\"After Jeezy’s mother unexpectedly passed, we quickly learned that life is too short,\" she continued. \"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 couple said they required negative COVID test results from all traveling guests at least two days prior to the wedding. Guests were also encouraged to wear off-white, which the couple said symbolizes \"the peace in their union.\"
The couple revealed to Vogue that Jeezy walked down the aisle in a custom champagne-blush colored suit to Kem's \"I Can’t Stop Loving You,\" while Mai walked to \"How Deep Is Your Love\" by the Bee Gees in a stunning nude gown with a 15-foot veil.
