00:36 Jeannie's rep shared with People Magazine at the time,
00:39 "Jeannie and J were set for a trip to Vietnam this April.

01:04 in unexpected but perfect ways, revealing they initially intended to get married in Italy.
01:10 She told the mag, "We were really looking forward to having all of our friends and family there to celebrate,
01:14 but we had to change all of our wedding plans due to COVID.
01:17 After Jeezy's mother unexpectedly passed, we quickly learned that life is too short.
01:22 And at the end of the day, Jeezy and I really just wanted to become husband and wife.
01:26 So we decided to turn our original wedding into a mini-money,
01:29 where we exchanged our vows in front of our immediate family and a few close friends."
