Schaffer (also known as the hitmaking singer Ne-Yo) and Crystal Smith renewed their wedding vows in an elaborate ceremony in Las Vegas on April 24.
Ne-Yo and his blushing bride shared photos of the lavish crimson-themed renewal ceremony on their respective social media accounts. A split-screen reel of the couple revealed an exquisite hotel suite floor covered in American Beauty rose petals. The top of the video showed the pair passionately kissing one another.
Ne-Yo addressed Crystal with an expressive monologue about their love.
“First and foremost babe, I don’t know if my level of excitement truly reflects how honored and beyond happy I am that we are in this place. Walking into this room, and seeing what you did. You hit it right on the head. Normally it’s me doing this kind of stuff for you, but it’s good to be on the other side of and you did your thing, you definitely delivered. Yes. It’s beautiful. I am beyond happy to share forever with you.”
