South Sudanese-Australian model Aweng Chuol tied the knot on Thursday (December 12, 2019) with recent Fashion Institute of Technology grad Lexy May in a City Hall ceremony in New York. Chuol sported a very chic menswear-tailored, over-sized white suit while May wore a gown designed by Pyer Moss.

Reflecting on the momentous occasion, Ade-Chuol wrote on Facebook, “I became Mrs. Ade-Chuol for a reason greater than a few phone calls, I became the wife of an amazing woman because Love is something that was hidden from me growing up, living honestly is a vow that I made to my wife. And no body on planet earth will change my mind when it comes to her.

“Make the phone calls, articles and what not. I am happy, and truly happy for the very first time in my life. And for those who want to bring culture into this, I hope culture holds your hands when it’s time to be laid down 6ft after life is done. Live for you, and live freely.”

According to her Facebook account, Chuol proposed to May on September 22nd. In late November, she wrote on Twitter, “Popped my engagement to an angelic, intelligent and beyond perfect fiancé- to the entire village today.”

Chuol was born in Kakuma Refugee Camp in Turkana, Kenya, the first-born of South Sudanese parents who were forced to flee the country when war broke out. At age seven, she relocated to Australia where she was first scouted at age 16 while working at a McDonald’s. She didn’t enter the business until she was scouted a second time at age 18. Now 21, Chuol is also a full-time student.

The marriage is no small deal because Chuol still has family in South Sudan where same-sex activity is illegal and punishable by death. As such, in addition to comments celebrating the union, Chuol has also been on the receiving end of criticism from her homeland.

Responding to the pushback on Facebook, Chuol wrote, “To Y’all homophobic Sudanese parents that are ringing my mother on your outdated opinion on your one niece, I’mma need y’all to just relax.”

For his second appearance, Cudi wore an Off-White floral dress paired with a Ben Baller chain inspired by Takashi Murakami. 

In addition to a tribute to former SNL cast member Farley, who died of an overdose at age 33, both looks worn by Cudi are thought to be a tribute to Kurt Cobain who wore a mohair sweater (which recently sold at auction for $334k) and jeans during his famed MTV Unplugged performance in 1993. Cobain, who committed suicide at age 27 also once performed in a floral dress.
