Her husband Karon Riley looks so familiar…does anyone know where I may have seen him?

- MRW on February 29th, 2008

She looks familiar to me…was she on “The Steve Harvey Show”? If not, I think she looks just like an actress who was.

Best of luck to them!

Sarah’s note: Yes, that’s her.

Terri and Karon are a beautiful couple. Karon is super hot! He plays in the Arena Football League with the Cleveland Gladiators.

They look so sweet together. Her new hubby is very cute.

- Destiny on February 29th, 2008

Yes, she was on the Steve Harvey Show…I’m so happy for them. Some people might think its a weird for them to get married in track suits but I find it to be nice. The actual marriage is what counts. I’ve heard a few folks say…too many people focus on the wedding and not the marriage. Congrats to both of them!!

She is so pretty. She was on the Steve Harvey Show, and was pregnant on the show and in real life during the last season. She was also on the short-lived Just the Two of Us on the WB network.

How cute. Very good looking couple. I love when couples go for it, and skip spending SO much money on a traditional ceremony.

- M-dot on February 29th, 2008

Aw, that’s so cute! Congratulations to them! Karon is very handsome and looks a bit like my dad.

I did know that Ms. Vaughn was indeed expecting her second child,however it’s news to me that she had divorced and remarried. I’m glad that she and her new husband are happy. He does look very familiar, he’s handsome and she is beautiful. Congrats to the couple. I just watched a movie with her starring called “Dirty Laundry”. I loved her on The Steve Harvey Show and Soul Food (on Showtime) she had a guest starring role.

Yes she is beautiful and he is quite handsome! It runs in his family and I would know because he is my 1st cousin! HE played for a few NFL teams and he played at Minnesota in college he now plays Arena football! THEY are BOTH wonderful people and I love them both a great deal!

- NETTA on May 2nd, 2008

AND IT MOST DEFINITELY DOESN’T MATTER WHAT A PERSON GETS MARRIED IN, WHEN LOVE IS IN PLAY, THAT’S ALL THAT COUNT AND BESIDES THAT’S SOMETHING TOTALLY DIFFERENT, THE HECK WITH THE EXPENSIVE WEDDING DRESS, HEELS, MAKE-UP AND THE OSTENTATIOUSNESS OF THE ENTIRE WEDDING CEREMONY ALL TOGETHER, THEY LOVE EACH OTHER THAT’S WHAT COUNT. AND TERRI, GIVE THAT MAN ONE MORE CHILD GIRL, THEN Y’ALL WILL BE EVEN MORE COMPLETE IN ADDITION TO YOUR PREVIOUS CHILD AND THE LIL CUTIEPIE NEWBORN! AND “ANDI” KARON DOES LOOK FAMILIAR, I’M THINKING TO MYSELF ALSO… O WAIT, YOU KNOW WHO HE REALLY LOOKS LIKE THOUGH, THAT GUY THAT PLAYED THE ROLE OF A SUPPOSING TO BE FAMOUS FORMER BASKETBALL STAR IN “THE WAYAN BROTHERS” AND TRIED TO CON SHAWN OUT OF HIS MONEY BUT HE WAS MUCH SKINNIER THOUGH.
