LA'PRINCIA:
[chuckles] Hi.
LA'PRINCIA:
I know. We can see ourselves, but we can't see you.
Your says paused.
LA'PRINCIA:
How did your fitting go?
LA'PRINCIA:
So Eddie just gets distracted.
And I'm gonna go back tomorrow.
My baby girl is getting married.
Getting married?
BOBBY:
Landon, with his mother, Malika.
And then I had my daughter, La'Princia and Bobby Jr.
with their mother, Kim Ward.
And I had my fourth child, Bobbi Kristina,
with my ex-wife, Whitney Houston,
and with Alicia,
we have two daughters, Bodhi and Hendrix,
and we have a son named Cassius.
Super excited about Princi's wedding.
-Super.
ALICIA:
-BOBBY:
Eddie Ray, Ray, Ray.
What else do we call him?
Fast Eddie.
Eddie Spaghetti.
Penne Eddie.
Penne Eddie?
Eddie Penne.
Oh, I wanted to ask you about, you know, the brunch.
Is 11 to 1 okay to-to, like, set that time for?
LA'PRINCIA:
Between the champagne and one of the lunch ones.
LA'PRINCIA:
one because I'm really too indecisive.
You are hilarious.
-Princi is... -Losing it right now.
...pretty fuzzed out.
Are you excited?
LA'PRINCIA:
Maybe I'll be excited like Saturday night,
you know, we're just so busy,
I don't even have time to be excited.
ALICIA: I know.
I know how that feels.
My second born La'Princia Queenesha Brown,
is my heart.
She's my road dog.
She's one of the goofiest people I know.
Me and her laugh a lot.
We laugh at the same things.
We are basically just alike.
All right.
Do you need anything else from us?
LA'PRINCIA:
I believe I'll... I'll cry.
But, you know, it ain't like I'm a punk
or nothing like that,
you know...
It's sweet.
A father is supposed to show his emotions
and his feelings during times like weddings,
-you know. -Absolutely.
Well, if you need us, just call us.
Try to meditate.
[La'Princia laughs]
Going into this wedding is really difficult because
La'Princia and Bobbi Kristina were really close.
They basically grew up together even though
they grew up in different households.
I mean, walking my oldest daughter down the aisle
just reminds me that every day
is not promised, you know,
and you have to keep your loved ones close.
Thanks for jumping on.
LA'PRINCIA:
-Love you, too. -Love you, too.
Love you, too. We can't wait to see you.
We can't wait to get there.
-Bye, honey. -LA'PRINCIA:
-I know. -Bye.
Bye.
We could tell she was-had a lot on her plate.
-Yeah. -Yeah.
[upbeat music playing]
ALICIA: Right there.
Here it is with the red sign, guys.
Yeah. We made it.
BOBBY: Let us off right here.
-ALICIA: Isn't it beautiful? -Yes.
ALICIA: All right, let's go.
Let's get out of here.
My wedding day is coming up so fast.
But the crazy thing is, I'm not nervous about
actually getting married.
I'm more nervous about everything coming together.
Hurry up. I want to be done.
Go, go, go. Run, run, run!
I think my oldest daughter, she's very smart.
She's waited a long time for this day to come.
And I think it's going to be beautiful.
Aren't you already up there, Eddie?
ALICIA: Yeah, you're already up there.
Oh, I'm already up there?
Wait, so, I'm by myself?
We've been together 10 years.
We've gone through a whole lot of stuff,
good and bad.
So when I went to propose La'Princia,
I'm an old school guy, so I went to call her
dad, when I called him, and I was like,
"Oh, can I take La'Princia's hand in marriage?"
He was like...
I like to get a rile out of people,
and whenever I can get a good...
"Oh, boy."
Or a big... out of her dad,
I know that I won.
That's a point for me.
So I go from the house to there by myself?
-Yeah. -Can I get some headphones?
Can I get some headphones? That's a long walk.
Eddie, that's all you ever want is all attention on you.
This is awkward just walking there right now.
