The Covid and its inflicted restriction ruined many preplanned events like trips and marriages, and Jeezy and Mai were also the victims of damned plans. But turns out the pair were undeterred as they opted to tie the knots anyways. Instead of walking down the aisle at their preferred location at Lake Como, the couple held an intimate ceremony at their Atlanta home.
