About a week later, the wedding invitations had been sent out.
Quincy Jones, who had been sitting on his couch, flipping through the mail, grabbed the large white envelope and saw that it was addressed to him and his wife, Peggy.
He tore open the envelope and pulled out the invitation, his eyes scanning over the elegant words and the beautiful illustration of the couple.
"Hey, Peg, look what we got!" he called out, holding the invitation up for her to see. She came over and peered at it, her eyes lighting up in surprise and delight.
"Wow, this is beautiful," she said, taking the invitation from him and running her fingers over the smooth, creamy paper. "Do you think we can make it?"
Quincy smiled, "It's Michael Jackson and Athena Tyler! Of course we can make it! We can't miss this once-in-a-lifetime event. It's not every day that two legends come together to say 'I do'."
Lionel Richie, in his house in Alabama, pulled his mail out of his mailbox and his eyes immediately found the glossy white envelope. He recognized the handwriting on the front instantly, and his heart skipped a beat.
He sat down at the kitchen table, careful not to tear the envelope, and with trembling fingers, he carefully opened it. He pulled out the elegant invitation and read the words aloud to himself, his voice quivering with emotion.
"Oh my God!" he exclaimed, "It's happening!"
Chris Tucker, who was in Los Angeles at the time, was going through his mail when he spotted the thick, cream-colored envelope.
He tore it open eagerly. His heart raced as he pulled out the elegantly designed card, his eyes scanning over the words and the beautiful illustration.
"Oh my god, they're getting married!" he exclaimed, bursting into laughter, "Michael Jackson and Athena Tyler! Who would have thought this would happen?" he giggled, "Ooh! I need a tux!"
Stevie Wonder was in the studio recording a new album when his manager came in.
"Stevie! You got an invitation to Michael Jackson and Athena Tyler's wedding!" he exclaimed, holding up the thick envelope.
Stevie's eyes widened in surprise from under his sunglasses, "Wow, that's amazing!" he said, tearing open the envelope and pulling out the elegant invitation. He ran his fingers over the words, as his invitation was specially made to accommodate his unique visual impairment.
The braille on the invitation was beautiful and meticulous, and he knew that it had been handcrafted with care.
"This is really something special," he said, a smile spreading across his face. "I'm so happy for them."
James Brown was in the middle of a concert when one of his dancers ran on stage, waving a large, glossy envelope.
"Mr. Brown, you gotta see this!" the dancer said, breathless from running across the stage.
