It looks like Miami's favorite bachelor is trading in his players card for a wedding ring.

According to a story in People magazine, as of this week, former 2 Live Crew frontman Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell married his 27-year-old sweetheart, Kristin Thompson and the couple are currently celebrating their honeymoon.

The two tied the knot in Dallas and long-time friend Doug E. Fresh even DJ'd the party. Surprisingly, the couple also flew out Miami-soul singer Betty Wright to sing at the wedding and there were a host of celebrity guests on hand. Of course, all of this coincides with the start of Luke's new reality TV show, Luke's Parental Advisory, which airs August 4th on VH1. What great timing!
