A year ago, the "The Real" co-host and "I Luv It' rapper Jeezy got engaged. Last month, on March 27, the couple decided to say their "I do's" and get married according to "Vogue".

The Coronavirus pandemic forced the forty-three-year-old musicians' international proposal plans to change, then subsequently their dream destination wedding plans.

Though the pair wanted to have their wedding in Lake Como or the South of France with a group of friends and family, they decided to plans.

"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."

Mai-Jenkins explained.

Mai's wedding dress was a combination of elegant and a touch of drama with a custom nude Galia Lahav gown, including a sheer bodice. The skirt was flowing chiffon with the matching nude appliqués applied to the dress by hand; she told "Vogue."

"The finished product was everything I envisioned."

Mai said.

Before saying their vows, the couple observed a traditional Vietnamese tea ceremony and bowed four times to show respect to their ancestors and parents, said Mai.

After that, they said their vows and sealed the deal with a kiss. Following the intimate ceremony, the couple and their guests enjoyed an after-party, including a special performance from Jeannie's mother, "Mama Mai."
