Joann (Peewee) and Richard (Bruno) met in the summer of 2007 in Shreveport, Louisiana. Lets just say it was love at first sight for Bruno because he told Joann he loved her two weeks after they met. Being that Joann was originally born in Louisiana but moved to California at a very young age she was only there for the summer and her and Jacques (her son) would be going back home soon. As the summer passed and the two of them grew closer the feelings became mutual. The summer had come to an end and once Jacques and Joann got back to California, two months later she decided to move back to Louisiana and stay. Bruno and Pee wee’s connection grew, they weathered the storm of love and made it through all the challenges thrown their way. Two years later they were expecting their first child together, a baby girl named Ja’Niese, completing their blended family with Bruno's two eldest children Jamorria aka Day (7), Richaelyn aka Shay (5), and Pee wee’s son Jacques (3). As time continued to pass and the love continued to grow, late one night they decided that they needed to get married and that following Sunday on (her sister’s Tysheena (muffin) birthday) 12/09/12, they went to their Apostle's church office and he blessed their vows as they tied the knot.. Making Ms. Joann Haney, officially Mrs. Joann Bruton. That next year they bought their first home together, completing their family’s unit. The sea of love continued to drive their love boat on the waves of a relationship and through it all they not only led themselves, but they also helped family and friends with their relationships too. They are also known to host family events and truly are the backbone of their loved ones. Their journey with God also grew and unfortunately they suffered miscarriage's with twins which was devastating to their family. Nevertheless over the years, Joann continued to trust God while being the pillar of her family. A typical Sunday morning at church service the Apostle prayed over people at the altar and when he prayed over Joann she said she felt a kick in her stomach. So after church she decided to stop by the dollar store to grab a pregnancy test just out of curiosity, because she couldn't stop replaying the prayer in her head. When she got home and took the test the sea of emotion rushed her once again and she was filled with joy and sacredness all over again. Bruno assured her that everything would be ok and she had faith, so she knew he was right. Joann enjoyed every bit of her pregnancy and had a beautiful rainbow baby named Jacodis Bruton in the beginning of the pandemic in 2020. Jacodis was truly the completion to their family tree or so they thought. Since Ja’Niese was 10, they were already surprised when Jacodis came into this world, but God saw fit that Jacodis needed a partner since he would be so far in age from the rest of his siblings. In November of 2021 JaKiland Bruton entered this world completing their dream family and landing their love boat ashore to enjoy life with love, blessings, and happiness. Within the 15 years of being together and 10 years of marriage, Joann and Bruno want to celebrate their love with a 10 year vow renewal in Hawaii and a reception dinner party with their close family and friends. To top it off Jamorria welcomed his first son Ja’Cari into the world in June of 2022, officially making them grandparents. Congratulations to the BRUTONS on Love and Life !!!! Since Joann and Bruno did not have the chance to have a traditional wedding we are asking you to help us celebrate them with a contribution to the gift card registries on the registry page, but all gifts are welcomed!
