Austyn finishes up her bridal glam as she prepares for the ceremony.

A dapper Kaleb also puts the finishing touches on his look as he waits to jump the broom.

A mother’s love? It’s the perfect finishing touch. Austyn is pictured with her mom, Shante’.

Austyn’s dad, music legend Tye Tribbett, got emotional as he caught sight of his not-so-little girl, ready to walk down the aisle.

The first man she ever loved, leading her to the man she’ll love forever.

“Having everyone come together to celebrate the love and commitment Kaleb and I share truly moved me,” Austyn says. “But the moment that will forever be etched in my heart was seeing Kaleb tear up at the altar. That image is something I’ll never forget!”

“Seeing my wife walk down the aisle was indescribable,” Kaleb says. “She looked absolutely stunning in that dress—it was perfect for her! I was so excited to see her after being apart all day.” He also counts having his brother and father present, the latter a cancer survivor, as moments he cherishes.

In addition to a unity sand ceremony, Austyn and Kaleb lit a candle together to signify the two parties coming together. The candle read, “And the two shall become one,” from Ephesians 5:31.

I knew Kaleb was my person because this feels safe—it feels like home,” she says. “With him, I can fully be myself and embrace everything I’m meant to be. Being in this space has allowed me to love myself more deeply and, in turn, love the people around me even better.”

And with that, the couple were introduced as husband and wife — the Lucketts.

“Being with Austyn has transformed me in so many ways—I’ve grown as a man because of her,” he says. “When I leave her presence, I don’t carry guilt or shame like I did in the past. Every moment with her feels right, effortless, and grounded in something real. Unlike past relationships that were rooted in shared pain or trauma, loving her is freeing. It’s pure.”

“Over the course of our friendship, we supported each other through so much—moments of loss, challenges to our faith, and countless ups and downs,” the bride says. “Through it all, one thing became clear: No matter what life threw at us, our love and respect for each other only grew stronger.”

The couple, with their parents and siblings after the ceremony. Recalling the excitement the family had when they became engaged, Austyn says, “My parents were thrilled to see us take this next step and mature into this decision together. But when we finally set a wedding date and started sharing details, that’s when it really hit them—it became real, and their excitement grew even more! My dad, especially, was overjoyed because Kaleb has been like a son to him since the day they met back in 2018.”

Some big names were invited to the wedding, including Pastor John Gray and Kirk Franklin. “I’ve known Uncle Kirk since I was a baby, and our families have always been there for each other during special moments,” says Austyn.

With the idea of red roses in mind, the tables were decked out with these floral centerpieces, red plates and napkins, gold flatware and black and gold tablecloths.

In step with the decor, Austyn and Kaleb’s tiered cake incorporated red roses, as well as gold and black accents.

The couple take a spin on the dance floor to begin the reception fun.

Austyn and her dad (who enjoyed an outfit change that embraced the red, black and gold color scheme), share a hug as they took to the dance floor.

Speaking to her bond with Franklin, seen here giving a speech, Austyn says, “During The Reunion Tour in 2023, Uncle Kirk and I grew especially close. In fact, we even went viral together a few times—it was such a memorable experience!”

In addition to seeing the ways in which their connection deepens as husband and wife, Austyn says, “We’re also looking forward to creating and sharing more of our music together, and watching our artistry evolve along with our love.”
