As mentioned earlier, Jim and Shawnee kept their marriage under wraps, and many have questions about their first encounter and relationship details. The duo met for the first time through mutual friends in 1996. The couple must have been smitten on their first meet and started their relationship after a while.
In 2001, the couple got engaged. Then, in July 2002, the lovebirds tied the knot at the Wieuca Road Baptist Church in Buckhead, Georgia. A total of 500 guests, including Dikembe Mutombo, Sam Cassell, and Damon Stoudamire, graced their ceremony. In addition, Mike Tyson gave away Jim Jackson’s wife. It was a lovely event, where members of the R&B Group Boyz II Men sang, and Singer Tyrese serenaded the reception.
