Tying The Knot

Omarosa gained some weight over the weekend ... with a fat rock. She's engaged!

John Allen Newman proposed to Omarosa Sunday in front of his congregation at The Sanctuary @ Calvary Church in Jacksonville, FLA ... a churchgoer who witnessed the proposal tells TMZ.

He's a pastor there ... so cross off finding a place and a minister from the to-do list.

Omarosa -- also an assistant pastor at Weller Street Baptist Church in L.A. -- met John when she was teaching at Howard University ... and we're told they've dated less than a year.

Congrats!

Ric Flair ain't the only DIAMOND RING WEARING person in his life -- the wrestling legend just popped the question to his longtime GF ... and she said YES!

The 67-year-old superstar is now officially engaged to his former WCW manager Wendy Barlow -- aka Fifi the Maid -- this according to our friends at Pro Wresling Sheet.

It'll be Flair's 5th marriage. His 4th wife pulled the plug on their relationship back in 2012.

Barlow has already been showing off the ring ... and there's only one word to describe the massive rock ... WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

Richie Sambora just beat Jon Bon Jovi in a game of wedding singer.

We just got this video of former JBJ lead guitarist Richie strumming the band's classic, "Livin' On a Prayer" at his nephew Shane Ahern's L.A. wedding. You might think a rocker of Sambora's caliber would shy away from this sorta thing ... but he's sooo into it.

We're told the DJ provided the guitar, but the whole thing was unrehearsed. The woman singing with Sambora is Orianthi, who's currently touring with him.

You might recall Jon had a similar sitch while attending a wedding last week -- but unlike Richie, he had to be strongly nudged into belting out the same tune.

Check out both vids ... we're giving Sambora a narrow victory, based purely on enthusiasm.

Ciara and Russell Wilson are putting an end to any speculation about what went down in their hotel suite.

Russell Wilson looks like his wedding night with Ciara was everything he dreamed of and more.

The newlyweds couldn't possibly have looked more drained on their way out of their hotel following their wedding in Liverpool.

They famously said they planned to be celibate until marriage. Check out the gallery -- everything about them says ... worth the wait.

Ciara and Russell Wilson had a wedding fit for a king and queen in a castle that RENTED for tens of thousands of dollars.

TMZ broke the story ... the couple got hitched Wednesday at the 48-room Peckforton Castle, about an hour outside of Liverpool.

We did some digging, and found during high season, the digs rent for somewhere between $38k and $45k. We're guessing it may have been priced at the low end since the ceremony was on a Wednesday.

Other medieval extras ... a golden eagle greets wedding guests for $500, and $200 will get you an owl to fly the wedding rings to the altar.

The food is, well, very English -- duck, dingley dell piglet and beef "reared on the fells of Cumbria and dry aged for a minimum of 28 days."

Kevin Hart's call to action "Get f***** up with me!!!" ... that's what he told his boys in Vegas, and his birthday bash looks a lot like a bachelor party.

Kevin's been in Vegas for a few days and partied at Omnia Tuesday night, when he told the crowd, "I'm getting married."

Kev's been engaged to Eniko Parrish for 2 years.

Marriage ... it's in the air.

1:08 PM PT: Kevin posted on Snapchat he's super hung over ... we can only imagine.

Ciara's bachelorette went down 2 weeks ago in Vegas ... and no one connected the dots.

Ciara's BFFs, Serena Williams and Kelly Rowland, flew in for the weekend rager at the Wynn hotel. The crew -- about a dozen deep -- all agreed to keep it mum. Some signed NDAs.

As for what they did ... they hung at the pool, went to Intrigue nightclub, and also took in the aquatic show Le Reve.

Brazilian soccer star Neymar was partying at a nearby bungalow and stopped by to say hi.

TMZ broke the story ... Ciara and Russell are set to take the big plunge Wednesday in Liverpool.

Russell Wilson and Ciara are thiiiis close to being man and wife -- they're getting married in a ceremony in England in just a few hours ... and are making sure NO ONE leaks any photos.

