Jeannie Mai and Jeezy secretly got married on March 27th in Atlanta in their backyard after being engaged for a year. The two were originally planning for a destination wedding but changed their mind.
“We were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate,” Mai told Vogue. “But we had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID. After Jeezy’s mother unexpectedly passed, we quickly learned that life is too short. And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife. So we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-mony, where we exchanged our vows in front of our immediate family and a few close friends.”
The two honored his mom via his dad, who left a single pink rose on the chair that would have been hers if she was still alive. Mai’s parents also played a part in her big day. Her dad walked her down the aisle, and Mama Mai sang at the after-party.
Besides having an American ceremony, they also had a Vietnamese one honoring Mai’s heritage.
Congrats to the two.
