The messages were brief, but their tenderness was clear. People who had watched the couple share part of their lives were now trying to offer Trina some comfort in hers.
Their training updates remain glimpses of what they chose to share publicly. What they preserve is a husband and wife making an effort together, with followers encouraging them along the way.
Years before those posts, Trina had spoken with unmistakable joy about becoming his wife. Her words from their wedding provide an especially loving picture of the marriage they were beginning.
Trina’s Wedding-Day Words Were Full of Love
Trina and Von married on December 15, 2019, in St. Louis, Missouri. She was 45 when they celebrated their wedding at Windows on Washington, a venue in the city’s historic downtown neighborhood. Speaking to People, Trina described the occasion in her own delighted words.
“Our wedding day was unpredictable and amazing. Our personalities shined through, and it was a great example of our relationship. Simple elegance, but all about celebrating with family and friends. It was perfect for us.”
Her pleasure in the day was wonderfully personal. She loved that the celebration reflected them, right down to its unpredictability. Trina also spoke about the man she had married and the importance of bringing their loved ones into the occasion.
“I’m married to an amazing man, and our night was about displaying our love for each other amongst our loved ones and including our loved ones and blending our families. Who could ask for anything more?!”
Blending their families was part of what made the wedding so meaningful to her. The people closest to them were included in the happiness they were celebrating.
Trina’s sisters, Toni, Tamar, Traci, and Towanda Braxton, attended, along with her brother, Michael Braxton Jr., and their mother, Evelyn Braxton. Judge Mablean Ephriam officiated the ceremony.
The bride wore a floor-length white gown by Naama & Anat Haute Couture. Lace straps framed the dress’s deeply cut V-shaped bustier, while her hair was arranged in an updo. A jeweled silver headpiece with two layers added sparkle above her face. She completed the bridal look with a silver pendant necklace, earrings, and a coordinating bangle.
