Kirk Franklin’s NOW ADULT DAUGHTER Gets Married & U Gotta See Them Dance!
Posted On : October 2, 2016
Kirk Franklin’s 27 year old daughter, Carrington Franklin, got married to her husband, Max Nakwaasah, on Saturday (10-1-2016), and Kirk was beaming with pride and overwhelming emotions when he walked his not-so-little-anymore-lil’ girl down the aisle.

He not only walked Carrington down the aisle, he officiated the wedding, but it was their off the chain father/daughter dance that was the coolest thing ever *SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO OF THEIR DANCE*…

Leading up to Carrington’s big moment, Kirk shared this photo where he reminisced about his daughter and how much he didn’t want her to grow up, but accepts that fact now:

Then he posted this pic just before he was about to walk Carrington down the aisle…
And lastly came the dance…it was epic and in true Kirk Franklin fashion. Wait for it…
Of course we couldn’t expect nothing less from THE Kirk Franklin- the man who helped usher in a whole new hip hop vibe to today’s gospel music. He’s kind of like the ‘BBD of gospel’ Bell, Biv, Devoe brought something new to R&B back in the day when they introduced their “hip hop, smoothed out with a R&B tip, with a pop feel, appeal to it” style to the game and Kirk’s thing could be summed up as ‘gospel, smoothed out on a R&B tip, with a pop feel, appeal, to it.’
BBD
True, the hip hop/R&B fused gospel music is pretty standard now, but back in ’93 when Kirk was the hype man on his own gospel records, that was a new thing and a big deal. So yeah, I’ll give Kirk that ‘BBD of Gospel title.’

Anyways, the most beautiful part of it all is that he’s come a long way and seeing the photos of his daughter all grown up now- when it seemed like just yesterday she was 10- is a reminder of that fact. Kirk’s been grinding hard with his musical ministry since before Carrington was born and he’s still at it.
We also gotta give it up for Kirk’s wife, Tammy, for helping to raise a wonderful daughter, as well as there three other children, and for standing by her man through thick and thin.

Carrington also posted this touching clip of her Pops becoming overwhelmed with emotion after she surprised him by asking him to do the honors of officiating her wedding…

Old School fun fact:
Carrington is actually Kirk’s adopted daughter and her mother’s biological child. After Kirk and Tammy were married in 1996, Kirk officially adopted Carrington and raised her as his own. Talk about a stand up brotha!
Sending a big congratulations to and we wish her and her new husband a lifetime of happiness.
We salute the incredible people and beautiful memories of that "old school". We’re not saying that every artist and every facet of the soul era was perfect, but the artists’ contributions to soul music and the old school memories of that particular time are PRICELESS.
