Musiq Soulchild recently added another unforgettable wedding performance to his repertoire, this time helping a husband surprise his wife for their 10-year vow renewal and anniversary celebration. The R&B singer’s rendition of his hit song “Don’t Change” left the wife in a state of joyous shock.
A Surprise Serenade
The heartwarming moment was captured and shared by Elly B. Events, an Atlanta-based celebrity wedding planning company. The footage shows the wife, dressed elegantly, walking down the aisle expecting her husband to serenade her. However, as she reached the altar, she discovered Musiq Soulchild hidden on the staircase, having been singing the original song all along.
Overcome with emotion, the wife expressed her gratitude towards her husband, Dr. DeAngelo Harris. She shared, “My amazing husband, Dr. DeAngelo Harris, not only sang to me but went out of his way—with the time, effort, and financial resources it took—to surprise me with a Grammy-nominated artist on our special day.” She added that Musiq Soulchild was “a WHOLE VIBE” and performed at both the ceremony and reception, delighting guests.
