“We wanted the vibe of our wedding to be traditional in a sense, but also playful and fun and unique,” says JoJo. “We’ve been planning for a long time, so we wanted it to be just right!”
“We had a date in 2020, and then we had a date in 2021,” says Jordan. “We kept thinking the world would get back to normal but it didn’t!”
The couple says they briefly considered eloping, but ultimately “realized that time had already been on our side and we decided to just ride it out so the day could be exactly what we wanted it to be,” notes JoJo.
Now, as the couple enjoys newlywed bliss, they are both grateful for how far they’ve come. “Jordan is everything I’ve always looked for in a man,” says JoJo. “I’m just so ready for this next chapter of our lives to start!”
