Richard Jefferson Wedding

NBA star Richard Jefferson's buddies showed up for his wedding last Saturday to former New Jersey Net dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols. The problem was Jefferson decided not to make the nuptials. The New York Post reports that the $2 million bash at the Mandarin Oriental in New York City did not go off as planned.

Jefferson, formerly of the Nets, was recently traded from Milwaukee to San Antonio and evidently also broke off his engagement at the same time. Nichols was able to find the time to tell her friends and relatives not to show up.

Nichols, who a friend said was surprised but "not entirely caught off-guard" got an upgrade at the hotel to a suite. A friend of Jefferson told the Post that he was told by Jefferson about two hours before the ceremony. It wasn't all bad for the Jefferson crew. He gave his friend his Black Amex credit card to use for the night.

Kesha Ni Cole Nichols

Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols walks down the aisle, her groom, NBA star Richard Jefferson makes a decision that his fiancee and wedding guests will not soon forget. He passed. The other news is that sources say that he waiting until two hours before the wedding to tell some of the guests, who were already at the Mandarin Oriental!

"The cold-footed forward's decision to ditch onetime Net dancer Kesha Ni'Cole Nichols was so last-minute that some of his oblivious friends had already shown up last Saturday at the swank Mandarin Oriental in Columbus Circle for the $2 million wedding that never happened" (The New York Post).

No one knows for sure if Jefferson got cold feet, or was hiding some big juicy secret, but the world should soon find out. Not too sure he can go on with his life without some sort of explanation. The couple met on the court, as Nichols was an NBA dancer for the Nets, Jefferson's former team (he was recently traded to the Spurs). The couple were newly engaged just last month.
