Looking over a lot of the wedding pictures of Tina Knowles, mother of Beyoncé and Solange, and actor Richard Lawson, which took place on a yacht in California, it was surprising that she was smiling in so few of them. Maybe that is just her personality. But even if that is the case, this was a wedding, a joyous occasion! Lawson, on the other hand, was smiling all over the place. [...] Lawson, whose real name is Rickey Lee Lawson, was at one time married to Denise Gordy, Berry Gordy's niece.
