Wedding bells are getting louder for Jeannie Mai and Jeezy

A year after getting engaged, the Real co-host and her rapper fiancé are one step closer to tying the knot. Why? The couple applied for a marriage license on Monday, March 29, the Fulton County Probate Court in Georgia confirmed to E! News. While there is currently no marriage date on file, the license will expire in six months. 

Back in early April 2020, the former Dancing With the Stars contestant said yes to Jeezy's proposal after he surprised her at home during the initial coronavirus quarantine. At the time, they had to cancel a planned trip to Vietnam, where he initially planned to get down on one knee. Instead, he planned a Vietnam-themed date night dinner that ended with a ring. 

Now, as they gear up to exchange vows, it sounds like they have more than one set of "I do's" ahead since Jeannie's mom wants them to have a traditional Vietnamese wedding.

"We've decided that we're gonna have two weddings. We're gonna have one the way me and Jay want," she said on Access in October 2020, "and then we'll have one for Mama Mai just because if we don't, we're gonna hear it for the rest of our lives."

The rest of their lives—together. "I want nothing more than to spend the rest of my life loving you....YES," Jeannie gushed about their engagement on Instagram last April. "Thank you, everyone, for celebrating this journey with us. We are praying love over everyone from here."
