Heartfelt Tribute | The Sacred Final Gift Michael Cardwell Gave to Kaitlyn When the Court Ruled That He Could Not Visit His Daughter: A Tearful Gift
Mama June’s former son-in-law and Anna Cardwell’s ex-husband, Michael Cardwell has tied the knot amid his custody loss. He and his fiancee, London Smith were really hopeful that they would have Kaitlyn for this momentous occasion. Unfortunately, things did not work out the way that they had hoped. Still, the show must go on, so Michael and London celebrated their love in the best way possible. Keep reading for all of the details.
Anna Cardwell’s Ex Gets Married Amid Custody Loss
It has been a rough nine months and a half months since Anna Cardwell passed away. With no firm custody plan set in place for her eldest daughter, Kaitlyn, Mama June came in and took over. Then, Anna’s ex-husband, Michael Cardwell filed for custody of Kaitlyn. He had custody of their daughter, Kylee and now he hoped to get Kaitlyn, as well. Michael maintained that he was like a father to her, paid for her education, and spent a lot of time with Kaitlyn despite the divorce. More so, it seemed appropriate to keep the sisters together as they were mourning the loss of their mother.
Kaitlyn ended up writing a letter stating she wanted to stay with Mama June. Plus, June alleged Michael had been abusive and Kaitlyn was scared to be taken from her grandma. In the end, June was granted custody of her granddaughter and it was a huge blow to Michael and London who loved her and had a lot of hope. Despite all of this, they were planning their wedding so the show had to go on. Over the weekend, the couple tied the knot, with Kylee looking simply precious.
London, now a Cardwell, shared photos of the big day on her Facebook and she made a beautiful bride. Kylee looked on and was beaming to be a part of this beautiful occasion. The last wedding she attended was her late mother, Anna Cardwell’s intimate backyard nuptials to Eldridge Toney. This was very different as it was much more lavish and special as Kylee danced with her new bonus mom. Sadly, it does not appear that Kaitlyn was there.
A Momentous Occassion
Despite the sad custody loss, Michael and London Cardwell celebrated and made the absolute best of their day. Followers immediately headed to Reddit to chat about the sweet photos, especially of London and Kylee:
- Kylee looks soooo happy!
- Beautiful pictures! Kaitlyn should have been there with her sister!
- I’m so glad Kylee seems to have ended up with an absolutely stellar stepmom
- These are beautiful
Yes, Kaitlyn did come up as did the fact that she ended up with Mama June:
- That’s where Kaitlyn should have gone …. I’m just waiting to see how Junebug is going to pimp her out making her the new cash cow!!! That woman has no shame…
- Didn’t even let Kaitlyn attend her dad’s wedding…..wow. it’s actually horrible how June is trying to straight up cut Michael out of Kaitlyn’s life. Even though she (unfortunately) has custody, she should still be allowing Kaitlyn to have visitation with Michael and London, or at least spend time with her sister often. That’s just common sense.
Hopefully, Kaitlyn does not feel hurt by seeing these photos and will still get to celebrate at some point. What are your thoughts on Kaitlyn not being there and is this what Anna Cardwell would have wanted? Let us know in the comments below.
