MAGA-themed wedding pays tribute to President Trump

Michigan
https://fox17online.com/2019/07/10/maga-themed-wedding-pays-tribute-to-president-trump/
It looked like America threw up all over my wedding and I’m not sorry," bride Audra Johnson said.

Johnson says in addition to celebrating their love, she and her husband decided to use their wedding day as an opportunity to celebrate President Donald Trump. No detail was overlooked, down to the groomsmen's 'don't tread on me'" cufflinks.
Each reception table featured a petition for an anti-abortion "heartbeat bill." Even the bride's nails were painted to look like American flags.

Not everyone in the couple's life was as accepting. The groom's father refused to attend.

"He sent us a text message," Johnson said. "It said, ‘As long as you support that racist in the White House, I won’t be attending your wedding.’ Which is sad but we did have a lot of people that loved us and showed up.”

I wonder how they’ll feel about their wedding pictures years down the line.

Definitely not the way I’d want to remember my wedding, but maybe they wanted a re-tweet from MF45 as a memento?

Really, what does it say about them that they make their wedding about trump rather than making it about each other and their families? Looks like a pure publicity stunt.

remake location this last decade or so

Also I think of the 2000 maniacs film that could be remade in those places now too although I do not think either had any confederate territory it really doesn’t matter any more cuz pride

it describes that wedding. They should be embarrassed. At least the grooms father showed some sense.

The dress is actually an Andre Soriano original," Johnson said. “It’s actually made out of a MAGA flag.”

Soriano is known for his custom "Trump gowns." His designs have been featured on the 2017 Grammys red carpet*

*True by only that one nut who always shows up in them but still I bet he can ask big bucks now for those rags

the groom is black (info seen in a different story regarding the event). No wonder his father was a no show. Also one of the bridesmaids, a Dem, refused to wear a MAGA hat, but did agree to a plain red one. I've seen photos of shitshows before, but this one takes the cake.

course . No reason but this then is fake news imo not really a trump wedding
Turns out they just dressed up for the reception
Hmmm fake news watch for a go fund me, or some grifter move to pay for the wedding
As it was just for the reception afterwards hmmmm really fake news not so trump crazy as they claim, just wanted to get in the new$

Also many people in the wedding photos there need to check their family history or are OK with racist trump

Thanks for the link and the photos
