May was the month of the wedding, and the event was indeed beautiful. From the wedding dress to the vows, the couple had documented everything for their fans. Just recently, VH1 premiered ‘Shaunie & Keion’s Destination I Do.’
Shaunie shared in an episode that she even invited her former NBA legend husband to attend the wedding. However, she also revealed that she didn’t really want Shaq to attend the event. It was more of a formality. “I asked him did he want to come to the wedding, I didn’t really mean it,” she admitted.
As the new episode of their wedding is released, we are left with a number of revelations. Shaunie’s wedding invite revelation had her friends burst out in laughter.
However, as it turns out, Shaq politely declined the offer. The Big Aristotle didn’t want to steal the thunder in Shaunie’s big day.
While trying to find a wedding gown, Shaunie also mentioned how she felt when Shaq took responsibility for their separation. In fact, she felt a relief after years of public speculation held her responsible for the separation.
