"So my man called me a year ago and said, 'Mars I need you to DJ my wedding...don't get booked on June 25th 2016!' He came to my house and gave me the deposit early, but he didn't say he was marrying Jill Scott!" Mars revealed on Instagram.

Scott wore a white, belted dress with sheer sleeves and had her guests dress in white as well. Dobson and Mars arranged a surprise performance from rapper Big Daddy Kane for the reception.

"No one knew but me and the husband knew he was about to perform," Mars wrote. "Dude walks in and they didn't even recognize him until he starts rapping. Her face is soooo priceless!"

Scott and Dobson have been together since 2010. The singer was previously married to Lyzel Williams from 2001 to 2007 and shares a 7-year-old son, Jett Hamilton Roberts, with former fiancé Lil' John Roberts.
