Essence Atkins got married


Essence Atkins, former star of Half and Half, got married this weekend to her love, Jaime Mendez. The two met last year on Valentine's Day after the internet matchmaking website match.com determined they had a 97% compatability. The website sponsored the star-studded nuptials whose guest list boasted Sanaa Lathan, Gabrielle Union, and co-star Valerie Pettiford; Pettiford performed original music for the reception. Essence also booked a salsa band in honor of her hubby's Puerto Rican heritage. The blending of cultures also extended to the chef G. Garvin-created menu of roast pork, plantains, macaroni and cheese, and peach cobbler. The couple's single guests received a complimentary six month membership to match.com.
