Bobby Brown and Alicia Etheridge celebrated their nuptials on June 18 ^­_­in Hawaii and surrounded by friends and family, including Brown’s three eldest children. However, Brown’s only child with the late Whitney Houston, Bobbi Kristina, did not show up. Bobbi Kristina’s refusal to attend the wedding made the occasion a little less joyous. “Bobby Brown was desperate for her to go to his recent wedding, but she would not return his calls,” a source tells UsMagazine.com. Brown’s troubled relationship with Houston that ended in their 2007 divorce made for a rocky relationship between him and his daughter, and his marriage to Etheridge has not helped matters. “She told them she was not going because she did not like Alicia, and that she was [busy] filming her reality show with [aunt] Pat Houston in New York,” an insider shares. Hopefully their relationship will have a happy ending, just as Brown’s love life did.

On Monday, R&B star Bobby Brown tied the knot to manager Alicia Etheridge while visiting Hawaii to perform a New Edition concert. The recent groom originally popped the question to the new Mrs. Bobby Brown in 2010 during a sold-out concert, just three years after his divorce from the late Whitney Houston. He later opened up to People, saying  “I got my passion back for music and for loving myself because of her.” Family and friends were in attendance to support the couple, but Brown’s daughter with Houston, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was absent because of her poor relationship with her father. Unfortunately, the newlyweds will not be spending their honeymoon in Hawaii due to forthcoming tour dates, but will at least continue traveling side-by-side.
