Jenelle Evans has dedicated a lot of time this summer to getting ready for her September wedding to David Eason.
When you consider that she used to spend her summers smoking weed with Kieffer, doing heroin with Courtland Rogers, or screaming at Nathan Griffith, it’s a big step forward.
She’s picked out her wedding dress, she’s got all the wedding attire for the kids — her flower girls will be Maryssa, David’s daughter, and Ensley, the daughter they share.
Her son Jace will also be in the wedding party, and while we haven’t seen little Kaiser in his tux, we assume he’ll be in on the festivities, too.
The big day is on September 23rd — we learned that when she shared her “save the date” photos.
She’s also shared many other wedding details in various interviews given over the past few months.
That’s how we know that she’s not inviting her mother, Barbara Evans, nor is she inviting any of her fellow Teen Mom stars.
Sounds like she’s got everything squared away right?
Except there may be one small issue …
Her groom may have to miss the wedding.
Because hey, remember all that stuff about David’s scary criminal history?
(And no, not the bit about him being cellmates with Jenelle’s first husband, Courtland Rogers, though that still is an amazing story.)
In 2014, he was arrested for allegedly assaulting and threatening to kill his ex, who may or may not have been heavily pregnant with their son at the time.
According to court documents, he assaulted the woman “by grabbing the victim around the throat and saying to the victim, ‘I will will you, bitch."”
He was ultimately found not guilty, but she was granted a restraining order against him.
The order also pertained to their son, and David violated it back in March of 2016 when he saw the little boy at a grocery store and approached him.
And sure, that doesn’t sound like a huge deal by itself, but the boy did have a protective order against David, and David broke the law by disregarding it.
Also, the boy’s mother didn’t get the order just for fun, you know?
In October, David was sentenced to 60 days in jail after being found guilty, but he filed an appeal, and the sentence got thrown out.
But we just learned that he’s got a new trial date set: September 5th.
Which means there’s a chance he could be found guilty and sentenced to jail time again … just in time to miss the wedding!
What could be more fitting for our favorite Teen Mom trainwreck?!
