AYA: Are Titles Important?, I's (Jerrell) Married Now!, Posting My DL Trend
Auntea Jerrell is officially a married man! Get your cups ready as he shares all the details from his wedding—the pre-ceremony nerves, the intimate celebration, and the hilarious moment his new husband immediately started calling him "husband" 87 times in a row. Jerrell also shares the two major reasons they decided to tie the knot now (hint: one involves starting a family!). The celebration leads directly into a powerful Ask Yo Aunteas segment: How important are relationship titles? The Aunteas have very strong feelings about the difference between being introduced as "my friend" versus "my partner" or "my husband." Plus, Auntea Dawon reports back from his "integration phase" trip to London to visit his man (and delivers a scathing review of British food), and the Aunteas debate the messy, new "Post My DL" TikTok trend. Oh, and did yall watch the No Limit vs. Cash Money Verzuz?
