Louisiana rapper Kevin Gates and his long time sweetheart Shandreka “Dreka” Haynes said “I do” yesterday in a lavish ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton in New Orleans.

The Gates couple made it to the altar right before Dreka’s pregnancy starts showing. Dreka wore a beautiful beaded bridal gown with thigh-high slits on each side. The 29 year old rapper, who’s real name is Kevin Gilyard, wore a traditional tux. Check out the pics from their gorgeous ceremony & video of Mrs. Kevin Gates backing it up on the dance floor:
