A Michigan couple threw a MAGA-themed wedding that was complete with guns and an anti-abortion heartbeat bill petition guests could sign.
Audra Lemons and Jeff Johnson got married in Kalamazoo, the wedding theme was based on their political beliefs and support for President Donald Trump. The bride was wearing a MAGA-printed dress at the reception, while her Marine veteran groom donned full dress uniform for the occasion.
‘It looked like America threw up all over my wedding and I’m not sorry,’ Audra told Fox 17 about the event.
The wedding was in red, white and blue theme and the groomsmen wore ‘don’t tread on me’ cuff-links.
She changed different dresses for wedding pictures and reception.
The bridal dress designed by Andre Soriano was created from a MAGA flag and featured Trump’s popular slogan ‘Make America Great Again’ down the front.
Andre also creates custom ‘Trump gowns’ for people, including previously designing dresses for outspoken MAGA supporter and singer Joy Villa.
Guests were also encouraged to sign anti-abortion heartbeat bill petitions at the reception.
Her bridesmaid is a Democrat and does not support Trump. She asked the bride about not wearing a Trump hat during the wedding party pictures.
‘We were gonna do our photos with the Trump hats and she said, “You know I love you, but I can’t wear the Trump hat,”‘ Audra explained, recalling her conversation with her maid of honor.
‘I said, “It’s OK. It’s OK. Just wear a red hat. We still love you. We can have completely different opinions about everything and still love each other.”
Audra’s father-in-law refused to attend the wedding.
‘He sent us a text message,’ Audra 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.’
She shared the pictures on social media that sparked some backlash for Audra from followers who did not like the idea of the political theme wedding.
‘Looks like she’s wearing…the cover for the tables,’ one person commented.
Another person said they were ‘literally dying’ that someone made MAGA their wedding theme.
‘This is an actual wedding. Like a real thing. That happened. This happened,’ the shocked commenter expressed.
But Audra didn’t feel bad and id not let any comment ruin her day, and she claimed her MAGA dress ‘cost more than the commenter’s entire years pay.’
