Is Mike Tyson of Chinese blood and heritage? How come he got married two weeks after his daughter’s death? Under Chinese customs, if a death in the family occurs, you either have to get married a few weeks or month after the death or you have to wait a year or two after the death in the family.
If it was me, I’d postpone my wedding if someone as close as my daughter dies! A wedding is meant to be an occasion to celebrate. How can you do that if you’re grieving? Perhaps Mike Tyson and new wife, Lakiha Spicer ain’t grieving at all?
Mike Tyson has got married, two weeks after the death of his daughter. The former world champion boxer tied the knot with Lakiha Spicer in Las Vegas on Saturday.
La Bella Wedding Chapel spokesman Shawn Absher said: “The couple were very happy and sincere before saying their vows. They were very heartwarming, and I think they really do love each other.”
Tyson and Spicer applied for a marriage license 30 minutes before their 10pm wedding. The couple did not invite any guests to the ceremony, and Spicer shunned a traditional gown instead wearing an “appropriate dress”. Tyson opted for a suit and tie.