MAN 1: This is the best part of the wedding for Eddie.
Yeah. Like, don't try to do my dad's walk.
-Get out of here. -WOMAN 1: You shouldn't...
ALICIA: Walk regular.
Just walk.
No, not like this.
And don't do the G walk.
I'm not doing the G walk.
Hey, I do it pretty good.
I know, honestly.
I...
You sure we shouldn't walk from here?
You sure we shouldn't walk from...
How are we gonna walk from here?
Everyone's going to see us walking from there
to here anyway.
We're cutting through [indistinct].
Daddy, I think, honestly, it's one day.
It's literally one time.
I'm not worried about that.
Okay. Yeah, you are.
What?
What are... what are you worried about?
The walk.
That's what you're worried- -The walk.
-The walk is going to be... -That's exactly my point.
That's exactly my point.
I am very anxious to see my daughter walk down the aisle.
It's an occasion that is gonna live in my heart forever.
I feel nervous because of that fact that I'm gonna
always remember that day.
We'll never have to do this again
besides the other one time.
-Right? -Okay.
-Okay. Cool. -Remember, right.
I can't believe you did it the whole way.
What's happenin', y'all?
[laughs] What's that?
LA'PRINCIA:
is walking his first daughter
down the aisle, I know it's gonna be hard,
because I remember when my aunt got married
and how he dealt with that.
He was really nervous because it's scary.
You know, somebody that you love,
a woman that you love, making sure that somebody else
is going to take care of them the way that you want them
to be taken care of.
So I can't imagine what he's gonna do
when his daughter's getting married.
When you guys walk down,
you'll be on your dad's left.
-Oh, yeah, left to right. -My left?
You want to come up here, give your daughter a kiss.
If she let you.
And then you want to shake Eddie's hand.
Come on. High-five.
I'm lucky that my dad actually likes Eddie because
there have been some times where he was acting up
about any boyfriend that I had.
I'll probably pull him to me.
I won't remember that he had to pass him off.
I believe Eddie knows La'Princia is my baby girl.
And he knows not to [bleep] up.
You know not to [bleep] up, right?
Oh, boy.
I appreciate you.
Yeah, yeah, it's good.
Hey, that's money, right there.
You know, you got to do this.
You got to do this two more times.
I know. Them... them two.
Oh, my God.
Yay, we just got married.
[all cheering]
EDDIE: Ease on.
-Ease on down a little? -No we're not easing.
-No? -We are not easing.
I'm pretty sure my daughter knows how much I love her
and how much I want her to be happy.
It's essential that- that she does know that.
I'm so proud of you, my love.
Thanks.
We only have to do this walk one more time.
-One more time. -And be done with it.
And it's a wrap.
Because it's really a lot for me.
And then celebration.
And then we celebrate
and then we eat and chill and be married.
Wait. Yeah, that's what they say.
Eat and be Merry.
Eat and be murr-married.
Married, married.
[soft music playing]
[indistinct chatter]
I got to see my daughter.
Today's the day of the wedding
and I'm feeling anxious.
I'm feeling like, let's get this done and let's party.
Princia.
Princia?
Oh... Huh?
Oh, my God.
Oh. Hi, gorgeous.
I felt...
I don't know how I felt as a father to see my daughter
in her dress for the first time.
Felt proud, very proud.
She's beautiful.
I'm holding it. I'm holding it.
Get the tears out now.
I'm holding it.
Well, I did cry earlier
so I wouldn't mess up my makeup.
I think this day will be emotional for a lot of people.
You will not boo-hoo.
We will not boo-hoo.
I am not looking forward to crying,
but I know that the tears will be there.
LA'PRINCIA: Thank you.
Don't start. Don't start.
Don't, please don't start, man.
Don't start.
My daughter looks really beautiful in her dress.
I don't know why I cried.
Feeling's just, like I said, I'm a pushover.
And my feelings, you know, just... just pop up.
I'm just like that, I'm a pussycat.
And I don't care.
I really don't care.
Why don't we just do it right here and then just.
