and black shit because in the end of the day Amelia is no considered white and even in DR I heard people say que linda es esa india. And we all know we could be white as white and have blue eyes we could still have African blood in us

2) for those who think their white go to a place that majority are white and have fun saying that you're white and have all those gringos laugh at you. Trust me if I was called a hispic in middle school having light skin and light hair then all you guys would to

3) and please guys go on with your lives thanks

@Tupapa-"Some of you guys are so ignorant that the first thing you look at is always race and just proves how racist you really are- hellborn25 & guillermone."

Dude you need to re-read my post, stop reading into it to see more of what I did not say, which is definitely not ignorance and racism.

I never said that Al was no good, what I meant was that for a women of her category she could have done a lot better then a jock. I mean had he not been a basket ball player, take the title and paycheck away, he is nothing more then an average, everyday ordinary guy walking down the streets of Pto Plata.

Let me give you an example. The Kardashian sisters have nothing special, absolutely nothing better then Amelia, nothing of great worth to a Man, yet they did just as good, both married ball players, two girls who offered very little in return. That is why I am disappointed at Amelia, she has much going for her yet she did not do any better then the abnoxious Kardashian sisters.

guillermone what I find funny is that other new outlets are calling her a gold digger lol

but its so cute what hartford mother said about her so it means that they dated for a long time since we all know how dominican mothers are

Divinedominicana-"what I find funny is that other new outlets are calling her a gold digger lol"

That might be a possibility, but who knows for sure. Only time will tell the true motive of her heart.

Nevertheless, I would like to see and read where are the "other new outlets" which you talk about.
Where can I find it ?

divinedominicana,

The problem is guys here on DT don't understand this:

antonio ! I second that ...I hope they have a wonderful marriage

Hellborn,

You didn't know sh!t about Al Horford so stop acting. It's amazing how we could obtain information in seconds (with the invention of the internet) to hide your ignorance. It's terrific how any idiot can act like a genius because of GOOGLE. Make sure you pay your Triple Play bill or you'll go back to being stupid...LoL

Guillermone,

I'm having a difficult time understanding the point your trying to get across. What do you mean "what I meant was that for a women of her category she could have done a lot better then a jock". Since when is being a JOCK make you less of a man or not qualified to marry a Pageant Queen? You take the Title away from Amelia and she is just another girl walking down the streets of Santo Domingo. We are all just ordinary people without our accomplishments. It's the overachievers that stand out and make millions, while ORDINARY people just blog about them (HINT-HINT).

5yr $60million dollar contract entitles you to date anyone you want if you ask me. Even without the NBA contract, he can be very successful after graduating from The University of Florida, one of the top Universities in the US.
Oh as for your comment about the Kardashians, those are entrepreneurial women who made an Empire worth Millions out of NOTHING. You wont make a fraction of that in your entire life.

Only a man living in a cave could have problem with bi-racial couples : always existed and will exist because at the end love is more powerful than racism and hatred :

- Seal and Heidi Klum
- David Bowie and Iman
- J Lo and P Diddy few years ago

In Paris, London, MADRID, Oslo, Roma or Stockholm you have many black males married with European females and some of them work in the Mcdonalds...

This new couple (Black Dominican male/female and "White" Dominican female/male) is to be found everywhere in the DR : Rich, Middle Class, Poors. God bless them and I hope that they will pass all their life together.

"in the end of the day Amelia is not considered white " : Agree 200 %, and a DNA test is not necessary to prove it

i hope its true love and good for him but i tell one thing which is true and iam hispanic,its all about the pay check for her.i would belieave its true love if it was a local guy with a normal job like a teacher or guy who works in jumbo.its never love its always about the money, convienence, andsecurity for a women.you see rich men marry poor women or women with less income all the time,but u never see a rich women EVERRRRRRRRRRR marry a poor guy or a guy who makes less then them.and if the women does have money,she always merrys a men with more money then her,

Tupapa yes, you don't understand and are having a hard time grasping what I stated. Al is simpy a nice guy with bucks. That does not make him bad, it means is that among the best he is average. Amelia could have easily married above that, into royalty, a reknown political leader, a world famous entertainer, a business mogul, a man of Arts, science and culture. If Al is ever injured and can no longer play, that is it, poof... that juicy contract is gone and over. He will forever be forgotten and fade away like the thousands of atheletes that were at the height of their careers but once over, have never been heard of again or later reappear pushing products as Amway recruiters.

Finally $60million dollar contract does not "entitle" anyone to anything. Money opens doors and gives you options, but does not automatically give anyone the right to anything unless payment is required for a product or service. If Amelia is a product or provides a service then he is "entitlled" to pay for her

"You take the Title away from Amelia and she is just another girl walking down the streets of Santo Domingo. " (You mean the streets of Santiago)

I can tell you right now, you are wrong. Amelia was a queen long before the coronation. There can only be one queen, but among the boys, there are thousands of nice guys with money who play great ball.

Amelia vega ... not impressed really. Ada Aimee is far better

Amelia vega ... not impressed really. Ada Aimee is far better.

OK............that is acceptable, you have a right to an opinion and to state what you think.
For my taste I prefer Amelia, although Ada Aimee has a better personality.
One thing they have in common, their names both start with the letter A the first letter of the Alphabet. Does that mean anything? LOL............

"Amelia vega ... not impressed really. Ada Aimee is far better" : Agree
