Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper officiates sister's bizarre wedding ceremony where bride and groom drink each other's blood

1 week ago 33

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper officiated her sister's wedding and instructed the couple to partake in a unique blood ritual. 

'Drink and receive the life, love and truth of one another,' she said at one point as she told the couple to drop their blood into the same cup and drink from it.

Jessi, 34, officiated both of her sister Kiera Draper Lewis' two wedding ceremonies to Payton Lewis and helped them exchange more than just vows at the altar. 

In a video Kiera, 31, shared on Instagram from the wedding ceremony, the bride and groom pricked each other's fingers and then dropped their blood into a silver goblet.

'By the deepest covenant two souls can make, the sharing of blood,' Jessi said during the ritual. 

This comes just weeks after Jessi finalized her divorce with ex Jordan Ngatikaura following five years of marriage and amid her new romance, which is reportedly 'getting serious.'

'Blood has been recognized as the sacred carrier of spirit. It holds your history, your ancestors, and your very essence.' 

She continued: 'Your individual lives have entered this cup. Drink and receive the life, love and truth of one another.' 

The reality TV star legally married the bride and groom on August 1 and also officiated the couple's destination wedding in Tuscany on August 26.

In the Instagram video shared by Kiera and Cally Films, the couple also partook in a hand-fasting traditional to symbolically bind their hands together in union. 

The newlyweds have been romantically linked since June 2024. 

Jessi, who previously opened up about what plastic surgery procedures she has undergone, has recently been basking in her new romance with Marciano Brunette.

She and her ex-husband Ngatikaura finalized their divorce on September 11. 

Ngatikaura previously filed for divorce in March after five years of marriage. 

Since then, Jessi has purchased a new home and will be seeing her boyfriend moving in with her, per Us Weekly. 

Her relationship with Marciano became official over the summer.

'Jessi bought a new house in Utah, but Marciano will be moving in part-time,' a source told the outlet. 'He is slowly transitioning his life from Vegas to Utah.' 

The insider continued: 'The plan is for them to live together. They are very serious, and it's going well.' 

Earlier this week, Jessi also shared an Instagram Reel that hinted at her and her boyfriend's relationship moving to the next stage. 

The video showed Marciano, 33, picking up Jessi and spinning her around inside of an empty house. She wrote in the caption: 'New beginning loading.' 

Jessi, who shares two children with her ex-husband, reportedly has no plans to get married again after her divorce. 

A source told Us Weekly: 'But she is fully committed to [Marciano] and is open to having more kids. 

'He gets along with all of her kids and treats her really well. She is in a great place now that her divorce is final and she is free to live her life on her own terms.'

The pair previously met in Italy in August 2024 when the cast of Mormon Wives visited the Vanderpump Villa resort. 

In September 2024, Jessi and Marciano shared a kiss in Los Angeles while she was still married to her now-ex Ngatikaura. 

Their connection later came out as an emotional affair on the hit series. 

Jessi and Marciano made their red carpet debut at the American Music Awards in May, and at the time, she said they were just 'casually dating.'