LA'PRINCIA: Get it all done and over with.
Yeah, and then walk outside and just say,
"Okay, it's all done."
Are we ready?
[music]
[crowd chattering]
[all cheering]
WOMAN 2: Oh, boy... [chuckles]
Don't be scared.
I'm actually not.
But I didn't write my vows.
Winging it.
I plan on winging my speech.
LA'PRINCIA: Oh, my God.
[indistinct] Daddy, you got this.
[sighs heavily]
The scariest moment of my life.
I have anticipated this moment for so long.
La'Princia definitely deserves to be happy.
She is so special.
She's just a great daughter.
What are you doing?
Who gets this woman to be married to this man?
I do.
Robert Brown.
[crowd laughing]
As I hand La'Princia off.
My last thoughts were just happy thoughts.
I was crying at the time,
so it wasn't, it wasn't something I can control.
I got this. I got this.
KEN: Thank you. You may be seated.
Good afternoon and welcome.
On behalf of Eddie and La'Princia,
I wanna thank you for being here,
for making this day very special.
Eddie, I'm going to give you a secret that every
happily married man knows.
Yes, dear. You're right.
The couple has decided to write vows
that they want to share with each other.
At first I'll start by just thanking you for always
being there for me.
I know that you'll always have me.
And you always have.
You'll always be there no matter
what we're ever going through.
And I know that I'll always be there for you just as well.
Don't do it.
We've been through.
I love you so much and I can't wait to see
what else we get ourselves into.
La'Princia Queenesha...
LA'PRINCIA: All right.
Cool.
I knew from the start this is gonna be
a forever type of thing.
I want to be a lover, confidant, shoulder to lean on.
I'm excited for you to be the next Nina Ray.
I love you so much, Princi.
I am very proud that she chose somebody
that is kind-hearted, gentle and easy to get along with.
I'm just happy for my daughter and little Eddie Ray.
They deserve all the happiness in the world.
With this ring,
I promise you all of my love.
With this ring, I promise you all my love.
Is that your left?
Yes, it's my left.
Okay...
La'Princia, do you take Eddie to be your husband?
I do.
Eddie, will you take La'Princia to be your wife?
I do.
Eddie, La'Princia,
I can now pronounce you husband and wife.
[all cheering]
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. and Mrs. Eddie Ray.
[party music playing]
Oh, man.
My baby is married.
I did better than I thought I would do.
ALICIA: You did great.
BOBBY:
for La'Princia and Eddie.
I know I'm grateful that that it's over...
[Alicia laughs]
...and that we don't have
to go through this again
no time soon.
We have a long way until he walks
another daughter down the aisle.
Thank you.
-Congrats. -Thank you.
And we gonna make some noise up
in this place right now.
Let's turn this bitch out.
♪ That's right ♪ ♪ That's right ♪
♪ Up next ♪ ♪ Let's go ♪
♪ Let's, let's, let's go ♪
My favorite part of the wedding was her saying "I do,"
him saying "I do".
I knew my job was done.
I didn't, didn't have to pay for anything else.
And now we got to show these young folks how to party.
ALEX:
Mr. Bobby Brown, to come join us
at the stage right now.
BOBBY:
I think I cried because I knew that this was
gonna be the last dance that me and my daughter danced.
A dance that will forever be remembered.
ALEX: All right, let's get the party going
and make some noise for Mr. Bobby Brown,
the father of the bride.
Make some noise for La'Princia,
ladies and gentlemen, for me right now.
This is the father and daughter dance.
My daughter, La'Princia, is an amazing woman.
I have anticipated this moment for so long.
I'm really happy for my daughter.
La'Princia will always be my baby.
Even her being married,
she's going to forever be my little girl.
Those weren't sad tears, those were happy tears,
because I technically grew up with her
and just watching her in so much happiness
made me happy too.
My daughter, La'Princia, is an amazing woman.
She's just everything I expected in a daughter.
She's just my baby.
That's my boo.
That's my princess.
ALEX:
