Summary
- Jessi Draper officiated her sister's unique wedding ceremony.
- The bride and groom drank each other's blood from a goblet.
- The ritual was described as the deepest covenant two souls can make.
Jessi Draper, known for her role in "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," recently officiated her sister Kiera Draper Lewis's wedding ceremony. The event took place in Tuscany on August 26, and a video captured a highly unusual ritual.
During the ceremony, the newlyweds, Kiera and Payton Lewis, pricked their fingers and dripped their blood into a shared goblet. Jessi Draper announced the ritual, stating, "Drink and receive the life, love and truth of one another." Both the bride and groom then sipped from the blood-filled cup.
Draper explained that this act of sharing blood represents the "deepest covenant two souls can make." This unconventional practice distinguished the wedding, moving beyond typical matrimonial traditions like exchanging rings and vows.
