A Michigan couple says in addition to celebrating their love, they decided to use their wedding day as an opportunity to celebrate President Donald Trump.
The bride, Audra Johnson, says the idea for the “Make America Great Again” wedding came when the couple decided on a patriotic-themed celebration.
“We both love our country,” Audra says.
Audra and her husband, Jeff Johnson, tied the knot in front of friends and family on July 4 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
Audra’s wedding dress was sure to capture everyone’s attention. The bride wore a white dress with the words "Make America Great Again" in red lettering. She says the dress was inspired by the blue MAGA dress singer Joy Villa wore to this year’s Grammys.
Audra says Jeff, a U.S. marine, knew how much she loved the dress, so he contacted the designer, Andre Soriano.
“This is why I love this man,” she says of Jeff when she learned of the surprise.
Audra and Jeff flew to D.C. to meet with Soriano and discuss their plans for the wedding dress, which was made from the MAGA flag, Audra says.
Audra’s dress wasn’t the only MAGA-themed apparel. The bridal party wore red MAGA hats, all but one bridesmaid. “One of my bridesmaids is a hardcore Democrat,” Audra explains.
The bride said she respected her lifelong friend’s decision not to wear the hat, and they agreed a plain red hat would be donned for the wedding photos. Audra says her friend even sported an anti-Trump shirt during the wedding rehearsal, but it was all in light-hearted fun. “We’ve been friends forever and that’s how it should be,” Audra says. “We’ve been friends forever.”

If I had done that in California, NOBODY would have come except my wife. If I made that the theme of my daughter’s wedding, even SHE would not attend.
I think she said her "now-husband's father" - that is, her father-in-law refused to show up. (At least that's what I think I heard through all the tinnitus). :-(
Nice ... Even a Dem enjoyed it.
LOL...in that case, we probably BOTH heard it wrong.
I wonder if they went to a fag bakery and demanded they make them a cake?
Love it!!
That’s a LOT of blue fabric.
The article mentioned that one of the bridesmaids was a Democrat and that
her friend refused to make a MAGA hat, but agreed to wear a basic red hat.
Looking at the picture, the only female not wearing a MAGA hat is on the left
side of the picture.
Bump
Yikes!!
(As an aside, my wife’s mom is filapina... Explains my possible crush on Michele Malkin... :)
That’s a LOT of blue fabric.
That and ‘she doesn’t sweat much for a fat girl’.
