Eddie Murphy marries Tracey Edmunds
Eddie Murphy and Tracey Edmonds were married on New Year’s Day on a private island off Bora Bora in French Polynesia in front of 25 friends and family, their reps tell People.
In a sunset ceremony on the beach Tuesday, Edmonds walked barefoot down the aisle to Gladys Knight’s “Makings of You.” The bride wore a custom-designed form-fitting dress by stylist and designer Sugia Nazel and Jill Baracci, designer and owner of Baracci boutique.
Murphy wore a cream suit and vest with an off-white handkerchief.
Among the guests were best man Johnny Gill, maid of honor Nicole Avant, matron of honor Julie Lev, as well as Edmonds’s parents Jacqueline and George McQuarn, her brother Michael, Murphy’s mother Lillian Lynch and his brother Vernon.
Edmonds, 40, gave her bridesmaids gold and diamond earrings from XIV Karats in Beverly Hills, and Murphy, 46, gave his groomsmen D.Atlantis watches.
The wedding was designed by event designer Colin Cowie, who created a gazebo on the beach made out of 6,000 shells for the ceremony. After the ceremony, guests celebrated at a private dinner and after-party, where DJ Darrin Ebron from Los Angeles kept the guests dancing.
The wedding cake was by Sam Godfrey of Perfect Endings in Napa, CA, and featured four layers in whites and cream with handmade sugar cymbidium and dendrobium orchids.
Edmonds and Murphy started dating last fall and were engaged in July. Congratulations to the happy couple!

They are both vile, they deserve each other. Her divorce from Babyface wasn’t even final when her and Eddie first stepped out as a couple. They are both glorified trash.

BEWARE!!!
My name is I Andrade, I’m writing you regarding DJ Darrin Ebron (Eddie Murphy and Tracy Edmunds wedding). He took fifteen hundred dollars (1500) from me on a verbal agreement. He did not uphold his end of the bargain and does not want to return the money. Just sending you a courtesy alert. Don’t trust Darrin Ebron with your money! I’ve known him for 4 years and just now found out the hard way. He took my money and ran.
I will be sending you the specific after my court day.
P.S. I should have seen this article on Yahoo sooner:
“Babyface Act 3rd Storee Calls Sex Discrimination Suit ‘Plan Of Deception’
Yahoo! Music, Aug 28, 2002 12:00 pm PDT
(8/28/02, 12 p.m. ET) — Gavin Rhone, the lead singer of the Edmonds Records Group (ERG) act 3rd Storee calls the sexual discrimination lawsuit filed by a former ERG employee he dated as “a long drawn-out plan of deception.”
Rhone was accused of impregnating Joie Binns, who filed a sex discrimination suit against Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, his wife Tracey Edmonds, their companies Edmonds Entertainment Group (EEG) and Edmonds Records Group (ERG), and selected employees on August 14, claiming that Binns was terminated from ERG in May because she was dating and had become pregnant by Rhone, 22.
Binns also alleged that EEG employee Darrin Ebron contacted her on numerous occasions in July, offering her between $20,000 and $150,000 to have the pregnancy aborted. According to Binns’s suit, she was five months pregnant at the time, and would have to undergo a late-term abortion.