Our sources tell us ... the couple is set to swap "I Dos" at a castle in front of roughly 100 of their closest friends and family members.

We're told all guests will be asked to fork over their cell phones -- so no one can Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, Periscope or MySpace the event.

Our sources say the guests will meet at a central location -- and will be transported to the mystery wedding location ... to ensure privacy.

Ciara and Russell Wilson will be married by the weekend, TMZ has learned.

The couple is in England with 100 of their close friends, along with family for the nuptials ... sources tell us.

The pic shows Ciara and Russell on their way to a pre-wedding dinner with the group ... Ciara wearing white.

We're told Ciara had a bachelorette party in Vegas 2 weeks ago.

We're told the actual wedding will go down in a day or 2 with a castle-like backdrop.

So long, celibacy.

Two guys who had to watch their ex-boyfriends' marriage proposal go viral ... are now crushing the dreams of Internet cupids, proving fairy tales do NOT come true, usually. Deal with it.

The guys, Matt and Jacob, became a thing on social media when they tweeted about the proposal that went down during London Pride.

If you missed it ... a London cop (Matt's ex-fiance) stopped in the middle of the parade, got down on one knee and asked his bf (Jacob's ex) to marry him. The proposal was shared more than 15 million times on Twitter, so Matt and Jacob quickly caught wind ... and couldn't resist tweeting.

Jacob and Matt tell us they were flooded with comments from people who thought it would be poetic justice if they got together -- but Matt says he has a new BF, so he's not looking.

They say they did exchange DMs, but simply to discuss their exes' engagement. Jacob says he'd be down to grab a pint with Matt, but that's it.

Mariah Carey has been coy about when she might marry James Packer ... but we're told they now want to seal the deal as soon as the ink is dry on her final divorce docs.

As we've been reporting, Mariah has been pushing Nick Cannon to sign the papers for more than a year, but he won't do it. We're told he hasn't made any money or custody demands ... that's been a done deal for a long time. Mariah's people believe Nick's lawyers are dragging it out for as long as possible.

James has already divorced his wife, so all that's left is Mimi. And one other thing ... our sources say they will have a prenup, but it's unclear if that's been signed.

That said, they want to marry ASAP. Realistically it probably won't happen until August at the earliest, when she wraps up her Vegas gig. They've planned to sail on James' yacht for a month off the coast of Capri, which would be a pretty perfect spot to tie the knot.

As for Nick, if you believe his freestyle, he'll finally sign.

Lindsay Lohan better have deep pockets if she wants her ex-gf, Samantha Ronson, to DJ for her upcoming nuptials.

Big offseason for L.A. Lakers forward Julius Randle ... who just proposed to his smokin' hot model girlfriend with a diamond that's bigger than her knuckle!!

The 21-year-old NBA player popped the question to Kendra Shaw during a romantic getaway to Greece ... and clearly, she said "Yes."

Randle started dating Shaw during his 1st season at the University of Kentucky -- and decided it was time to lock it up for good!

We're working on the ring details -- but DAMN ... we're guessin' it wasn't cheap.

Helluva weekend for ex-NBA star Kenyon Martin -- who got married on a YACHT ... off the coast of Miami, TMZ Sports has learned.

Martin tied the knot with his girlfriend Shakira Watson -- who went the non-traditional route and rocked a black wedding dress.

After the ceremony, the couple partied with some of the closest friends -- including ex-NBA star Al Harrington.

Congrats!

Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian have made a radical sea change ... they now want a TV special for their wedding, more than a million bucks, and they want the Kardashian girls there in force.

BC and Rob just signed on for a docu-series that will focus on her pregnancy, but the wedding is not part of the package.

Now we know why ... Chyna and Rob know that Kim scored millions when her ill-fated wedding to Kris Humphries was televised. They know they won't get Kim's money, but they feel more than worthy to get what Kris got, and they're insisting on 7 figures.
