Shaquita and Julian Mackey celebrated their wedding aboard the Sun Dream Yacht out of Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 5/25/2025. Approximately 50 close friends and family members boarded the Sun Dream that Sunday night and were directed to the top deck for the ceremony. After the happy couple tied the knot, all of the guests were invited to the mid-deck for drinks and appetizers. Shaquita and Julian remained on the top deck with immediate family members for pictures. When it was time for the intros, Shaquita and Julian entered the dance floor to Lifestyle by Young Thug then they went right into You and I by John Legend as their first dance. Shaquita then danced with her dad to September by Earth, Wind and Fire and with her mom to Get Down Tonight by K.C. and the Sunshine Band. After a short dance set, all of the guests were invited to the main deck for a buffet style dinner. During dinner, the toasts were given by several friends and family members then everyone came back up to the mid-deck for the came cutting and some dancing fun. Julian did provide me with a play list that included top 40, funk, Motown, and 2000s hip-hop and R&B. Perfect mix of genres for this very exited group of guests. The dancing continued as the evening progressed and as we approached the dock I played Cupid by 112 as the closing song.
Congrats to Shaquita, Julian and the entire Mackey and Hicks families.
Special thanks to the crew aboard the Sun Dream for always providing a smooth ride.
