On the same day, Magic wanted his fans to have a glimpse at how the whole thing went down. So he shared a six-slide post featuring the invitees.

Mini-Magic expressed himself in a mild yet fierce red-colored three-piece outfit — he tucked a button-down silk shirt in fitted pants and garnished it with a gold button encrusted blazer.

EJ added a mishmash of choker necklace and another piece of jewelry that ran from his neck down to his belly button. The reality TV star worked some poses by placing a thumb in his pocket, planting an infectious smile across his boldface, and showing off his flawless Caesar cut.

Cookie also added similar snaps to her Instagram page in honor of her husband's big day. It showed Magic rocking a stylish blue suit and holding a candle-lit cake.

He was surrounded by his wife, who was decked in a U-neckline-shaped monochrome dress. She told fans that it was an incredible evening and that she was grateful for spending the moment in the company of her family and friends.

EJ is proudly gay, which he establishes via interviews and online posts. In addition, he is content with his looks and does not intend to change to a transgender person.

But, he has worked on his weight, trimming down an amazing amount through surgery and a healthy diet, which has helped raise his confidence level.

Throughout the years, the young Johnson has received overwhelming support from his audience, including family and friends. However, this was not always the case as his dad did not accept his sexuality at first.

After EJ opened up about his sexuality to his family, Cookie did not have any problem loving her son regardless, but it took Magic some time.

Ultimately, he decided to support his son and has gone to enlighten other parents on the need to show consistent love for their offspring regardless.
